Kaos_KidSWTOR Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Then it would look too similar to Incendiary Round. Again, it needs a new design direction....preferably towards Ion / electricity instead of fire. Maybe, i noticed a ninja change to it's animation in 2.7, it seems to act like your pressing a detonater instead of Explosive Surges' rifle "reload" animation. how about renaming it to Ion Blast and giving it an electric touch?

Cotlu-Hunlon Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 how about renaming it to Ion Blast and giving it an electric touch? A suggestion that has been made several times already on thread, hopefully *someone* with any interest in Vanguard at Bioware looks around these parts, as far as I can tell this is one of the most inactive class forums at the moment.

Baalzamon Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Agree change the animation of Fire Pulse plz.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiltonium Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Fire Pulse is absolutely horrible when compared with it's counterpart. A lot of the animations are based on taste. For instance, IN MY OPINION Stock strike > rocket punch animation Gut >>> retractable blade animation Pulse Canon > Flame thrower animation Rail Shot >>>>>>>> HIgh Impact bolt animation with a WAAAAY cool sound. sticky grenade > sticky...rocket...thing i forgot its name animation death from above >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mortar volley missle blast > single...silly....mortar shot thingy I forgot animation carboinize > trooper....farty thingy animation However Fire Pulse is NOT a matter of taste, it is just flat out BAD and the ONLY good thing that can be said over immolate is that it doesn't make everything hard to see because it's all covered in fire. It is, however, extremely lame for a top tier ability and I can't believe this far into the game they have not changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom_VI Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Dude fire pulse is way better than immolate, fire pulse actually feels like im hitting the target instead of immolate which is like *wave arms and spew fire in the air* Edited April 30, 2014 by Zoom_VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxidenstore Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 As the guy showing the ability in the OPs video, I'd like to offer my full support to change this trainwreck of a visual. It is by far the most underwhelming and laughable ability animation in the game in my opinion. I dislike when people see something they don't like and call the devs lazy, but this ability... I'm sorry, but it feels lazily done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom_VI Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Please change the animation for Fire Pulse Bioware. Please, it lacks awesome sauce right now. lies, change immolate, I'm getting tired of flapping my arms and somehow that's a attack. Fire Pulse feels like your actually hitting something.

Immolate COVERS a target in FIRE. while Fire Pulse is just a really dark looking small explosion that you detonate on your target. which is cooler?

hallucigenocide Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 fire pulse and immolate are both pretty crappy.. fire pulse for obvious reasons and immolate looks more like a coneattack than a single target attack. none of them do what their description says really.

Immolate really does do what it says. Even seen Angels & Demons - the Da Vinci Code prequel? At the end, Ewan McGregor immolates himself in liquid wax and set himself on fire and it creates a massive fire. The difference with SWTOR is that the spraying of the fuel, the lighting and all the fuel burning up has to happen in 1.5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
