Dear ArenaNet,

It’s good to hear positive criticism from time to time. It helps keep you motivated and enthusiastic about your jobs. However, please note that negative criticism is what you really should pay attention to. It is in reading and accepting the negative criticism that can help you make your game better. So after reading this very nice OP, please go through all the negative threads to see what you may be doing wrong.

P.S. Don’t forget the WvW forum.

The thing that put me off the most is the purple glow at night. I wish it was dark blue.. idk but definetely not purple…

As for the trail – simple solution is to use it on the day version and keep the stars on the night one.
Tbh I’m not really hopeful we’ll see any more changes…it’s a punishment for not picking a mainstream weapon like Twilight…

Are you kidding me? Bifrost just got an update to it’s foosteps. You need to raise your graphics level or something, cause they’re pretty bright.

You’re simply parroting what the patch notes said, but those of us with the Bifrost can see that the footfalls have not changed.

As for mentioning that I need to raise my graphics levels, since you evidently did not read the first post, here’s a screenshot just for you:

It’s a 2 handed weapon obviously, and could use some footfalls. Check out my pic for comparison of my Bifrost alongside Frostfang (these are taken with maxed graphics/settings, yesterday evening). OK OK, I’m being a little facetious. Obviously Bifrost does have footfalls, but they’re very very light and generally difficult to see (hence my uploaded pic for comparison).

I noticed with the new patch that The Dreamer received a footfall that is actually 3 different footfalls wrapped into one: The regular Bifrost footfall + rainbow lucky horseshoe prints + clear mini rainbows. The result is a brilliantly colored footfall that pops into vision immediately, and is quite stunning.

The bifrost’s footfall is in need of an overhaul.

Annelotte,

I don’t mind the ADDITIONS, and don’t even mind the purple.

But are you seriously telling me you like the fact the have REMOVED the sheathed glow and trail? You are in favour of them removing effects?

This is exactly why I made a more moderate version of the thread.

I understand not everyone HATES the purple and Lightning as I do.

But every single person with Meteorlogicus should want back the sheathed glow and the trail.

Here is my sincere attempt to be constructive.

Not many people are 100% satisfied by the new Meteorlogicus. Here are some suggestions on how to make more people happy:


Awesome Job On Some Of The Changes:

-New textures look amazing

-New daytime glow looks amazing

-Day/night cycle is a cool idea

Fixes Everyone Can Agree Upon:

-The blue/purple trail should not have been removed. This trail looked amazing and needs to come right back.

-When sheathed during daytime, Meteorlogicus no longer glows, which looks atrocious. Return Meteorlogicus to full effects when sheathed. The weapon just looks like a bunch of random bits of empty metal when sheathed now, whereas before it was a beautiful, glowy scepter with a purple/blue trail. The fact that it glows when sheathed at night suggests this is just a bug.

Fixes Only Some People Want:

-About 50% of players seem to hate the new footfalls.
I think the biggest issue is that the clouds take a little too long to form, and that since the lightning is off the ground, unlike other footsteps, it is visually disorienting to have right in your face. Perhaps the clouds should appear at the same time or before the Lightning.
The black clouds also make little sense during daytime— perhaps these footsteps should only appear at night, with white clouds with no lightning during the day.

-Most players dislike Meteorlogicus turning purple at night. I am one of them.


At this point, I think Anet should do right by the community and split Meteorlogicus into two different skins via Mystic Forge Recipe.

Dark Meteorlogicus:
Current Meteorlogicus, but with all of the above changes.

Light Meteorlogicus
Removed footsteps. Removed day/night cycle. Remains blue and sunny at all times. True to the original Meteorlogicus. A perfect version of the serene, tranquil weapon that many of us worked months towards.

This would make everyone happy while giving Meteorlogicus a special, unique customization that makes it LEGENDARY for all players.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Changing a weapon’s color, particularly an expensive Legendary’s, was an unprecedented move that has made a lot of people upset. It sets the dangerous standard that Anet can do anything they want to change an item that you worked hard for. This would be a good faith move that would make all current and future Meteorlogicus users happy.

