Fox Form and True Form

Ok, First off I'm just going to say that if it's been brought up before, I'm sincerely sorry. I just don't have the time to go through hundreds of threads looking for what I want to know.



And next, My idea.

Well, for anyone who's already played an Untamed class, as well as most people who probably haven't, we all know about Fox Form/True Form. While these skills are cool (shape shifting... c'mon... its always cool) and they have their uses, they don't seem to change with level.

This is where my suggestion comes up. As we all know, Fox Form and True form have a total of 4 levels (1,2,3 and then either Sage or Demon) which only change in bonuses, and not in look. What I think suggest is that the sprite (I have no idea how else to refer to it) changes between all these levels, showing a progression of strength in between levels (and also a bit to show off a higher and probably more experienced level).

My thoughts of it:
Fox Form: (note that when I say glow, I'm referring to the color it is now)

Level 1 Fox Form could be a baby fox (half the size of what it is now), one tail, no glow on the paws.
Level 2 Fox Form could be a child fox (3/4 the size of what it is now), 3 tails, very dull glow (barely seen except in dark where almost seen) on the paws.
Level 3 Fox Form could be a near adult fox (around as big as it is now), 6 tails, and a semi-dull glow (you can see it, you notice it, nothing much)
'Level 4' Fox Form could be an adult fox (5/4 of what it is now), 9 tails, and a glow is very bright and leaves a trail when moving. If 'Sage' was picked, the glow could be say, white or green. If 'Demon' was picked it could be red or black (or something).

True Form:(Note: Never playing a barbarian before, nor noticing much about True Form in terms of looks I'll just be guessing to the best of my knowledge. Also, follows a similar path as Fox Form, but changed since multiple tails on a Tiger is kinda weird)

Level 1 True Form could be a baby tiger (1/2 what it is now, same ratio as before). Innocent and Frail Look. (whimpers and hides when idle. Looks sorta cute) No glow on the paws or eyes. (<--if there isn't a glow on the eyes on the current True Form there darn well should be)
Level 2 True Form could be a child tiger (3/4 now). Innocent and Brave Look.
(No longer whimpers and hides but stands up as if ready to take on anything. Still looks cute). Very dull glow in both the eyes and paws. (same intensity as Fox Form of same level))
Level 3 True Form could be a near adult tiger. (current size). Fierce and Brave Look. (Same as before. No longer looks cute, but somewhat scary. Generally looks like its trying to assert dominance) Semi-dull glow in eyes and paws. (Same intensity as Fox Form of same level)
Level 4 True form could be an adult tiger. (5/4 now). Same look as before, but slightly bigger. The Glow is (like Fox Form) very bright and leaves a trail while moving (still both eyes and paws). A 'Sage' glow might be white or green, and a 'Demon' glow would be red or black.



And there's my idea. This idea was mostly inspired by the fact that you usually turn to the people with the cool looking armor for help. Skills should be no different, since a level 9 veno in Fox Form and a Level 79 veno in Fox Form couldn't be told apart by sight alone.

    I approve of this idea and want to be able to emote a bit more as my Kitsune form as well.

    i'd like venos/barbs to transform a bit more diversely though. a wolf barb should have a wolf form. a cat veno should be cat form. no need to change skills.
    cant seem to imagine a deer form tho...
