I dubbed it, “Fartshroud”. I think if they removed the gassy part of it, it would be fine. In fact, other players in Beastmode don’t seem to show the gas part to me and it looks good like that.
That fart cloud makes me feel like I should be an undead ready to explode. I think it could really do without the gassy effect and leave the swirls and leaves.
Everything else seems nice.
I don’t think that’s correct, Aurora Peach’s video shows her using a regular sword and not the lightsaber shown in the PoF trailer.
You can use the sword, but look at the traits. The whole line is wasted outside of Photon Forge form. So if you want to use the sword and not the form, well doubt it could be done effectively cause you waste an entire line, and while in form it changes you to be candy coated with holographic weapons.
I am.
I came back and started tentatively playing my engineer again with the hopes of using a sword.
But the reality is, this isn’t even really a sword spec. It’s a “form/shroud/stance” spec. All traits are dependent on using Photon Forge form, which half the skills are replaced by “photon” weapons other than a sword and the sword in the from uses a separate skin than your actual weapon.
The last part is mostly a cosmetic thing, but considering the amount of money people spend on skins in this game, you can’t really say it isn’t an issue.
So, now I wait to see the details on the Ranger elite, to see if that actually seems like something I would like. Otherwise, the expansion is a no starter for me as my main interest is mechanics not more land that will always be essentially the same as all MMOs.
I like how they give us a spec that allows us to use a sword, but all traits are focused on using a form that invalidates that they gave us a sword.
Looks like 100% of the traits are reliant on using Photon Forge, so no variety. I liked that I could use the scrapper line and not be reliant on 1 skill/kit. This one, I have to use Photon Forge otherwise, none of those traits matter.
Personally disappointed about that. Was hoping to be able to use a sword without having to look candy coated with other weapon graphics as skills.
Same, keep getting screwed out of events. I disconnected less back in 2001 playing DAoC on a dial up modem.