I like the change, don’t make it blue at night please. You simply aren’t going to please everyone

No… the change isn’t good whatsoever (aside from bad footsteps)

Pros
-Nice colours on the glows (until it turns night)
-Footsteps (but they’re pretty bad)
-You at least bothered to make a night cycle… kinda

Cons

-Footsteps are lame
-Glow is a bit translucent
-Sheathed weapon looks stupid
-YOU REMOVED THE TRAIL

Night mode sub cons

-Ugly
-Purple
-Not really Night themed
-No miniature stars (No not the clean shines)
-You can use a darker shade of blue for night, it really is that easy.
-No Seriously, use a darker shade of blue.

How you can ABSOLUTELY FIX METEORLOGICUS SO IT MAKES EVERYONE HAPPY:

Day:
-Add trails
-Make the blue glow a little less transulcent
-BRING BACK THE TRAIL’S (I don’t think you understand how sad it is to see this go.)
-Add more cloud effects on the footsteps, the lightning looks weird until the clouds come along but that is usually later
-Make it glow and trail when sheathed, I don’t like looking at meteorlogicus in it’s raw form

Night:
-Darker, blackish blue (BLUE, NOT PURPLE)
-Make the crystallized cloud black, the weapon looks like a mess when night hits and one part is white and the other is black..
-Unique dark blue trail that comes off the weapon

Let’s get our priorities straight first. Your legendary actually ticks all of the standard legendary effects commonly found on these weapons apart from their usually pretty skin. These are: Footfalls, an aura and weapon/kill effects. Your ‘aura’ seems to have been replaced by the effect on your arm.

While most legendaries have these ‘attributes’ some don’t. These are The Flameseeker Prophecies and The Minstrel. So let’s first update these legendaries before we even touch yours again!

Still I feel bad for the ones not happy about the change. The OP suggested a choice of looks for Meteorlogicus. If they give us one, I don’t believe it should be as the OP stated it should either be the old one or the new and then you are stuck with what you choose.

Your logic hurts my brain. I want them to make meteorlogicus better. I don’t want them to make it worse but give them gimmicks. It should only be improvement and not lazy editing. No matter what ANYONE says, the design on night time was pure laziness.

You can have your opinion and that is fine. But not all of us agree with you. Your opinion of ‘making meteorlogicus better’ isn’t everyone’s. It is just what you want to see or what you think is bad that makes you think that it ‘needs’ to be better.

I like the new version of the weapon. I don’t care for the footfalls, but the effects, coloring and everything else I think are great. And yes I had the weapon before the switch.

ANet did what they thought made the weapon look better and that is what they gave us. I get that some liked it as it was before. You saying they are making it worse by giving us gimmicks is purely your opinion. It is obvious that others share that opinion, but many do not.

My suggestion was just that, a suggestion. If ANet asked 100 of us what we thought the perfect look and effect for Meteorlogicus would be, they would get 100 different answers. They cannot please everyone. So they did what they thought was good.

So if my logic hurts your brain, that is a two way street. Your selfish logic makes me want to hurl.

a) I have not heard anyone say they DON’T want the trail returned.

b) Not glowing when sheathed during daytime is clearly a bug.

c) These footsteps clearly are kinda crappy.

d.) Sure, the rest is opinion.

However, a lot of us invested MONTHS OF OUR TIME making a Legendary weapon because it LOOKED A CERTAIN WAY. They changed the way it looks after we had already made it. That is why it is not fair.

I’m not saying ANYWHERE that they should take away your weapon. I’m saying they should give those of us who want it the OPTION to look more like the original Meteorlogicus.

And the thing that bothers me the most is on that picture.
I hate the purple but come on. If you gonna do something at least do it completely. It’s like I gave a kid to color an outline…no consistency, no sense of color matching.
Not everyone enjoys having a rainbow vomit on their weapon. There’s Bifrost for that.

Meteorlogicus DONT NEED fix is perfect..

Daamn! that Cryers -.-

Do you have a Meteorlogicus?

If in the incredibly unlikely chance you say yes, are you okay with it having no glow sheathed? It looks like a banana peel with no banana.

And EVERYONE loved the tail it used to have.

yes i have and looks awesome (for me) dont need fix if you dont like they become another legendary ^ ^

sorry for my bad english

Yeah it ONLY looks good on you because of your purple colour scheme. (which is nice I have to say) But i’d say over 3/4 of people with meteorlogicus think the changes at night (and the trail) are tacky, last minute, lazily done and a slap in the face for people that loved the design.

