dev1037 New Battle Effects

[Poipori]

Are you fucking kidding me? Se you honestly think an increase in size will make IT ALL SUPER AWESOME?

The Duration Sucks
The Effect Sucks
The Animation Sucks

Making Flare a little big bigger doesn't make it feel impressive.

Such a let down.

Yeah!

look at 0:50, that should be our FLARE T.T

Abriael you have almost no idea what you're talking about lol All i'll say is other games (mmo) can do it.

"other MMO" have a TON less detail and effects in every other area of the game. Characters, environments, equipment and so forth.

Most MMORPG out there don't even include normal mapping, mind you.

You're thinking of the wrong ones, I'm talking about next gen ones.

Also: Exciting Graphics > Normal Mapping.

It sure has the most pleasing overall visuals of this generation of MMORPGs (and the next, considering what people define "next generation").

Your making an argument were there is no argument.Im done talking to you and your game developer logic.

This size increase is disappointing. If you cant see that you are blind.
Dont bother posting to me you are on my ignore list

"i'm right and if you disagree with me you're wrong, and I'm going to ignore you because i can't counter your arguments".

Ahem...

As everyone may have easily noticed, there are numerous people that are pleased by the increase of the size of effects (while I doubt anyone consider it a final solution to all the problems of the game). Are they all "blind"? For some reason I don't think so.

[Merovingian]

Ok so the players are complaining about boring effects and their answer is just to make the effects bigger. lol. Fail.

[Aramil]

I don't mind that they are resizing the effect neither would have i mind if they wouldn't do it but i wish they would have post a comment about it.

Right now we don't know what motivate them to do it and if that's all they are planning regarding the animation. Is this a quick fix? All they intended to change for the animation? A placeholder for further changes when they have more time? The first part of future changes? Just an idea they had and decided to implement?

There's a wide range of intention that could explain that addition however since we don't know what the intention is, we can only make supposition.

I mean personally i think the best would be if they intend to improve the animations and that scaling them up was only the first step for that. To that my reaction would be positive.

But the worse for me would be if they agree that the animation need to be "fix" and this is their idea of "fixing" the animations...
