Meteor skill style and valkyn skoria

Zyaneth_Bal · July 17

Either meteor style’s colour or valkyn skoria’s effect need to be changed because they look exactly the same.

Not to mention that skoria’s effect was copypasted from meteor but at least they used to be of different colours.

Not much to discuss rly, hope devs will at least know of this

@ZOS_Icy actually can this thread be moved to a proper place or removed, please? As the topic concerns live server and not pts

Unless it was changed on PTS, it does still concern it, and yeah these should be more visually distinct.

Haven't noticed a similarity between the 2 when others are using the skill style, but at least when I am using the style, there is a massive orange glow for the entire screen depicting that the ultimate was the one being cast, that I haven't seen on the skoria monster set (unless that got changed the past few patches).

There is also still the sound cue to differentiate the 2. The ultimate has such a distinctive sound that the monster set doesn't have.

I still instinctively block every time I hear it (and am not the one casting it), even in PvE zones

The glow is only there when it’s too late to block and sound cue doesn’t help in big fights like in Cyrodiil. When there are hundreds of players on each side you can’t keep track of each meteor cast in the vicinity. And you will always hear it whether it’s being cast by an ally or enemy or at you.

Skill styles shouldn’t affect gameplay even a little, if they do then they shouldn’t have existed at all. Possible confusion was a concern for players when styles were announced. Unfortunately, it appears to have been justified.
