Bug Report: Rainy fireflies in Gira

[Carl Palmner]

Just noticed a bug while playing through Gira/Kemo:

When it rains in Kemo, the cloud of fireflies does not go away--it continues to fly around the plants, and functions as if it is not raining; that is to say, one can walk up to the cloud and pick up fireflies and walk around with them even though it is raining.

I was beginning to think my rainclouds were broken in Kemo but eventually it started to pour buckets. The fireflies around me flew away as well as the ones in the trees. However, when I checked back just now my fireflies were back. Maybe the swarm just flew over me when I was not looking.

Waiting for another storm and not standing where the swarm is.... nope. The flies went away and stayed away after the rain. Gira has a bad tendency to lose fish traps but I never had trouble with the fireflies.

Same thing happened with both of my Avatars (#12181 and #28272). As soon as the rain started those bugs flew straight up. When the rain quit they reappeared within the same area...

EDIT: I am unable to duplicate the original bug report. PS My Avatars did not have any bugs flying about them...

I didn't encounter that bug but let me tell you in Gehn it pours cats & dogs in Kemo...Never saw so much rain

I was looking for a towel after my shower the other day

Weird. Guess it was just a one-time thing.

As acorn and johnsoic reported, I never had any problems with the fireflies. The fireflies can't stand the rain, as far as I can see.

In retrospect, they may have just stuck around to stare at me. I am incredibly good-looking, if you haven't already heard.
