Old Class Skill Animations

gush was updated once. it used to be small water eruption no matter the size of target. now it can be enormous depending on target.

some crazy ideas:


Since we have the water dragon, make mountains seize be a giant turtle droped on enemy's head.


BT ... well, could be the phoenix, but we have will of the phoenix already... so how about a flaming meteor.

dragons breath actually looking like a flame element skill? maybe columns of fire raising from ground instead of lightining all over, making it look like a metal element skill

Embestorm look like ure a.. hmm.. nevermind... i had one idea but that might look like a terrorist act...

personally i think they need to scale back (or provide an option to do so) the new skill animations for Tideborns, specifically the psychics. I'm not entirely sure what it is about them that is different, but I've had times where one of their AoE skills would cause my Frame Rate to become about 1 for a couple seconds. If I were playing the game on a minimum spec machine, i don't think I would actually be able to play as a psychic at all. considering that, if the "old" skill animations were made like the "new" ones - probably a lot of people would experience graphical lag that was previously a non-issue.

I'm thinking they especially need to update the veno skills. I mean, all of our skills basically look the same, except for Parasitic Nova.

b:thanks Even some minor added effects to the scarab skills would be appreciated. For example, you could have some flame effect to enhance the red Blazing Scarab and maybe something similar, but less, to the Noxious Gas effect for our much used Venomous Scarab. I must say though, I really love the Parasitic Nova effect.b:victory

Our Celestial Eruption (triple spark) animation is kinda "simple" and lame imo. b:sad

I completely agree with the comments regarding the Meditation Sphere as well when compared to the Tideborn but, I don't really mind our little bubble of happiness for the most part. b:pleased

FoxForm Skill effects are just fine imo. I'm sure there isn't much QQ about those considering not a lot of Venos out there that utilize that option anyhow. Btw....I love my FoxForm skills even though I'm Arcane.

Other than that, I love the animation and effects that Perfect World has.

I do like that people cant tell which thunderous skill we're about to use- however from the cast time you could tell between Tempest vs Weild of Thunderball.

I don't really have a complaint on the cleric side but Veno's I can only really tell what they're using because of the circle under their feet, it looks that similar rofl.

Stand in awe of my bubbles!:O

I agree. Venos need better animations the most. However, as someone pointed out, we should have different meditation animations for every race. Not just the new ones. Speaking of how different and 'special' the newer races get to be, why can't the rest of us have our swords/wands/axes/bows etc. on our backs when we're not using them?

I was thinking about this not long ago, new animations would be nice, and revamped emots. Also a new riding animation for horseback. A lot of this game is pure eye-candy and it would be a nice attention to detail to have new and different meditations for each race; for example, Elves could meditate with their natural wings out... floating... or something.

I so agree on this b:sad

the original 6 classes are being left out At least upgrade some animations. The fox-tree is fine with me.. every skill looks different from the fox-tree! now if they would only make the skills from human-form look different from eachother I'm fine with it x___X""
I keep casting the same circle in a different colour... venomous, ironwood, blazing, lucky it's getting boring :<

Maybe make a revamp for only demon/sage skills. They are stronger then the lvl 10 skills, so why not make them look better?

a race specific meditation would be awesome too But I gues the skills will take priority for me ^^" but who knows o.o maybe next year they'll give the old classes some love.. if the game is still online...


btw o.o when you said that about elven meditation with wings out I had to think of this pic straight away ^^" click me ;D

I support the idia of getting veno skills look revamped... grinding in pw is already boring so grinding with skills that look almost exactly the same makes it even more boring, may be they could make the veno's casting position different for some skills and give more effecs like blazing instead of being a circle with failed wanna be flames around it would be a fire circle spining and emanating flames to the sides, and frost scarab would look more awesome if it had more of a freezing aura, because it looks more like a water scarab( i know its water element but :<) so may be it coud be like a diamond isntead of a circle and an icy aura around the veno. Also venomous would look beter if it had some of the circle patters that noxious has.

Im also agreed with the specific class meditation and had some ideas about them for a while like Pegasiand Furturelord said: Elves meditation could be them doing a small jump to float like tides and then unfolding their natural wings( cause asking for the wings they are currently wearing would be too badass, imagine the dark lord ones o_o) and then fold them around their bodies as if they were a shield and have an aura like the water bubble of tides but have it look as a airy bubble with small feathers circling around like plume shell. And for the untamed it would be awesome that when they meditate even in human they turn into their beast form( after all thats their true for right?) and adopt their beast form meditation pose(i honesty have never seen a barb meditate in tiger in the 2 years ive been playing this, but venos you know the fox curled in the ground) and have the circle aura for barbs look fiery like their paws and for venos look like its made of that pinkish dust they emanate in fox + the floweres of summer sprint circling in it. And for humans well... they are humans they could just keep the current meditation after all if the other chars get their specific meditations human's would be unique too( sorry humans >__<b:surrender).

Also having a character models revamp would be a nice thing too, because compared to the new classes then original six look a little too rough and pixelated but if revamping the models means limitating the customization options im against it after all pw's signature feature its having the hugest and probably best customization system of all mmos. Having said all that i just hope that the gm bother themselves a little to read this thread and let the devs know that we could really appreciate some new looks into the game and well thats not gonna mess up their profits right? and if it does they could always make a "Year of the rabbit pack" ^^;.b:shutup

Oh and yeah: Happy new year to all in pw.b:victory

Wiz, BMs and Clerics still have the best animations in the game.

Yeah the new classes have better quality of animations, but some of the old animations themselves look better.

EDIT: lol necro. woops.
