The Observer · 07-26-2009, 11:48 AM

So the new one shows a ghost that is stationary right? i propose something that will not be as confusing as it is right now.

Whats wrong with the current?

The Observer · 07-26-2009, 12:59 PM

well i've seen people "think" magina died (there are instances where heroes die while standing up).

That was discussed about 1 year ago millions of times. People just got used to it, no need for changing. I mean, If you can't decide if he is dead or not, well, then you just need to pay more attention to HP bars and Killing Text which is updating with every kill.

cometics? he does nothing at the moment but slash in the air and disappear. this gives a little feel of "casting a skill"

HappyCat · 07-26-2009, 01:57 PM

Is it possible to somehow allow him to fake blink again?

The Observer · 07-26-2009, 02:51 PM

yes. changing the casting time will.

No. As much as I know, noone made it yet . . .

maybe bringing back the old blink would be good

God NO! New one really suits Magina's swiftness . . .

What if the animation (the fading magina image) was played both on the blinking spot (as now) and also at target location? That would allow magina to fake blink.

KenpachiSlardar · 07-26-2009, 06:26 PM

fake blink was a good strategy back in the days =/ maybe what foede said

Shatterman · 07-26-2009, 07:43 PM

agree with cp6uja on this one. no need to change. totally fine

1. when magina blinks, he turns around like he did a critical attack.
2. real magina turns in target location, ghost magina turns in former location.

so it's less confusing cause you'll see magina turn unlike now.

if anyone can make a test map for it it'll be a big help.

I don't get it O_o

hmmm I like the current blink... It looks really cool. Did asam3 mean that it should be the spinning attack instead of the spell cast?

The Observer · 07-27-2009, 12:54 AM

if no one sees the animation it's the 2nd attack animation of the demon hunter.

and this part

is the same as how the current one shows a ghoslty magina at your "former location" before you blink. actually the only difference of this to the current one is magina turns and not slash in the air.

oh i see
I'm really indifferent
I'd have to see it in action
That animation he uses now is the spell throw animation, and asam's suggesting the attack 2 animation

Look for the big letters saying: ULTRA KILL ?

Zack1996 · 07-27-2009, 06:04 AM

Its fine. What's wrong with Slashing the air? It looks good IMO.
