I think we all know this term.:)
It means stay out of the red on the ground.
Red = Dead, damage, bad mojo, nasty magic, no bueno, etc
So, can we please change the color of the Blood Altar to a gold or white ring on the ground, please? Any other color, really.
I know it is a Blood Altar, so red made sense, in a non-MMO way. But, in a MMO, red is universally bad.
Thank you.

✭✭✭✭✭Are you sure you aren't thinking of the old effect? The original effect for Blood Altar was confusing. The current effect has more of a glowy-white tinge to it, and it's a thicker band. Or it's greenish and pulsing (for one of the morphs). I don't think I've been confused by it since it was changed.----

Someone was just telling me in game that it was still red. If it is fixed, then cool beans.
Excuse me while I go yell at someone.

Fleymark✭✭✭✭✭The glow from Strife should not be red, either.
Can't tell you how many times I've taken bow shots at allies at dolmens because the red glow of strife looked like the aggro glow through all the smoke and haze.
Always thought the same about altar too but I think the morph I use is gold. Or it got changed. Been a while since I used it.0 -

I mean, the unmorphed Blood Altar is still basically red in color, but it's really hard to confuse it with a negative effect circle now. The band around it is totally distinct.----

Well, I think any helpful spell should just not have red in it.
I guess I'm old school that way.Edited by Blackwidow on 7 July 2014 00:502 -

✭Please change the color of the circle of Blood Altar.Yeah, strife was fun in the lower levels, I'd have people constantly trying to attack me. I'd do the /lol emote and they would realize what was happening and usually have a laugh as well.[DC/NA]0 -

Nightblade abilities need to be converted to a black, smokey, shadowy effect. Leave red for the vamps.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.1 -

Not to be rude,
But do you know Blood Altar is a Guild Skill and not a World skill? So shouldn't you transfer this post in the Guild Skills subforum instead?
Thank you!

I agree from a RP view, it is cool.
However from a MMO standpoint it is a bad idea.0 -
