Suggestionthread for new spell skins

Hello.

I have a rather simple suggestion, wich you probably both have heard and thought of before, but either way i'd like to start a topic about it.

First off, i have no game designing experience whatsoever.


Throughout the time I have played PoE, i've come across a lot of builds that i have found to be very enjoyable, but with some of my favorite builds, i keep getting complaints that i make their clients too laggy to do higher level maps. I figure its not making everybody lag, since i'm not feeling it myself in particular.

A few examples of spells that people complain makes the client fps drop:
Incinerate on a totem with lesser/greater multiple protjectiles as support gem
Poison Arrow + Fire Traps
Explosive Arrow
Lightning Arrow
and of course the dual spark totems

-----
Would you be so kind to make some low-graphic spell-skins that people could get from microtransactions?
Again, with no programming experience I would be wrong to make suggestions on how to do it, but i'm sure it's doable.

I would even settle for an almost invisible incinerate skin ;)

Hope to get some replies, ideas or other peoples experiences

front page for sure

Alright, great responses everyone.

I can no longer map with the people i wanna map with, because they complain that my incinerate totems lag too much. After serveral characters done, where this has become the issue, you leave me no other choice than to find a new game to play :/

why don't you play a different character then? like split arrow? it is quite useless but at least your friends won't complain. or tell your friends to spend some money on really good systems. I think this is pretty much the answer from ggg.

I have been playing more or less every build in the game. I'm not interested in playing the game, if im not having fun with the build im playing (you would think this is obvious, however the majority of all players in this game still use dual spark totems)

The point is, i WAS really enjoying Incinerate - but for REGULAR people without super-computers it's pretty much unusable

Hey,

I have to agree with Rullegarden. The frame drops people are getting due to certain spells is a real problem. I thought getting a new pc would take care of the problem, make playing maps in a 6man group bearable, but i am now playing on lowest textures, no shadows, but the combination of summoners + ice arrow + burning patches etc. drop my fps like hell. These fps drops combined with thousands of spell effects flashing across the screen in all directions is starting to make me prone to epileptic seizures.

I doubt its in ggg's interest to just shove off a huge part of the community like that. Not everyone can afford a "really good system". I bought parts for 1000euros and still cant play with 6man groups reasonably let alone 4man groups. And this game is supposed to promote the freedom of building your character, but takes the freedom away by making loads of builds unusable for alot of people.

There should be some sort of possibility to tone down the spells for pc and eyes. I don't see a reason why this shouldnt be implemented. Wouldnt it be nice if u didnt get whined at and kicked from group for being a summoner/incinerate/icearrow etc?
