Feedback and Suggestions (Path of Exile 1) - Disabling the heralds visual effect (glowing hands) - Forum

" KorgothBG wrote: Same for me ... i actually never use tempest shield because of the visual effect .... heralds are not as bad but i'd still prefer to be able to turn the visal effect off. Not to mention that it pops-out of your shield... Yeah, absolutely. I wouldn't even mind them so much if they didn't clip through your gear so badly.

I already made a thread about this so I totally agree... Why bother buying MTX and effects when they are drowned in cluster fuck herald glows? If youre not gonna give us an option to turn it off atlease remake them so that they arent that overwhelming.	Posted by Cosma#7792 on Apr 20, 2015, 5:32:53 AM Quote this Post

+1 on this! Even tho I'm have fire based char with inferno skull and fire weapon MTX I kinda have to use HoT and HoI since theyp rovide bigger dps bonus than HoF. I'd rather not see the effect on gloves.	Posted by Diphal#5777 on Apr 20, 2015, 8:09:02 AM Quote this Post
+1 No point in having cool, themed MTX characters if you can't really customize your effects... : - (. Not sure about PvP (this shouldn't matter all that much, I suppose), but lets say that it is disabled for PvP, and can be enabled outside of PvP... dunno. I'm trying to build cool looking character, but these heralds I'm using simply do not fit... and I doubt most people want to build lightning/ice themed characters only. :< Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance. Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.	Posted by Perq#4049 on Apr 20, 2015, 8:37:45 AM Quote this Post
/signed I think this has been asked multiple times though :/, i see no reason why it is now more relevant then at other times. Peace, -Boem- Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes	Posted by Boem#2861 on Apr 20, 2015, 8:48:01 AM On Probation Quote this Post
I'll repost my own thread in the arts feedback section. " I like the effects of the heralds, but I do have some issues with it. 1. Brightness - individually, each herald is not an issue. Together with 1 or more, especially with Herald of Thunder, they get extremely bright and hard to look at. Please reduce the brightness of these effects. 2. Size - Herald of Thunder is the biggest offender here, but also applies to the other two heralds. When activated, small weapons like wands, claws, daggers, and scepters simply get swallowed up by the heralds. Putting on weapon mtx doesn't make a difference. Combined together, you can't even see your weapons without buying a bigger weapon skin mtx. I hope this gets looked at. Heralds need to be less bright and less conspicuous as they are. For reference, here's my character with all 3 heralds activated. You can barely see my claw with an Acid Weapon effect on it. Spoiler Maybe I should start to post everything I want changed in Feedback because it'll get more views.

while i agree that heralds a tad too bright on that screenshot.. .. i find it funny to complain about bit of bling while having antlers the size of a small car over ones head :)	Posted by sidtherat#1310 on Apr 20, 2015, 1:35:02 PM Quote this Post

Also I put the Antler Horns mtx on top of the verdant helmet for some antler-ception. But yes, having to look at small suns that clip through shields and eclipse small weapons is bad and needs a change.
