Rhalius Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 seriously, this just buggs the hell out of me. I cant see these characters. they are just flaming it seems. It doesnt even make any sense why this is happening. I'd switch them to guardian and juggernauts if such a respec is ever made possible just to get rid of those awfull effects.

swtonewbie Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) No, I actually like it. yah...they are awesome http://imageshack.us/f/37/mfuh.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/f/809/01kw.jpg/ And just for comparison i went and took some of my Marauder. http://imageshack.us/f/407/6jcf.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/f/707/7ma5.jpg/ The above pics of my Marauder is the aura right as she hits 30 stacks. But if i dont spend it and i keep doing attacks that spend rage (which is what normally makes the fury counter rise) the counter still stays at 30, but the effect gets brighter. This confirms what other posters have said about the aura. The effect of the aura actually stacks as well, it doesnt just stop at 30. if you keep gaining fury past 30 the intensity of the aura gets brighter and brighter. The sentinel pic above is actually of the aura hitting 30 and continuing past it, it didnt just stop at 30. http://imageshack.us/f/41/jh3h.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/f/812/xysu.jpg/ Edited July 21, 2013 by swtonewbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhalius Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 my mistake, thought I had posted it in the normal suggestions, I tend to visit both forums quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbount Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Not remove. But make them less "bright and shiny". Becouse if i have a marauder in a FP with me, and he have some specialization (i can't say wich one), my game become a damn slideshow. Their effect are terrible for perfomance.

Rhalius Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 That too, and it makes zero sense. why are we even seeing that weird effect? we see all kinds of crap that shouldnt be visible, yet we cant see different saber styles which actually should be visible. I'd rather have more animations added than weird light effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaxem Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 i think they look awesome but since i rather play a dps jugg than a mara i wouldn't care if they are removed but still would like them to remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have more animations added than weird light effects. I'm guessing that some people complained that the aura before the change and the buff icons were too hard to see, which i can understand. Well they changed it...and now we can see it better all right. But they went a bit overboard with the new effects. When the new effects cause people to have framerate issues or it just obscures their character or even blots them out (sentinel aura) the solution isnt "lolz get a new pc noob" or "lolz deal with it lolz". I was leveling my sentinel last night and if i positioned the aura so that it is on top of Kira, it blocks her out completely. It wasnt just zoom in and ohh wait i can see her outline. No...the white aura is just opaque, you cannot see through it. "lolz dont cover up kira with the aura then dummy lolz" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirazy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I thought it was a bug, because the initial instance of the aura is pretty tame and looks fine. But every single skill use after that first one that clears the 30 stack threshold causes the aura to stack on itself, and it gets intensely bright, saturation goes crazy and it just looks horrible.

AsheraII Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Auras look silly and totally not star-warsy. Stupid designers keep forgetting that this is supposed to be a Star Wars game, NOT World of Warcraft or some other 12 in a dozen fantasy-themed MMO.

Rhalius Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 They do at times seem to think it is dragonball Z. Sages can do a kamehameha wave even.

I don't know Dragonball Z but when I first saw these ridiculous auras, I thought it was the horribly deformed baby of Champions Online's Dark Aura (which I love in that game but it fits the setting) and LOTRO's War-Speech (which I always thought the glowing hands was stupid). I just don't understand why my Marauder/Sentinel have to look like they're on fire now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhalius Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Seems to be a common game thing, adding weird flashy effects that make no sense to conceal how limited the animations are. Kind of a cheap way to go around making new animations to show whats going on. The flashy effects are easy to make after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhalius Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Only have a low level sentinel and a higher level marauder. thinking about removing the sentinel and just replacing it with another guardian. Havent leveled my marauder much at all in a long time, think the aura wasnt as bad at first but got worse through patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerinbjk Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I totally agree: way too much aura. I hate it. There should be a setting in graphics to suppress them- to make everybody happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofakingzoe Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 U MAD BRO? What they were thinking with these all the new effects? A cheap way to impress the kiddies and keep them subscribed? I can't imagine anyone over 13 seriously liking this new amalgam of senseless flashing and glowing primary colours (red = sith, blue = jedi ,hurrr so clever amirite??) The pinnacle of terribleness shows if you're a marauder in carnage. Every single thing you do makes you red. Cut this crap out PLEASE, or tone it down some.

Delta_V Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 +1 It's not quite as bad during boss fights, since you tend to use zen/transcendence/inspiration as soon as you hit 30 stacks. But when you're clearing trash, where enemies don't have enough health to justify using Zen, the stupid aura keeps getting brighter and brighter until you can hardly see your character. Sometimes it gets so annoying I'll just manually remove my centering stacks to get rid of the aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is supposed to be an on screen way to tell when you can use certain abilities. It might need some work, but they need to continue to pursue this instead of making us stare at buttons to know when a proc comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhalius Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 The icon above your health bar says enough, they could also try updating the animations sometimes so that less flashy effects are needed to compensate for the lack of them. At least they should greatly reduce this aura or use a completely different effect.. perhaps more of a circle around them on the ground that glows brighter as the amount of stacks go up. I'd still not like having such effects, but at least I can actually see my character then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlasmaJohn Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Or... y'know, you could hit Zen and eat those stacks. Which you should be doing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
