Please Tilt the Pumpkin Downward (New skill style)

Yuushanaba1 · October 10

I think the idea itself is great — I was really looking forward to this item. I previewed it before purchasing, and I still thought maybe it was a bug or something, so I bought it anyway. Watching the color change is fun, and I don’t think this is an extremely bad product. I don’t have any hostile feelings about it, truly.

However, I just can’t accept it as it is.
Please, give this cool—or perhaps adorably pitiful—Hollowjack just a slight downward tilt. I’m begging you.

Let it actually spit something strange and yellow from its mouth toward enemies, or maybe melted wax, or pumpkin goo—it could be anything. Even 1000-degree coffee would be fine.

What I want to say is simply this:

Please tilt the pumpkin downward.

I don’t want to see something dripping from the severed neck, like a beheaded head oozing blood.
What I want to see is a mischievous Halloween King, grinning wickedly, spraying some mysterious liquid from its mouth toward enemies.

Please, I’m asking sincerely.

This is my first time posting on the forum. I apologize if this post violates any rules. I used translation software to write this message.

No, really. It looks like the pumpkin is pooping.

20 bucks for something only you can see is also a bit much.

It really looks like it should be facing downwards in the icon for it.

Other people *can* see your eye, I think in trials it might be disabled? But in dungeons deffo can.

But do they see the pumpkin here or the watcher? I don’t know.

Other people can see your skill styles. At least, in PvE. I haven’t tried in PvP.

Skill styles are visible by others. Though sometimes I wish they could be turned off (bright red flappy twilights).

tomofhyrule · October 10

The confusion between "can see it" and "can't see others" are from two factors:

1) the Watcher effect is one of the things included in the "hide ally effects" option, so players who have it turned off don't see other players' watchers or their beams.
2) the Meteor, orange skill style had a bug for a bit after it released where it showed as the default to everyone else. It's since been fixed.

Avran_Sylt · October 10

Surprised it isn't, given the skill-style icon portrays it as. Guess they're banking on some people being impulsive enough to not even check the style preview. "But they had the option to preview it!.

Not even coinciding with any orange-themed apparel that would match with the style. It's also standalone, nothing else to make a fleshed out theme, the hollowjack event isn't even running yet either (for those that might not have the hollowjack motif) to try and give people an idea of an actual theme they could build instead of relying on players to tailorcraft their own ideas.

In ESO undead things don't automatically correlate to orange and festive/Halloween. Bunch of swings and misses.

I knew you could for some, but I was wondering about the ones you purchase. I forgot the red flappy was crown store and yes I can see that one.

You just need to tilt it slightly at 45 degrees and make an open mouth.

Apollosipod · October 11

The fact that everyone is having to repeatedly say that the beam should be coming from the pumpkin's mouth (which I think was what everyone expected) shows how little effort was put into this little seasonal cash grab

Tyrobag · October 11

I agree. Like, I probably wasn't going to buy this anyway (especially at the still way overpriced $20 for a single ability skin), but I previewed it and was somehow more disappointed than I thought I would be XD

I'd give anything to be able to turn off all other players' skill styles, including (especially) the red twilight.

It just occured to me that in this particular case, it may not actually be visible to other players on consoles because it's an Ultmate skill. I'd forgotten that PC version has the toggle option to see other players additional visual effects, but consoles don't have that option. Many of the Ultimate visuals for other players are turned off by default, so console payers may be out of luck.

I'd forgotten that consoles don't have that option in my earlier reply.

If I had a nickel for every time I was shocked to learn console doesn’t have an option that seems like a given… I would have about 4 nickels. What options do consoles even have????

I can see other’s watcher arc ulti in both PvE and PvP.

I expected the beam to come from the mouth like the icon. I’m not a fan of how this looks either. I hope I like the crow styles more.

@ZOS_Kevin

Given the beam doesn't match the icon, will this be fixed like that hat got fixed a long time ago to match its icon?
