What about SpellFX/anims

[Eeowan]

any news about new spell fx and anims ? or VG released with year 2000spellfxs ? even more more sux then WoW ?

To date, most of the spell effects have been far worse than WoW. Honestly, I think EQ has the best spell effects going.

That being said, I have seen a FEW spell effects recently that look pretty damn good. Hopefully what we've been seeing so far in Beta are placeholders and the graphics will continue to improve.

no one knows ? :(

Almost all of the spell effects you see in game have been around since I started participating in beta 2.5 Brad has said on multiple occasions that these are still temporary. They, according to him, have a team of artists concentrating on new spell effects and particle effects through out the game. So keep your chin up, its getting better every day.

I like cool spell effects. The only problem with them is in raids though. At least in EQ2..a lot of people had to either face a wall or turn the spell effects almost off... So much crap was going off in a fight that it was like the 4th of July.....lag would get really bad. I would like to see more cool effects added in the near future though, and an option to turn them down if needed.

if there will be 2 choices would be nice...
1 - New FX -like eq2 fx-
2 - Old FX -current fx-
u can chose one of them :) (@ launchpad screen)

Yeah they should definitely get on the ball with the spell FX. My Psi is missing several - all I get is some arm waving animation and that's it.
