Explaining the Battle Animation and Effect Shortcomings [+ Discussion]

[Teknoman]

Yeah, the poison spell in XI had a great sizzle sound effect, and actually lingered for a few seconds. I know the spell impact effects have to be pretty fast, since it's an MMO and no one wants a battle system to be too slow do to visual effects, but there is a fine line between the two.

I've got a feeling we'll see a letter sometime this week, and hoping a patch to go along with it, since we're about half-way through April.

[Betelgeuzah]

The letters tend to come every two weeks, yes.

This doesn't need a [dev] tag does it?

[Teknoman]

Its got the dev tag in the "Tags for this thread" section, so I guess that'll work.

[Soukyuu]

Yes, you don't need the [dev xxxx] in the thread title, the devtag in the thread tags is all you need.
