[edit] Visual Effects (Discussion)
It has been suggested that there should be better visual effects whenever you use a spell or if you are affected with a condition there should be certain effects that would happen to you. (ie. if your blind there is a black flash randomly)
Depending on the profession, different animations could be added to the players and the enviroment like a trail of zombie-like hands trying to grab at the feet of a necromancer, an aura of light surrounding a monk or a beam of light focused on monk from the sky that follows the monk, or every once in awhile a speech bubble of motivational words coming from a paragon and the ncps/playable characters around the paragon cheering. Ideas like these for old or new professions.
- Why this is a good idea
- Makes graphics better.
- Why it may not work out
- Slows down performance.
- Annoying to player (?)
[edit] Environmental Effects/Interaction (Discussion)
As a way to make the game more immersive, have plants move when a player runs through them. Or if in an environment that is windy, have plants/trees more accordingly. Wind also could be used as an environmental effect which negates a players movement speed.
- Why this is a good idea
- makes environment more visually pleasing, and gives players more to appreciate when moving around in their surroundings
- Why it may not work out
- may be a bit too late to implement these things?
- negative effects may get frustrating for players over time
