The Dragonknight skill visuals that lava thing. It's been the same since 2014, and it's messing up our gear styles
We put a lot of energy, time, and sometimes even money into unlocking style pages and all of it is spoiled by these visual effects.
Of course, I'm aware that this is subjective, and some players probably enjoy these effects. But I swear, I got back into the game with a friend who's discovering it in 2023, and he thought it was a visual glitch.
I also want to clarify that I'm not here to bash the work of the artists who have done an amazing job. The game dates back to 2014, and that's absolutely fine. Some other effects are simply stunning, and the overall visual aspects of the game are beautiful. I'm just requesting an update for certain effects. I'll let you be the judge, and I want to note that my graphic settings are on "Ultra"
i'm very glad of my style :
i'm not playing with this skills because of this "lava thing"...
i dont want to play Nightblade

Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 22 DLCs. 35 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

I doubt they'll change it. I don't find it a big issue personally - in fact, I quite like the DK effects. If I didn't like them, I wouldn't play them....______________________________________________________

"Dragon blood : Draw on your draconic blood to heal for 33% of your missing Health. You also gain Major Fortitude, increasing your Health Recovery by 30% for 20 seconds."
the description never said that i'll be transparent or "invisible" but it's not the question, the visuals effect are very old and it's appear like a "visuals bug" for me you've gotten used to it since 2014, that's why you say that.

✭Personally, I think they should consider adding an option to turn off the visual fx on many of the abilities (Other people would still see it if you used the ability).
The visuals do add some clarity for when you have a buff up and at times it can provide some value in PvP but, much of the time I don't really find it to be needed. Most fights I'm in it doesn't really matter if I'm a second or two off on a buff (and I could always display the buff icons if I was really concerned.) In PvP, I'm generally fighting enough players that I don't actually bother paying attention to many of the buff visuals because too much else is going on.
One of the things I like about Oakensoul is you get the buffs without the visual garbage.

So true!
I’m not a fan of the look of many of the DK’s skills either, especially a lot of the tanky ones like the lava texture, sprouting rocky spikes from one’s back, etc. It would be great if there were options to customize the look of some skills. 2 -

✭✭✭✭As a DK tank I love those visuals, as in the massive amount of skills and enemies it is easy to see if these are active. Besides that, the looks for these skills are quite good.
No changes needed in my opinion.6 -

This is the only problematic animation that needs to be changed.
Firstly, I really don’t see the connection between the animation and the name and the function of the Dragon Blood skill (Coagulating Blood and Green Dragon Blood).
Secondly, this animation completely hides other DK animations.

Kalle_Demos✭✭✭✭✭DK visuals as they are are fine and fit nicely with their theme. That said, the game could use a graphical overhaul. But that won't happen while ESO is saddled with Console limitations.

Didn't Flames of Oblivion used to have a cool animation, and now it's just a ball of fire? Or was it a different dk skill I'm thinking of?Add a Scribing skill that works like Arcanist beam.

Veteran players have been alienated and disengaged from Overland since One Tamriel, due to the lack of difficulty, and pushed into dungeons and trials; the minority of content in the Elder Scrolls Online. We can't take the repetition anymore, fix Overland engagement for Vet players. I don't even care if it's not combat related anymore, just make Overland engaging again.

It's worse when i use dragon blood, i took DK because i love fire and i love dragon, but i get minecraft lava texture on my shield
and nightblade cloak of shadow
i really doesnt understand why people are against a rework of VFX ? Templar and DW spammable gets animations reworks, why DK and others class can't ?

Araneae6537✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭This is why I think additional OPTIONS would be good, if that is at all possible.
I totally respect that there are people who like them as they are now, created characters to work with those abilities, and would be understandably upset if they were changed. I wouldn’t like it if the Morrowind-themed Warden abilities were just replaced as I made my Warden a Dunmer for that reason.
Likewise, I made many of my characters Nightblades in large part because of the absence of what I felt were obnoxious over-the-top visuals. Now the jokes on me as Grim Focus puts a permanent red blob on my beautiful expensive weapons (see the thread dedicated to the topic) just for being slotted, in and out of combat. It is absolutely horrible.

I agree, but overall, the game needs to refresh its visual effects and animations to 'modernize' the experience. The attacks lack any 'impact,' and the sound effects as well. If they're not willing to go that far, they should add an option to at least disable the visual effects for the player only.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 22 DLCs. 35 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter.

I don't care about what other players think of my outfit, however, I do care about what I see of my outfit. I took the time to get my outfit, and I want to see it when I play. You're missing the point.
All modern MMOs have received visual overhauls and animation refreshes, except for ESO. WoW is the perfect example.
