    Default Vengeance circle and dark light of the moon (circle from magus of the eclipse) color

    Both have almost the same size.
    Both have almost the same color.
    One kills the player.
    Other helps the player.

    So they shouldn´t be so similar. Many times vengeance circle is invisible to the player: Usually when it hits an uneven terrain but when both buffs are active is very confusing to the players that have little time to think if they should run from it or run to it. So please fix it.


    Solutions:
    Vengeance circle could have an vertical bar so players could see it or be 3D instead of 2D.
    Magus circle or vengeance circle should have a different color.
    Any other tip?

    Been saying that since day 1.

    The color/VFX of the Magus Circle should be changed, I don't even know how it has lasted this long.

    Impossible to tell each other apart in the midst of battle, especially if other AoEs are present.

    This is why communication is important.

    My server is Thelanis. Since update 50 client crashes 1 to 3 times a day. When it comes back even the chat don´t work. Usually we use discord to play DDO but not always we have all players there so yes, communication is something that still lacks in this mmo. Also not all players listen/speak for many diferent reasons so visual clues are needed.

    I don't think the concept of a vengeance circle is bad, but the implementation is bad. People die that aren't even in the circle because the visual and the actual area of danger aren't exactly the same. Sometimes they are up in the air and difficult to see. They blend with other effects and can be difficult to see in general.

    Very few vengeance reaper deaths are deserved and most of the challenge is dealing with deaths that should have not occurred in the first place.

    I would personally like to see circles replaced with something else, but it's not something I am super passionate about it. I've gotten by fine since they were introduced, I just think it's too much of a cross between grieving and challenge and would like to see it fully challenge.

    This. Significant minority of times I've gotten clear of the O yet still died due to lag too.
