Who else wishes the Crux were pyramids(3D Triangles) instead of triangles(2D Triangles)?

I don't feel strongly either way however I have heard this from other guildies, that they wish they were 3D objects rather than 2D ones.

If there was a 'I am fine with either' option I'd have picked that one.

One thing I'm happy about is the slowing down of the spinning animation. The original speed did not cause me to experience motion sickness however I find the current one more pleasing.

I rather have charge numbers like everything else in the game. Molten Whip, Grim Focus, and Bound Armaments. Don't care too much for the animation, in with a lot of bodies and flashy stuff going around they become harder to see.

LunaFlora

No

i just want to be able to turn the visual off.
i think pyramid wouldn't really make it better or worse

rotating pyramids. Bouncing up and down. Shooting small beams every 4 seconds.

They paint the area with a triangulated pin point for the mothership to bring down an orbital strike!

Beilin_Balreis_Colcan

I'd actually prefer 1D triangles

I want to turn the visual off entirely on the client side, so those who like it can see it still while others (like me) don't have to look at it.

No

I'd rather have a bar that fills or similar. Too much flashy visual clutter on the screen doesn't make for an exciting experience in my opinion, it just makes it very hard to see what's going on.
Like others here, I'd welcome the choice of toggling these effects off.

4D. Expand your thinking.

I'd prefer three icons floating above my head personally, and only for me to see. One, two, three lights above my head and I'm full. Doesn't need to be some flashy animation just a UI indication that I have that many crux.

Elrond87

id like to be able to see them with all the other effects going on over them

TaSheen

No

I like them the way they are, though it wouldn't upset me if they went away in favor of some other UI thing to track them.

benzenexz

Yes

yes, but not 3D triangles, they should be tetrahedron

Braffin

I'm fine with either 2D or 3D.

I'm voting for 1D flappies tho.

SilverBride

I rather they were much smaller and just in a static position somewhere.

rpa

No

I have to admit took a double take when I saw the triangles first time because of this triangle...

But seriously, I think 3d triangle / tetrahedra / pyramid / whatever would likely be even more distracting.

Baron_Atjas

No

I don't think it would be optimization friendly

AloofGoof

Yes

haha was not expecting so much interest in this. I'm definitely a person who prefers visual ques rather than staring at bars. I should have made a third option for people who couldn't care either way. I just figured they wouldn't care enough to vote.

karthrag_inak

No

Less meshes -> faster rendering.

merpins

No

it's easier to render a flat plane with a texture mapped onto it than it is to render a 3D model, regardless how simple it is. Plus I think the point is like a mage writing runes that float in midair. Making it 3D kinda misses that.

But I do wish you could turn it on and off.

sPark101

Yes

I wish they were, little black triangles with white light entering on one side with a rainbow of colors coming out the other, here.

Great post, have a cigar, you're gonna go far.

runa_gate

3d rendering triggers my Cartesiapobia and PvP should immediately be nerfed to prevent my getting e-motion sickness

haelgaan

Yes

i would prefer they restored the original pattern (actively circling the torso), or make them follow the same pattern floating around the body as the balls for Ebony, Pearlescent, etc. The nerf to make them nearly static really sucks.

Marto

No

I just wish they were 10-20% smaller, and that the fog that surrounds them had mch lower opacity (if not removed altogether)

MidniteOwl1913

You should really have added a "wish I didn't have to look at them" option to the poll.

They are annoying, 2 vs 3 D isn't the problem.

Wuduwasa13

No

No, fine as they are…besides, my guildies & I have already settled into calling them the ‘green Doritos’. It would be inconvenient to change them.

BenTSG

No

Nah, I like the 2D look of them. 3D might look odd or out of place

ADarklore

I'm sure they are 2D due to game engine limitations. I know during the introduction discussion, they stated that the animation department was able to find a way to make this crux animation possible, but they made it sound like it was a difficult process- as in difficult within the confines of the outdated engine. So I doubt 3D animations are even possible.

Hurbster

There should be an option to just have it as a meter.
