Bolt Graphics

[Eanelder]

It wasn't mentioned in the Patch notes, or anywhere else on the boards that I can see, but bolt graphics have returned.

I know its not necessarily ground breaking but I've missed them and glad to see them back! Originally I thought the crazy blue sparkles was part of the event we were working on, and my jaw dropped to the floor when I realized what it was. Flare will have a permenant spot on my spell bar when Im not out fighing!

stupid looking orange ball from the pumkin tossing clicky is just plain dumb. I want Photon torpedo effect back.

maybe someone needs to send them some classic pics of the old photon torpedo so they can get it right....anyone have one?...

[Voragath]

Well, Jolt is a purple ball of electricity

I want Photon torpedo effect back.

While I loved the old graphic too, there was a downside. Remember watching those bolts go after a moving target, tracking along, then suddenly hit a rock or a tree and not the mob? I don't think anyone wants to go back to our nukes not hitting the mob when we cast!

err....bolts can still be blocked....you just dont see it!

[Merlaina]

I swear if I lose one more bolt to some slightly uneven ground I'm going to... to... nuke them again. *grumble grumble*

what makes me crazy is when you cast bolt, then fickle, on fickle you get the 'cant see your target' then you check on bolt and of course it didnt do any dmg because it got blocked

Yep, bolts basically need line of sight too, but instead of failing to cast when they don't, they just waste your time and mana. YAY! I remember the good old days when bolts were smart and could be fired around corners

They still can be fired around corners - just can't arc them quite as much as before. I do it all the time on VL.
