aelska.4609 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I understand the philosophy behind "uniform aura animation" but I genuinely think it was a mistake. You dont react the same way to magnetic aura than shocking aura. Color and "status bar effect" are different BUT:Icons are very similar from one aura to an otherColors are not perceived the same way by everybody: screen settings or colorblindness. I don't remember anyone complaining about previous aura animations. They were way more visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De Bourgogne.9642 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Animations are better but icons need to be changed. They can keep same icons but give them colours:red for fire, blue for ice, brown for magnetic, white for shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega.5791 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I liked the very old animations too, yes. The eggshells were already difficult, but the new ones? No way, seriously. Frost and shocking aura look too similar, just as light. And in the heat of battle, even fire and magnetic can be mistaken.Just make auraspam unviable again and delete revive bots. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovark.2514 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 They should just have a ring around the character of the appropriate color. Minimalist but effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimalist but effective.Any colorblind out here will tell you how much such a system would make them QQ. Some already confuse an ennemy for an ally because of the title color, imagine asking them to distinguish a color between 7 others. Auras have powerful effects, knowing when to hit is a must-have.@Hirosama Nadasaki.6792 said:@aelska.4609 said:I don't remember anyone complaining about previous aura animations.

Icons change would already be quite an easy fix indeed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Bourgogne.9642 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Think colour blind people have bigger issues in GW2 PvP then auras lol as I don't think game has any help for colour blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though in all honesty it doesn't matter what they do with auras they'll never be visible enough amid the sea of combo fields, shiny character models, and other flashy abilities.
