Dragon Blood and morphs visuals

It's a bit annoying that it makes you look completely transparent tbh, especially since we now have so many tools to customize our looks. In my opinion it's time to have the animation reworked to show the character and make the beating heart glow through the the body. Or at least make it only half transparent like Evasion.

As a DRAGON knight I never got that we turn into a shadowy clone of ourselves with a burning heart to be honest.
Our armor buff is too flashy, but fits the dragon theme with spikes and flames around. Dragon blood should do something like a fiery burning aura around us instead of going full NB shadow clone

These effects were done more for recognition in battle. You could tell what class someone was and what abilities they had running more easily, and I guess you could say this is more a PvP thing than a PvE one. However, I will agree some special effects in this game are a little odd, and some of these appearance issues in the game are not even worth keeping the way they are. One example is the forced vampire skin appearance with no real true mortal appearance option, and while you could say this is a PvP thing, Skilled Tracker exists making werewolves and vampires get highlighted on your screen. At that point what's the point of locking the players into a specific appearance when it doesn't matter since you'll be found out anyway?

If I remember correctly, this was the reason that the Sorcerer's Bound Armor was changed a while back. Bound Armor used to actually put your character in a set of generic Daedric Armor that would cover up your own look.

Seems like a reasonable ask for a similar change to be made to Dragon Blood. I wouldn't mind a cool green glow around my character during Green Dragon's Blood -- that would look cool to me.

Yes, I hate visual of it - I don't want to be transparent. I also hate Molten weapons ugly lava texture on weapons, it needs update too.

I know right? If I saw this effect the first time ever, I wouldn't guess it's for DK. I would say it might be a Nightblade skill or idk.

Tbh they should just remove the lava look and leave the flaming effect.

So that's what it is. I was behind another player today when all of a sudden all I could see was a big thumping heart in front of me. Been away from the game for about 18mths lol.

I love it, I would hate for it to be changed. I only use it when I need it, I'm not popping it all the time so it wouldn't exactly be a big deal if I didn't like it either.

Vote to keep it and Molten weapons visuals the same. Been so long part of the looks it would be just weird to change now.

It looks dumb on DKs honestly, I would rather it just be like a fire or smoke aura coming off them like they are angry/mad would fit the theme better.

Something like that

Some of the design choices are very questionable and contradictory in this game.

I absolutely hate the visual. As a dk it would look really cool if the animation added fire or something. The almost invisible thing… I personally hate it.
