The Sacred City of Adoulin

[Heslon]

It was a rehearsal. The actual stream is apparently next week.. based on what they said in the stream

did they say on which day the next stream will be this week?

[Spira]

8pm Japan time tomorrow (7th). almost an entire day away.

they'll provide a link to the stream on their JP twitter account

[Alkar]

Is it just me or are those GEO AoE's quite annoying? I couldn't see anything in that stream.

[vadre]

Yeah, seems like a pretty dumb idea to have that effect on constantly. They should've just had the original animation and then a ring that flashes on the floor or something, rather than a constant aura. PS2s are going to explode.

[Spira]

i think (hope) it might be a PC only thing.. it really doesn't make sense for them to go an eternity trying to avoid such animation for fear of lag or whatever, going as far as to remove stuff like the pretty glow from avatars only to put them back again when the problem remains

[Rocl]

PS2s are going to explode.

That's one way to drop PS2 support.

That would mark a new era of ignoring PS2 limitations!

They replaced it with a gimped glow last I checked. The original one looked more like a haze on my PC, while the modern one looks like a retarded edge-filter at higher resolutions.

well, the proposed UI changes ignore PS2 limitations already, so its not that new. it may be less groundbreaking to be honest.

yeah.. i loved the old glow.. a hazy ethereal effect not unlike what you find on GM gear. the one they replaced it was a stupid glowing pixelated outline.

Yeah, just talking in terms what would come out first.

[Alkar]

I honestly don't care about PS2s exploding but that thing is way too dense. Also the animation plays every time you swap gear <_<
I get the point of the aura ,and it should totally stay, but tone it down a little bit and let me see the action going on there.
Maybe it's just the monsters being too small, idk.

[Chamaan]

It should flash once so I know it's on, and then if I'm under the effect (in range of the geocolure), give me a sphere status icon like if someone is wearing pulse gear. That's all I need. I don't need them building a whole new zone for the first time in 6 years just so they can rose-color tint it with spheres overlapping over every inch of the land.

[dasva]

Personally I'd kinda like something ongoing to see where it is. But doesn't need to be much. A line on the ground. Faint glow when you within range.

[ronin sparthos]

As long as it can be toggled on/off IDC.

[Taim Meich]

I love the effect, flashy stuff is always welcome.

Plus, I'm giggling to think of an army of GEO/SMN with two spheres and an avatar out each... Portable zone-crashing alliance!

[Darkmagi]

Make it happen, that would be hilarious to see. Just cluster them in one spot that people pass through frequently.

[Cairthenn]

Like the exit to Adoulin.

Spoiler: show

You'd probably get banned, or crash yourself.