-Footsteps are pathetically low in quality in comparison to others, It looks like a backed up lightning effect you saved in your folders and waited to use for something. You could keep the lightning and cloud footstep idea and STILL make it look better than this garbage. The only reason I like it in comparison to it’s predecessor is because it’s predecessor never had any in the kitten ed first place

-Removed a trail in replacement of some shine effects.

-The Night glow is a tangy, ugly purple mist that just does not go into conjunction with the orrery beneath it. Make it a dark blue to represent the night sky and still keep colour scheme people worked hard to get… This will actually make it look good with those shiny star effect you added recently

-The night alterations in general are lazy, last minute and ugly because.
1. The black animated clouds are ontop of the crystallized cloud which IS WHITE? wuhhh? make both black! Its so off putting seeing a mix of colours that aren’t meant for each other.

2. The lightning could have been A LOT smoothly animated.

3. Clouds usually light up when brushed against lightning streaks. Like so. http://www.eo.ucar.edu/kids/dangerwx/images/clouds%20looming2.jpeg

If twilight had similar problems they would have 5 teams working on how to make it right…

Still I feel bad for the ones not happy about the change. The OP suggested a choice of looks for Meteorlogicus. If they give us one, I don’t believe it should be as the OP stated it should either be the old one or the new and then you are stuck with what you choose.

What’s annoying is it doesn’t glow while stowed in the daytime, but for some reason it does at night. The thing I miss most though is the trail.. it was such a nice effect and one of my favourite things about it. A couple of times I’ve had some bug where the old and new versions merge with each other and I get the trail back, but it soon disappears. I’m still hoping its disappearance is a bug.

At the very least anet, please give us back the trail. Please

I’m fairly certain this is a bug. When you first load up the game, the trail is there, but once you stow your weapons again after you first use it, it disappears. Please fix this, anet. :’(

Edit: Never mind, I guess that was a bug itself.. after starting the game up again the trail is nowhere to be seen…

Having these weapons put into the game when almost nobody asked or wanted these is just such a bad idea it’s not even funny, the only players that this is geared towards is the people that ONLY do the very high level fractals, so let’s just say 40+ fractal levels, apart from that…they’re absolutely pointless and not needed in the slightest.

Completely personal opinion and don’t act like you know what the player base wants, especially since we all knew all ascended pieces would eventually be introduced, if this really bothered you, you would have quit when the initial ascended gear came into the game months ago.

You can’t speak for everyone and say no one wants purple at night. The reason you think this is cause so many people that write about the changes, are people complaining. People who are happy just go ahead and enjoy their more noticeable weapon.

I adored the meteorlogicus, hence why i’m so close to obtaining mine(i am a necro). I desperately wanted it to be more noticeable and on par with others, and we have this. It may not be entirely to my taste, but hey how and why would an artist across the ocean designing a weapon for sooooo many people, gonna suit me completely. It aint gonna happen ;p

Most people i know who have it, love the changes. Only 1 dislikes.

SKIN for SKILLS

Orpheal.8263

I’d like this also too .. but for a more serious stuff.

Examples:

Flames of Death
Changes the Color Model of fire related Skills into Blue.
So a Fireball changes from Red into Blue for example.

Flames of Purgatory
Changes the Color Model of fire related Skills into Green.
So a Fireball changes from Red into Green for example

That would be one kind of skill animation change.

but on the other hand I’d also like to see Skill Animation Upgrades, that make a Skill look MIGHTIER and more epic, than normal.

Example:

Grandmaster of Fire
The Effects of fire ralted Skills are increased.
A Fireball will be now of double the size and the animation will fly faster with an flame explosion effect at hitting the enemy and also producing a smoke trail while flying together with other sound effects that sound more dangerous..

Would be nice to have extra for this under the hero panal like for Finishes a Sub Menu, where you could activate/deactivate tons of such skill skin modifiers to make them look as you wish.

However, every player would receive under his/her personal option menu the ability to activate/deactivate skill skin modifiers of other players, if you have just a weaker pc system only to ensure, that these peopel have no problems due from the new visual effects ect….

