Two Small Issues

[fenixilius]

<div>Well these are two issues that pop onto the board bout every month are so. And since it's about that time again, thoug hI'd be the first to do mention them.</div><div> </div><div>For starters... our missing zerker red glow. I still don't understand why it was removed three weeks after it was finally fixed, but it was. Our zerker animation was one of the big things that set us off from others.</div><div>Sadly to begn with it was an annoying full arm motion animtion that cancelled the regular attack animations and made our combat look ...well...stupid.</div><div>But that was all fixed when sony took out the animation when our zerker buff proc'd but just made i a simple and nice looking red glow. And everyone liked it.</div><div>I do not see a reason Sony ever removed our glow when we proc'd... It was something that made at least me, slightly more entertained with the class.</div><div> I would like to see it reintroduced.</div><div> </div><div>My second small issue is our Level 40 Fun spell, Morpg the of Circus. This morph is one hing i find that a majority of the zerker community hates. It does not represent what our class stands for. Also another class gets the exact same morph at a lower level which also gives stat buffs  (believe it's mystics...might be wrong). Last issue with this is that it is not par with what a Guardian gets at lvl 40...a shiny obsidian golem morph.</div><div>I find this bear morph insulting to all i hold dear as a Angry Bezerker. I feel this definitely needs to be reviewed and changed it something better. And this better morph in my opinion is that of a nightblood.</div><div>The Nightblood personifies all that a zerker is...big muscles, fiery eyes, teeth and claws as sharp as blades, glorios horns, and an additude to match. I find no better representation of the zerker. Just as a golem is a good representation for a guardian...large, sturdy, and stupid <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Just kidding there you silly guardians.</div><div> </div><div>Anyway, those our my two tiny thoughts.</div>

Big muscles? I guess, although I don't think it's necessary...Fiery eyes? I could see that, a good indication of the fury a zerker feels...Teeth and claws as sharp as blades? ... er, what?Glorios horns? Umm...I dunno about the rest of you, but it sounds dumb to me. Maybe I just don't see the angle you do. It sounds like every other case of overstreessing an attitude in all the wrong ways. Perfect humor examples of this would be Trogdor the Burninator or even the Ninjas from the realultimatepower.net site. Basically it goes like this...Ok, I have this idea for a superhero... he is mega buff, muscles popping out all over and like 10 feet tall... He can shoot flames from his fingers! I know! He also has these awesome blades on his arms that he can fling out like a boomerang! And he can fly too! He's got this massive spiked tail that he swings around knocking noobs off their feet! Hey, I got an idea, lets give him eyes like a cat and huge fangs! His hair is like all cool and black and slicked back but he can turn em into snakes that shoot laser beams out their eyes! He's part cybernetic too! He's got rocket power jets in his feet and this badarse beam shoots from his chest! Ooh, lets add some uber dragon wings made out of adamantium! ...The path is that you want a cool character, so you start piecing together things that you think are cool regardless of whether it matches. Basically, Berserkers are cool. Nightbloods are cool looking. But that doesn't mean Berserkers should look like Nightbloods. The nightblood suggestion just seems like the idea of "coolness" or "bad mofo-ness" about the Berserker ran away from the actual source material.Aside from that, there are mutliple ways to transform aside from the entertainment spells. There are quests from KoS that let you turn into a half-dragon, or from Bloodlines that turn you into a vampire, or from Splitpaw that turns you into this hulking, werewolf-like veersion of a gnoll... From the sounds of it, any of these seem like preferrable alternatives to those who dislike the bear form but noone seems to suggest these as alternatives.I think the bear is a much better representation of the Berserker. Berserkers are not suppose to walk around scowling and sneering and in combat poses 24/7. They seem like normal and calm individuals and pretty much like everyone else... that is until they find themselves in danger or in a fight and it is then that their fury is unleashed. When you are in bear form and just sitting there, ya you do look a bit cute and relatively harmless. In combat mode, you have a firerce growl and a nasty scowl that easily conveys danger, or would anyway if people didn't realize it was just a game.And that's where the problem is... being "just a game" is why many people are not satisfied with the apparent subtleties of the bear in attack form (mostly because you are viewing your character from behind) and seek more obvious indulgence in more obvious visual areas... like the exaggerated features of the nightblood.It's the comic book sydrome <span>:smileytongue:</span>One thing I would like to see added to the Bear form however is that during combat, have the bear stand up on his legs every once and a while (like you do when casting certain spells, like Call to ...). It definately looks violent when autoattack is on! <span>:smileywink:</span>But yes, I did like the red glow and it sucks that it is gone <span>:smileysad:</span><div></div>

Man, I just thought of this and had to post it... This is a PERFECT example of how I interpret the nightblood sugestion that gets passed around...NIghtblood - has a bunch of "cool" features and "cool" is how I see my berserker so they must match up right?Translated into the Movie world:Take a bunch of "cool" ideas that you've seen in other movies, slap them together and you chould have a "cool" movie right?What you wind up with is...Any Uwe Boll movie.Yes, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.petitiononline.com/RRH53888/petition.html">this</a> Uwe Boll.<div></div>
