Necromancer changes: - Nlyph's Ghost Form is now a zombie illusion instead of a ghost illusion

This might not affect gameplay or anything but why would you want to do that devs? The Nlyph's Ghost Form should have the illusion of well.. making you look like a ghost. we have zombie and skeleton pets, we also already have the skeleton illusion. Why change the Ghost form illusion to make us look like another one of our pets? The ghost form looks good and its my personal favourite illusion. I wouldnt want it to be taken away, much less to look like a zombie. Please reconsider chaning this awesome illusion. :smileysad:Necros, please comment on this moot change. Thank you.

Thanks for the support fellow Necros :smileysad: the change went through. i dont think there are many Necros out there come to think of it..

Of course not, the class was/is broken and SOE has better things to do, like sell out.

( And yes I play(ed) a Nec )

I'm not a Necro (being an SK) but I find this change pretty lame as well...no idea what the motivation was for changing this...

I love the new zombie form. So much better than that ghost form that was bugged. You get flies that buzz around you, now they just need to fix the zombie so it looks like it's casting spells or swimming.

Or maybe the majority of us just don't care, as it's just a fun spell - I was running around in zombie form last night just to freak out my hunting partner; otherwise the spell isn't even on my hotkeys.

Now, if they changed the form to that of a giant pink bunny with a purple tutu then I'd see a need to complain.

Then they should at least rename it to Nlyph's Zombie form.

DivineFem · 04-22-2005, 04:41 PM

Hated that change as well :smileysad: Ghost illusion was the best one we have, I think they changed it because they couldn't or didn't want to figure out how to solve the bug that causes the caster disappearing while using it. Sad though, zombie form is so very common (and I am not into flies). I am all for changing it back to ghost form so count me in :smileyhappy: Cheers

I thought it's called Nylph's Flayed form..?

Aruka · 04-24-2005, 03:35 PM

Not really a big deal for me but if I were just now lvling a necro I wouldn't waste the money on any of the fun spells. Out of all ghost was my favorite and now its replaced with the same [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] animation as the pet modle I've been stuck with since lvl24..... Now the only cool illusion we have is Lich adept 3

Garlin1 · 04-24-2005, 04:17 PM

I want my ghost form back, I had a bug with it to make myself nakie... now I can't go nakie!!!

Hey Necs...have some questions bout this SMILEY Personally, I thought that phazing in and out thing was intentional cuz it looked so [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] cool. So its a bug. What exactly made it have to be changed? other than not working as intended. Was it exploitable or something? Cuz if it was just cosmetic I would say it kicked azz that way. Fix the [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] spell sheesh. Dont just turn it into a whole different classification of monster and leave the name as it was. Thats just silly.

The spell was origionally (and hte spell you bought said as much) Nylph's Flayed Form, but it scribbed as Nylph's Ghost Form..I personally prefer the Ghost form, they just needed to fix the bug with it. It's bad enough that necromancers have zombie pets that don't do an attack animation, now we get an illusion with no animations.

Miral · 04-30-2005, 11:51 AM

Bleh I never even got to see the ghost form, class was so broken I never went past 25... You know out of the things necros have, ghost form was one of the things I was actually looking forward to... Especially if it looked anything like the necro ghost NPCs (like the witch in A Foul Wind... just looks so awesome compared to the craptastic zombies that are dead instead of undead)

Romka · 04-30-2005, 09:42 PM

Its soo simple... They werent able to fix bugged spell, so they replaced it with something that "works".
