[COSMETIC] Remove Aghanim's Spikes on heroes

Cosmetic Change:

Quote:

Greetings DOTA Community!

I noticed (even way back previous older versions) that when Tormented Soul, Lord of Avernus, Holy Knight and Moon Rider wields Aghanim's Scepter, it has spikes animation similar to the Crypt Lord's spiked carapace skill.

I just wanted it to be removed since it doesn't look good on ALL four heroes. Why would spikes make the hero more powerful? I know a different animation is indeed needed but not the spikes.

It's up to the DOTA Community and IceFrog to have a new animation for the four heroes or even have none at the moment but please take off the spikes on them

By the way have you noticed that the four heroes that I mentioned are mounted and have four legs (With the exception of tormented soul. does it have anything to do with the spikes unlike the two legged heroes with Aghanim but does not have spikes?)

I'd also like to add Infrisios' observation with regards to the spikes:

Quote:

Aghanims uses the engineering upgrade if I remember correctly, and the spikes come with it.
The only solution would be to import empty models for the spikes, so they would technically still be there, but not visible. Would hardly take any mapspace (I mean, how much could empty models take? ) but NA would have no spikes then unless you import them again for him.

Thanks for this information Infrisios... this suggestion of mine might not be as easy as possible based on the statement he said.

Let me know your feedback on this topic thanks!

/Agree. It's funny to see spikes come out of a cat, but it's not fitting.

HellCraft · 07-19-2009, 12:38 PM

I support this Idea. Especially for Tormented Soul, his spikes are flying.

AXN · 07-19-2009, 12:41 PM

@Lill

Yes it doesn't look good on Moon Rider. I think some blue contrails on the mount's paws or another animation will be fitting for the Aghanim animation. Thanks for the support here

@HellCraft

Tormented Soul needs a more fitting animation. I'll think of something but for the moment I just want the spikes to be removed. Thanks for supporting the idea here!

I quite like the spikes on Luna but yea T-Up to get rid of TS's. WTB Unique Aggy animations for all heroes.

Whitefang · 07-19-2009, 01:31 PM

If NA get this spikes it on aghanim's it would be awesome.

kanzakill · 07-19-2009, 01:37 PM

Damn I envy you AXN

T-up because girls shouldn't be with long and spiky things

And so do old men

Audacious · 07-19-2009, 03:42 PM

T-up

I think it's pretty easy to make something that fits the model to each.

qlq · 07-19-2009, 03:44 PM

T-up. Kinda obvious why

Cp6uja · 07-19-2009, 04:11 PM

How about to propose some animation instead of removing only?

Antifate · 07-19-2009, 04:24 PM

It'd be nice to have the little Starfall aura that PotM has around Luna.

TS could use the flames that appear after his lightning skill around him.

1nvok3r · 07-19-2009, 04:29 PM

Yes, let's give them new effects to replace it though.

Mfunn · 07-19-2009, 04:33 PM

hmm definitively dont agree on removing spikes for anyone, especially TS, look he's emo and fragile ! spikes make him look like strong and bad >.< its changing him from emo to metalhead xD
bah JK, but i dont like removing something just because it disturbs some ppls.

AXN · 07-20-2009, 01:48 AM

@Whitefang

Don't worry, NA does get spikes even without Aghanim's (due to Spiked Carapace skill)

@warp0

Yeah it really doesn't fit hehehe!

@kanzakill

Why envy me? But I do agree with your comment hahaha!

@Audacious

Thanks for the vote here man!

@DeadIndeeD

Thanks for the support on the suggestion!

@Cp6uja_

You are correct but I can't still find a fitting animation for Moon Rider at the moment, but I'll look for some in DA site...

@Antifate

About Moon Rider's animation, I don't know if I can attach that starfall animation but I'll try... About Tormented Soul's animation, yeah that's great to have elemental animation on him.

@1nvok3r

I'll think of effects to replace the spikes

@Mfunn

I respect your opinion on not removing it. Thanks for the feedback on the topic!

Henry · 07-20-2009, 02:12 AM

Totally agreed AXN! Let's make a UNIQUE scepter to each hero! If you want to hear suggestions I'm able to you give some of mine, and also DotA comunity I guess.

orionorion · 07-20-2009, 02:18 AM

can't agree more.
too ugly and out of line

T-up!

AXN · 07-20-2009, 03:03 AM

@Henry

Please post your ideas of Aghanim animations for the heroes

That's really needed hehehe! Thanks for the support here man!

@orionorion

Thanks for the T-Up!

orionorion · 07-20-2009, 03:31 AM

I remember Chen also has these spikes on him.
If I'm right, plz update your first post

I'll test that when I get home

Thanks for the help, I'll look it up!

Dashy_Boy · 07-20-2009, 04:11 AM

Yup... make the cosmetics related to their ultimates that are improved? As for luna, the "starfall aura" idea is not bad. TS could do with sparkles as well *thinks of binding light from kotl's ulti*
