Inspirational Mesmer Illusion Appearance Change Idea

In addition to having very clear and identifiable skill effects, City of Heroes was designed to made sure that someone could easily identify between a player and AI. Was a really great decision, especially for those of us who participated in pvp modes.

Let's take a look at how City of Heroes handled the visuals with AI "illusion" stuff, and let's use this as inspiration to make a healthy change here! Yippy!

So you solution is to introduce large amounts of UI clutter?

“Someone could easily identify between player and AI”

“Visuals with AI “illusion” stuff”

...Did you not see the “illusions” looking different than the player in the video?

Oh, and ummm, the UI was 100% customizable, unlike here... just saying...

the mesmer clones should be clone. this is the theme of the mesmer to confuse you.maybe phantasm should look bit bigger but that's it.

now for the mesmer to stealth .... no no . this is a thief department no class should have ever had.

Wasn't the point of mesmer illusions that you can trick your enemy into attacking clones instead of you? Would defeat the point of mesmer if they were easily distinguished even if they idea doesn’t actually work out too well against anything that isn’t a potato.

Most of your ideas seem to revolve around changing GW2 to be more like other games.
