The New Sage Icon, Thoughts?

[Novae]

I don't care. It's just an icon.

Like the people getting a bit upset about a job icon receiving a minor revision to remove some holes?

Hardly. Disbelief isn't equal to upset, after all.

What is interesting to me though, is the gaslighting. We've had people show up in this thread to launch personal attacks at other posters, accusing them of 'lacking empathy' for not joining the clapping and cheering of a corporation making a display of their virtue. Yet despite such bile being thrown around...some choose to try and portray the people rolling their eyes as the ones overreacting.

Because it is. The reaction to this should literally have been the meme: Oh no! Moving on....

My question is, since it was such a small number of people asking for it. Why not do a poll globally to gauge people’s reactions. Because it is something that effects everyone even if it’s small.Even reading that jp thread, there are multiple people saying, they don’t see why they should change it, they could just enable an option for players sensitive to that to toggle it.Again, its weird to me SE took action for this because they didnt want a minority of players to feel uncomfortable, but theyre fine inserting a stripping underage girl which no one bats an eye at.

This needs to go next.

So, they just announced a redesign of the Sage Icon, as seen in this post here,

Sage Icon Changes

What are peoples thoughts. I can see the reason for the change but feel they could of went with a better alternative. Like why not mimic the wing shape the make along the players back. I'm sure the new icon will grow on us, similar to how Gunbreaker's did, but what do people think?

Personally I don't think it would of triggered mine but I'm happy with the change regardless if it helps others. Also I'm glad (not glad but you get what I mean) to see I'm not the only one that has this stupid phobia as trying to explain it to others in real life just elicits confused head tilts and raised eyebrows.

This is just a quick modification I made to the Sage icon in Adobe Photoshop.

I used the same elements from the presented modified icon.

I do not like the "threading the needle" aspect of the neuliths, so I removed that part of the visual.

I copied and pasted the central lith, adjusted the positioning, and slightly rotated the liths to show my preference for the icon.

Jokes aside it ultimately isn't going to matter. It's just an icon and people won't be paying too much attention to it. If only they cared this much about balance changes to healers as a whole. Who have been asking for changes since early ShB.

I quite like it.

It's color is wrong. It ought to be red.

Finally, someone making sense.
