New Dragon Knight Skill Visual overhaul

Chaebol · January 19

I want to play game. Not reading UI.
If I had known I would be reading the UI instead of playing the game, I would have read the novel instead.

I dislike every skill with wings. They are so bad and I wonder why they went from growing wings to a single goofy floating wing. Redo wing buffet and dragon leap. Everything else looks good and is an improvement visually.

That’s a bug, there’s no way a floating wing would be our final product. 😂

I hope so. i just don't see how such an obvious bug even makes it to pts. so i assumed it's intended.

Why on earth would you think that was intentional? lmao no hate im just baffled. It was clearly a bug. And it's PTS, a breeding ground for bugs, that's usually the point.

I dislike all new DK animations

I agree with the op, actual spikes and dragon blood looks way better than the pts ones

Earthspike Mantle is extremely ugly, I don't understand how this got the green flag.... a second time, something completely different should've been done instead of making the spikes longer... PLEASE remake the ability's visuals... it is mandatory on any PvP build or tank build not running Chudan. I am already tired of looking at it.. In no way it fits any of the other VFX? Is there an Add-on I can use to hide it!

It's turning into wow visually. I don't like it. It's for the kids probably.

Why are people always feedbacking after the fact about these things when there was a lengthy pts period where this type of feedback was collected and implemented?

The animations are fine. The sounds aren't great though. They sounds too wet like an arcanist. I miss the old sounds.

They are all way better than the older ones, the only one I could argue that might be inferior are the spikes, but that's easily negligible considering how much better all the skills are overall, especially the whip, it looks and sounds so satisfying.

In general, I don't like them. They look cool by themselves, but taken together, it's just visual overload when everything is red.. Visually the effects on the enemy are unclear. Petrify looks nothing like what it does.

One that's great: Burning Embers. Gorgeous, clean and communicates the skill very well.

One I absolutely hate: what happened to my WINGS? They look like tiny bats instead of unfurling massive dragon wings.

Because you are a tiny HUMAN, not a 'massive dragon', so IMO the size matched the human body just fine.

I also like the spiked animation as well... and what's interesting is on PTS, people were complaining that the spikes were too small, so they made them bigger, and suddenly people are complaining they are too big. So where were you during PTS to add your input?!?

one by one, the animations are superb.
But when you combine them, it's a bit too much light, it explodes in all directions, so imagine several DK together in Battlegrounds, it's ridiculous.

The spiked armor and the dragon blood looked way cooler before. I do not think zos will ever revert the new animations, even though I really doubt anyone asked for them, still maybe Zos can offer us skill styles to revert to old animations

As a non-DK player, the weapon power buff is still ok and not intrusive. But what's that, the armor ulti that wraps everything in flames? Like, can I be a Templar on my Templar build, please? I don't want to be a DK wrapped up in flames when I play a Templar. And what is going to happen when other classes get the rework? Will I be able to even see my own character or will I be just wrapped in other players effects?

A DK can ride around on a glowing purple mount, make a balrog whip appear from thin air and conjure a huge lake of fire. I don't feel like having grand wings suddenly breaks immersion by being too unrealistic.

New wings just look sad to me. But you know what they say about opinions.

I love the new DK animations. A definite improvement

Perhaps some of the animations are a bit too flashy though...

It's because we gave feedback before during and after and it's still not enough, do you like how earthspikes mantle looks right now?
