Title: Coming Soon: Spell VFX Changes
Post by: Bad_Bud on April 13, 2009, 10:23:35 PM
Next server update there will be changes to several spells in regards to their visual effects to make them more DND 3.5 compliant.  That is to say, less "Christmas Tree" flashy (for no apparent reason other than being flashy because this is a video game).

We've only changed a small number of spells so far, but we'd like to know what you think of the new effects (and/or lack of).  The following is a list of the spells that will be changed in this initial trial phase:


So pay attention to these spells come next update.   8)

After way too long, the following spells have reduced/modified visual effects:

Spells


Spell-like Abilities


Note: Apparently spells that apply a stun effect will always have dots dancing around the affected character's head.  I don't think there's any way to remove it.
And none of the visual cues of the confusion effect were removed, because it would likely cause a lot of fuss if one player attacked another player due to confusion without setting to hostile (it would look like a normal attack, couldn't be proven).
