All Things Art - FX Edition

I would like for the Hasten FX to be customizable, or to just plain go away.

Now for some ideas.

I like the Aura that is attached to the Ascension Radiant set, and the Victorian aura. Some full body (or various body part) energy armor in that style would be awesome. Something that is pure energy, that glows, and is somewhat transparent.

Auras on weapons would be so awesome. It is something that has been requested for a long long time.

Mostly I just want the Hasten thing.

I like the how the Victorian Aura is so close to the surface, but not big on the aura's look itself, however another kind of surface aura--*that* I can get into.
Combine the Rune aura with the surface look of the Victorian, and you've got a thing of beauty. Also, perhaps a few different kind of runes.

Instead of reading through 32 pages of suggestions looking for my subject, I thought I would go ahead and suggest it. If this is already mentioned, okay. If not, here you go.

I would really like to see the FX choice selection for dark powers as the Galaxy, Warshades, Void Hunters, and Void Hunter Guns, and other Nictus powers use for effect. In trying to come up with something similar in the color tenting, it fails miserably. A selection named, "Nictus Tinting/Effect" for all dark powers, in my opinion, would make these powers visually appealing. Thanks.

On the similar idea, a Void Hunter costume for players would be a great addition allowing players to incorporate into their character’s make up.

- Kheldian auras for Kheldians (like Sunstorm, Moonfire, Shadowstar)
- Fix female eye auras. They are a bit low, currently they look more like cheek auras.

Hey there, Honey Badger.

I mentioned this to Tunnel Rat awhile back but she may've forgotten...but I suggested an idea for a costume change emote based on Time Manipulation. Just mention that I'm a Doctor Who fan and it might twig. Just thought I'd raise the idea again.



S.

Probably not economically feasible in the short term, but my number two request would be alternate particle effects for energy melee and energy aura ... specifically, I want the ones that the Praetorian PD use for those powersets.

My number one request: an alternate animation for Bane Spiders' Build Up power that uses the gun instead of the mace, so that character doesn't have to do a redraw every time I hit build up.

I'd love an aura that used hermetic circles. (See: Summoning effects for Demon Summoning MMs, or Full Metal Alchemist.)

Having them flicker in and out around the body in a fashion similar to the Victorian aura would be great. Having them appear around the hands (like the "halo" effect you can get by recoloring Energy Melee) or a large one on the floor at the character's feet would make for a great combat mode aura.

Repeat most of the above for a circuitry design, too.

First off, Welcome Honey Badger! (badger badger badger... DAMMIT.. headsdesk!)

How feasible is it to have a flickering... Victorian Aura Style aura that looks like glowing bones?

As in your bones glowing through your skin in places... different parts of your body?

Welcome, Honey Badger! Great to see you posting!

Here are my suggestions, for whatever they are worth:

-LOVE to see a "no FX" option for powers, including (yeah, I know) pool powers. Have not seen my boots or my gloves in years on some toons. *sad* Also would like to see the glowie that's right underneath me...somewhere...I'm SURE of it...it was just here a moment ago... when I'm hovering on my dark defender, as just an example. Love FX, but not when I can't play the game properly because of it.

-There are a number of old (and some new) costume pieces which could use a pattern, or a texture, but can't use one (or look like paint's simply been applied to the item, like patterns on leather) for a variety of reasons.
Is it possible to add a subtle pattern effect to make some of these costume items look a little more fresh, or a little less painted?

Thanks for your time. Glad we finally got to meet you!

You know that power from GR, Shadowy Presence? I would love that effect as an aura without the associated power effects (and fade/recharge).

I will voice my wish to see a choice to have no power effects on Hasten/Superspeed.

And a repeat request for an "inner"eye glow as seen on the organic armor face. One of the supernatural faces tries to have it, but it's not the same.

I don't have any suggestions to make at this time, but welcome to the forums, Honey Badger!

Welcome, Honey Badger! As someone who has had a few nicknames I did not entirely care for (though my favorite unintentional one is still "Big Fricking Swede"), I can feel for your plight.

Let me put out a request for new FX/animation for the Kheldian shapeshift. Arbiter Hawk wanted to shorten this back in I21, but it looked weird when it was shortened. It was apparently put on the list of things to work on the future and still needs doing.

Making this improvement would be a HUGE help in how well Kheldians perform, and Kheldian players all over would love it if you and Tunnel Rat or whoever could do this sooner rather than later. We've been wanting a faster form change for years, not just since I21! Seriously, I will make a thread dedicated to your awesomeness in the Kheldian forums if you can do this.

Some of y'all outta get paid for your textures, or at least get a heavy in game reward or extra game time for it. These are remarkable.

Can we have the Malaise texture back? If only for a limited time?

Thanks for the warm welcome. Already I’m seeing several new ideas that sound intriguing! I have a few things I’d like to mention in no particular order:

-I have been following this thread from beyond its inception. No need to re-post your previous requests to Tunnel Rat, I assure you I’ve seen it! **COUGH** power pool customization **COUGH**!

-There is a definite distinction between auras and costume pieces. So something like glowing bones is a neat idea, but if we were to do it with fx, it would end up looking like the Donnie Darko skeleton t-shirt print. I’d recommend passing that over to a character art thread combined with a reference image(s). Same goes for inner eye glows, glowing costume pieces, costume textures, and chest decals. These are not part of the FX pipeline, they are for Character Artists.

-Lord_Kalistoh: Female Eye auras, which ones are offset wrong? Please elaborate, there are many.

-Alternate FX for legacy powers: we’re looking into this. Trust me, we’d love to do this too!

Mr. Badger: Is there any chance some of the old Legacy auras could be tweaked? The best thing I can think of to mention that will sum the issue up: For all legacy auras (fiery, electricity, gaseous, smoky, etc.), the color red is actually pink. It feels like the alpha channels on those textures could be changed to better reflect the actual colors. I know that Bio Plasma and Omega can be made red, but not Fiery?

I'm afraid to ask anything else because Honey Badger sometimes don't give a ****.
