WingsOfGryphin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I personally really hate the wind that's inside Frost globe and it's main reason why i feel the impulse get away from there asap. It interferes with my vision and i often find myself squinting eyes. I also feel that game starts to lag because of it, but it might be visual illusion due or the feeling of chaos that comes from not being able to see clearly. Can we have Frost globe wind removed?It's been bugging me for more than a year, but i finally decided to post it because today i played with a Nekros that brought nullifiers to our side and i felt very comfortable sitting in their shields. I really wish it was that comfortable to sit in frost one, it would totally change Defense games for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasumi- Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 +1 And instead of having his energy color affect the globe wind, have it affect the color of the globe itself (but dulled down so we can see through it without problems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzpian Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why not make an option to turn it on/off instead? I like the wind effect myself but I totally understand your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummifighter Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Get black energy :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trichouette Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Get black energy :p Exact, a very dark energy color make the wind invisible, and can even make the globe itself close to invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoeskioeh Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Exact, a very dark energy color make the wind invisible, and can even make the globe itself close to invisible. Our Frost's response(*) to that exact suggestion: "I'm a Frost! I deal in snow and ice, not a chimney sweeper throwing tar bubbles!" :-D (*) not 100% verbatim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) ya, at least tone it down a bit. i am forced to use black/really dark energy color, which i dont like on my frost. Edited January 28, 2015 by Eric1738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egregiousRac Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Snowglobe needs a serious graphical overhaul at this point. Both Nullifiers and Ice Eximus have far better looking globes without the giant hole in the roof or the blinding wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira_him Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 black color is just bandaid +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaokasalis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Using a black energy colour is not a solution but just a temporary fix. It would be nice if DE made a new animation for the snow inside the globe that makes it easier to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second_Measure Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The 'wind' appears to travel horizontally 90° left and right from the point where Frost did looked to when he deploys the globe. So a clever one could position himself before putting up one. For instance in Void T Defenses, squeeze your face onto the side of the pod then cast one.

Shimonoki_Ryuji Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 On lower-end PC-s that snow effect does affect FPS, so i have a dark blue energy, which makes the snow almost invisible (for the sake of seeing it better) Tho, i like the way it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMAGGOTxX Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 +1. This has actually affected my gameplay and accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racercowboy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 +1 I like using snowglobe a lot, but I feel bad when I blind teammates (I use a light-blue energy color, matches my color scheme too well to switch). If this were to happen, sacrificing style for functionality would not be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)IkariWarrior83 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Could this possibly be a graphical option? I like having it so I know kind of where the "edge" of the dome is, but I agree it's obnoxious when you're not the one casting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd love to not have to use a certain color just so I can see better in my globe. I like how they toned down Ember's Fire Blast, maybe they can do something similar for frost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHorseman Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Honestly I don't even know why we have wind inside of a Snow Globe. If anything, I would've expected it to be falling snowflakes, since that's actually what's in a snow globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archistopheles Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I would've expected it to be falling snowflakes, since that's actually what's in a snow globe. It'd also be filled with water or oil, depending on what part of the world you're from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHorseman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It'd also be filled with water or oil, depending on what part of the world you're from. Haha, though that'd be fun, let's just keep it to snowflakes, for the sake of being able to actually be in the globe to take haven or defend that position.

faustias Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I actually want my golden wind on Snow Globe not affect my FPS... I still wanna see the windy effect, so an option to tone it down, like transparency, is a nice thing to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taiiat Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 since it's called Snowglobe, why not have Snow that falls vertically? like what it looks like for most people when they go outside at this time a year. a nice pleasant sprinkle of Snow falling. and just like pleasant falling of snow, the effect would be slower. snow falling, not sandblasting. rather than some sort of silly snowstorm that is more annoying that visually pleasant.

BlueAnchorite Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Giving this a little thought, why not instead move the wind to swirl around the bottom of the orb, on the outside? Make it appear from around waist height to emanate from the orb and swirl around and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un0s Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Now with the Rift Sigil, can we PLEASE make the wind effect go away (or tone it down a bit)... so that I can use other energy color other than DARK/BLACK color!!!!!!! God, it is so annoying that I cannot see my Rift Sigil effect on Frost just because the stupid Dark energy color I am forced to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
