Too many flashy abilities?

[AlexNiculaie]

What exactly was wrong with the ability effects in 1.0 anyway? I am not aware there was a huge criticism about this that led to them becoming more flashy in 2.0.

What? LoL there was lots of hate towards the "blandness" of the 1.0 effects. At one point, they actually doubled the size of effects because people complained they were so small. As it is, the only effect in that video i saw which was close to being "full screen" was the Aqueous Discharge from the slugs which did take up half the screen. The lancer nor conjurer abilities came close to that statement.

Only the people who try to negate and ignore criticism.

Perhaps removing the blatant hyperbole from your criticisms would help others take them more seriously?

So they already doubled it. Problem solved, why are they doing it again.

And actually I agree about the mage effects. They are relatively insignificant compared to all the other crap going on, and will be lost in the sea of other giant flash effects. And yes the orange circle is from slimes as far as I can tell, but the visual representation of battle still needs some serious polishing and editing.

No, Alpha is all about stress testing servers, basic stuff to keep the servers and the fundament of the game stable before moving into beta which is more indepth matters like battle, animations and so forth. Wait until Beta and then post feedback.

uhh. why not tell them what I think now. what is the downside to that, at all. Even Yoshi-P tells his dev team saying "it's just an alpha" is not an excuse.

And that is the attitude the developers need to keep. That is to encourage the dev team. It doesn't mean that everything in alpha will stay until release. Of course if it is constructive you are in your full right to post your concerns. What i'm trying to say is that you hold your concerns for a little while longer until beta. This is the time they will change these matters.
