Please Do Not Change Greensteel Appearence

[Sweyn]

The new greensteel appearence looks like it's a weapon from a random loot gen. I just don't like it. And for one, I cannot tell the difference between my Min II's and my Earthgrab Khopeshes. (Other than knowing where they are on the Hotbar)

Again... I see no reason to change things like this.

I guess you're talking about the icons. An old min2 is has a background that fades from white to green, indicating holy+acid. In U5 a min2 has a bright green background. Corresponding changes happened to other element based greensteel items.

this is an exceptional way to tell which greensteel weapons/items i have..

why would they change the colors?

Hell, i remember reading somewhere that said your weapon icon backgrounds are color coded to INDICATE what your weapon is. How is this the case when they become more confusing by becoming one color instead of single OR dual colors depending on the make of the greensteel..

and don't tell me it's due to the color blind. as soon as they make something, they can see the shade or it (if they are green/blue or w/e color blind type they are) THEY can tell the difference.

Min II items (and other greensteel items) should still have the gradient behind them. If your items are showing the flat green of acid, that's to be considered a bug.

They are, and it is.

There you go, should be fixed in time for update 16.

no the icons on your hot bar.


or am i misinterrpeting the OP?

I cannot log into Lam, (i've posted but to no avail in the Tech forums) to see for myself

To clarify..

This is what they look like on Hot bar. (Hotbar 1 slot 1 is Min II's, slot 3 is Earthgrab)


This is what they look like in Inventory. They are in the top left. The first one is earthgrab, the second one is Min II


Unless my eyes are bad.. i can't tell the difference

[Asketes]

that is ridiculous dude.

I haven't p*ssed or moaned much, but this seems a bit erroneous and a completely unjustified stab at making weapon sets easy to know which is which.

I mean, I'm not a big fan of changing d6 -> 1 to 6 points of damage, but why this change. how does this benefit anyone, player or server based.

it makes it incredibly easy to differentiate between the majority of the greensteel by having them be multi-colored like they currently are on the live servers

If i understood what Eladrin said, it's a bug. You can notice on greensteel items are the same, as well as my pos/pos warhammers

i thought Eladrin meant the graphic of the physical weapon, not the icon in the hotbar.

If that is the case, I apologize for my harsh words.

If not, why?
