    I think if the old style wasn't broken they would not be fixing it..i like the way its changing and it might not mean super-ohgod-duper-mega-flashly skills will get bigger and more flashly as lvls go up but maybe add the feel of power to the attack rather then...poof damage out

    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.

    I think SE wanted to add more life to the effects, which in turn made them more flashy, you can't remake something perfect the first time and I think it will get better in time

    Just gonna drop some of these not-so-flashy abilities that we find in 1.0. You might wanna put yours on too.







    Wish I had shades for this one.

    In 2.0 the abilities occur with far more frequency. I've said this about a 10 times and it clearly has an effect on the visual representation of battle. Simple math. Watch, if they cut down the global cooldown from 3 seconds to 1.5 or so like some people are asking for the cluster****ery will be about twice as bad. Do you really not think this warrants some attention, or should abilities keep that amount of flash despite occurring far more often?

    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.
