[Animation] Bloodstone: charge release upon death

Biophase · 11-03-2010, 09:00 AM

Everyone says Bloodstone needs a buff. So I thought :

"What buff is better than a visual buff ... after all current bloodstone has NO EFFECT AT ALL"
I browsed hive for fitting effects and I found two that fit really nicely.Effects should be applied upon death. Have a look:

Effect 1:

Justifications:

Nicely looking effect

Fits bloodstone's burst mana/hp regeneration upon death

If scaled too much it might add some clutter to the gameplay.

MSI - 5kb

Does not add much variety in effects since it represents a recolored version of Ezalor's Bright Light.

Overall: Little MSI but it's worth it. A fitting yet common effect.

Effect 2*:

Justifications:

Nicely looking effect

Fits Bloodstone's burst mana/hp regeneration upon death

Fits Bloodstone's charge release upon death

It must not be scaled too much or it looks ugly

MSI of 2kb(Seriously - who cares about 2kb MSI?)

Overall: Has MSI but it's worth it. Nicely represents charge release.
*this effect is hard to judge from the screenshot and should be checked in the test-map

So, forum, I need your opinion - do you think bloodstone even needs an effect? If yes do you like the suggested effects? If no can you suggest any better?

I strongly recommend you to check the test-map before commenting as the suggested effects are hard to judge from screenshots.

T-Up on number one since it looks better. Option two, however, isn't that noticeable and would look ugly is scaled up

SanTa ClaWs · 11-03-2010, 09:18 AM

t-up on animation 1 since it does look better and... does animation 1 fit the 1675 AoE in which bloodstone heals? It should.
Anyway great idea!

T-up

Second one isn't supposed to show the aoe as instead just the heal occuring and the charges being subtracted.

Yes it does.

Monsterlord · 11-03-2010, 09:53 AM

I like the first one, and I think bloodstone's heal is under-represented and certainly needs a visual. Hell, I forget about it ore often than not.

2kb can be big though thats 2,000 bytes hell that's big (just kidding)
T-up

gaibo1 · 11-03-2010, 10:19 AM

T-up on the first one, looks better.

dominator02 · 11-03-2010, 10:21 AM

First Option looks nice for the effect.

StraY_WolF · 11-03-2010, 10:30 AM

T-up all the way...

Poker-Ash · 11-03-2010, 10:34 AM

nice idea. good to go. t-up

L|Enzo · 11-03-2010, 11:00 AM

2nd one is nice, I'm for it

Ez_Mystery · 11-03-2010, 12:19 PM

Effect 1 - Simply doesn't fit imo

Effect 2 - That looks more like a firework

IMO a good effect for Bloodstone is it have to be red, since the icon is red, dead mark is red too
Looks magical if possible but not so shiny

Nanaya Shiki · 11-03-2010, 12:29 PM

Yes I always think that Blood Pact needs some effects.

Sinnner · 11-03-2010, 12:30 PM

First one is nice, but a bit more red would be nice.

Great, Now, everyone's gonna buy bloodstone!

Captain Planet · 11-03-2010, 12:37 PM

Hmm...I don't really like either of them. Sorry but