Personally I like the idea behind sub classes ~ quoted from Chris Whiteside

I would suggest that if possible ArenaNet PvE mode in a future XP put new animations in the skill that we already have.

Just as we try to find new skins for weapons and armor we could find new animations for our skills.

This does not necessarily imply a change in the balancing rules, but only cosmetic.

Flameseeker Prophecies Updated Graphics

in Crafting

Posted by: Criminon.8432

Criminon.8432

Good news to everyone that worked through all of the hardships of obtaining a legendary, and chose Flameseeker Prophecies!

Good things are ahead! Just kidding.

Unfortunately after watching the live stream with Linsey Murdock I regretfully must inform all current owners that it is one of the only ones not receiving particle effects, footfalls, glows, auras, or anything of the sort.

We are stuck with a shield that only does anything when we have it equipped. While others get to enjoy having legendaries.

Now some of you may say “Well I wanted a legendary and personally I’m happy they didn’t add anything! I like having one without all of the fancy glows and auras!”

Well, then you shouldn’t have a legendary if you don’t want to show it off. I equipped my legendary shield after I heard they were doing upgrades to the legendaries. Now, I know I was in the wrong for expecting something and it not happening. At the same time, when you think about what legendaries needed upgrades, I would say focus, shield, warhorn, etc.

It’s sad that she literally said “Flameseeker is one of them that we thought was good as is” When yes, it does look good while it’s out. But why on earth did ones that are already flashy get appearance upgrades, when ones like flameseeker who’s only recognition is when it is pulled out not get love?

It just makes me sad, and it makes me question this year I have been playing. The amount of time and the amount of effort I have pooled into this game seems to be overshadowed with a complete lack of understanding for what I want as a player.

Any while I may not speak for the majority of the playerbase, I feel it is a general understanding that legendaries should be “LEGENDARY” They should have crazy glows, effects, and different things that set them apart from other weapons. If I wanted a glowing shield, I could have easily got many of the other ones that glow. But I wanted more, and I had faith in Arena net to cater to my needs as a player, and I was let down.

After a year of playing, and after a lot of hard work that went into obtaining this legendary, I’m probably going to quit playing. As are most things I do, I see this as a statement more than I do a “I want to quit” type of action. I would rather quit, and never give another penny to them than sit and be comfortable with the feelings this recent update has given me. And I hope other flameseeker owners stand up as well if you feel this was a hard hitting blow.

While this IS a video game and while this has NO real impact on my life, the time spent and the emotions given while playing the game are real, so it goes without saying that this is going to affect me regardless.

I really hope everyone with a flameseeker lets Arena net know that there needs to be a change to Flameseeker, and it needs to be done quickly. Thanks for reading, and take care.

Look at when she runs, the weapon no longer does the effect when you swing it or move it. What the hell? Why has the change been implemented.

Im happy to look past the:

-Lack of an aura
-A Night cycle which doesn’t really do much but make it purple and more stormy clouds (which you didn’t even bother to make black, I would like the idea of a night cycle if the thing it turned into actually looked good)
-Recycled footsteps and nothing imaginative.
-The shine being WAAAAYYY to over powering that I can’t see the details of the weapon WHICH WILL SUCK when it turns to an ugly violet colour that has nothing to do with night.

But getting rid of the effect when you move the weapon? Why are you doing this, there is no reason whatsoever. With the improved glow and the improved sun I thought this was going to make the moving effect of the flowing glow 10x better. But you straight up removed it?

Edit

As predicted you removed the trail, its gone and to be honest I would swap it any day for those crappy footsteps we good.

SERIOUSLY these footsteps really suck. They’re like little lightning worms coming out the ground with the black clouds coming in way to late to make it look good.

I thought the glow was suppose to improve not be more dim, I can hardly see the blue anymore.

How do you do an update and make the weapon itself worse. Granted the features are cool but the outcomes flat out suck.

Devs, are you discussing this?

Ofcourse they aren’t, transmutation crystals are probably one of the best selling items in the gemstore

Having a wardrobe or cosmetic slot system doesn’t necessarily have to remove the existence of transmutation stones. One very simple way to keep transmutation stones in play is to just make it so that turning an item into a skin in the first place cost you a trans stone. They can also make money directly by selling cosmetic outfit slots and/or space in a cosmetic wardrobe.
