Dev1037 Enhancement of Battle Effects

[Abriael]

Scrapping things and making new ones isn't necessarily a good solution. Increasing the size of mobs definitely made combat more enjoyable for me, so I don't see why increasing the size of spell effects couldn't have the same effect.

There are way more important things to work on than putting the FX designers of the game to work on completely remaking the spell effects.

I'm starting to see a BAD trend in the playerbase (actually, I'm not starting, it's been there all along):
"i'm not entirely satisfied with this element of the game... SCRAP IT!!! Remake it from scratch!"

+1 for what Arc said.
+1 for bigger spell effects.

If they need the time and resource for other things then don't change it yet. I'm ok with a message that state will be fixing battle animations after we release XYZ. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. I don't need nor want quick fixes. I am ok with waiting for SE to take care of the more important stuff first and then hitting the quests, mobs, and spells when that is all said and done. I am not all about scrapping certain aspects of the game, not sure where you got that from, I just want things done correctly the first time not a fix, then a fix to the fix, and more fixes later. Look at the current side quest system. Do things right the first time and you won't have to constantly waste even more time and resources on the fixes.

Give us some substantial information and stop pussy-footing around with your minute playerbase!!

+3 for the bold and honest statement. My thoughts exactly

Sorry, but "everything right now or nothing" is not exactly how game development works.

Quite obviously others are appreciating them. You can't demand a MMORPG developer to act only on what you need or want. If a quick fix improves the quality of the game then it's undeniably is better than nothing. That's all there's to it.

I enjoyed the current side quests. They sure gave me some interesting lore snippets and quite a few of them have interesting stories. They definitely gave me something to do while I wait for better ones, while laying the back end groundwork (UI, icons, mechanics and all) for them.
Something > Nothing. Again, this is an undeniable fact.
