While I normally really enjoy playing the mage class in all kinds of MMORPG and RPG games, this is not valid for the New World. The reason is that the skill visuals are very bad.
all the magic skill trees should be remake the visual effects.
" Fire Staff, Life Staff, Ice Gauntlet, Void Gauntlet. " Even maybe new next Focus Weapon "
I think that a game with such beautiful graphics should have much better skill visuals, and frankly, I don’t like these bad skill visuals of New World, they look very inadequate.
In some MMOs there are so many effects going off I CAN’T find anything.
If the number one piece of advice players give to newbies who join your MMO is “turn off effects to be able to see gameplay” then your Fantasy isn’t my Final perspective.
In most MMOs we need mods or graphics options to disable half the screen clutter. I don’t need that here.
Now if I was a PvPer I would very much agree that enemy and ally effects being the same color is confusing. That might be my only criticism.
I mostly like the game’s SFX and general graphics, but I do not like ice gauntlet or fire staff. The light attack on both is like you are throwing a glowing golf ball.
VFX, especially for mages are underwhelming to say the least. There is honestly nothing visually impressive on IG, VG or FS, which is a shame considering they’re the only spellcasters. Some of the AI in the game have much better looking VFX and I hope over time they revisit the older stuff on the weapons to look more impressive.
Too much flashing effects is bad for game, it has to be toned and balanced so we can focus more on fighting instead of blindly activating skills, because every attack of other players is covered by many animations. Not even talking about fps issue… Definietly do not need it.
Graphic arts and sounds are the only thing keep me atached to this game, those workers behind shall be hired by a more competent or skilled company. Their work its thrown to garbage.
you can close other players’ visual effects from settings Visual effects are important for me and some players so that I can have fun.
and this is for you
I would be fine with it if they provided options to tone them down. I dont want to turn off all visuals…especially since i need to see them for pvp to avoid enemy attacks. How do you dodge an invisible fireball? You don’t. Its more complicated than just turn them off.
They havent even been able to give us friendly/foe colors for over a year so i have zero faith in them handling adding more intense effects and providing proper options.
Kind of sad really. Old ass games like EQ1/2 even have better options for toning down or turning up particle effects.
