Hmmm, Legions will be a standalone and online game, how the hell will we disable it when its online?
Well you could make trees without leaves, like the ones that were in the image that I posted.

The game will have options under video settings. So the same way you set your resolution and keybindings is how you will be able to disable any weather effects.
As for the trees without leaves, maybe..but we would need several models of the same type of tree so you don't see a hundred of the same shapes. Doing organic shapes in a "good" way is also a huge pain on how we are forced to create models in Legions (it is not as easy as you would think it is unfortunately or we would do it).
All in all it is much easier to put our efforts into something else at this time. An art team can either pump out merely a dozen trees in a week or they can pump out several base/weapon/asset models, textures and effects, which we can test and develop into multiple things. All of this takes large chunks of time and we don't have an art team of over 40 people like valve does. Nor do we want to sit on our butts for 2 weeks while we wait for the art team to do one project on a minor detail and have nothing for us to test and develop until they finish it and make something else.
If someone wants to model, you can play with making tree .dif files in the hammer modeler and see how it goes.

Hmm, sounds advanced. But I'll give it a try.
