new celestia graphics

[rest]

I liked celestia, now I have to trash it.
WT* IS THAT!?

[Aliss7]

Well, I always thought celestia's blade had a DNFTBD look to it. This one seems to have no hilt. If you combined the two, and then kept to using only red/orange/(maybe some purple) hues, I think it'd look badass.

This just in:

A couple of things that I know that changed:
Celestia received a cosmetic update (it's super colorful now!)
Everyone should have received the Birthday Battle Box (the Birthday Gift should be in your inventory)

I don't think the fix for that Fatesinger/Epic Destiny bug was in this build, but I also didn't run into it again. (The fix will definitely make it to live)

Today's forecast: fabulous!

I could not read that last line without picturing and hearing someone with there hands in an almost clapping motion and a long "s" sound at the end.

Men in Tights style? Or Blazing Saddles? lol

As funny as it is, Celestia's tail colors really don't fit the sword's theme. I think the graphic is awesome but I would save it for a different sword. Maybe a RB themed one that has permahaste and on a vorpal creates a multicolored cacophony of damage.

Yeah, something along the 'Prismatic' theme...

"Backside bacon mist" is my new favorite phrase. Amazing!

Interesting.
This wasn't supposed to be in the Update 17 build. It must have piggybacked in with something else. Since Update 17 goes live soon, it's too late to take it out, unfortunately.

This is an early product of art work to create a "Brilliant Energy" weapon appearance, like the core 3.5 D&D weapon ability, to be used in future updates.

Sorry guys: We know this isn't working properly right now, and the weapon graphics for this can go away temporarily when zoning.

The final Brilliant Energy weapon type will likely not look like this- this was an early, internal work in progress.

We'll look into reverting this weapon to its prior appearance in a patch after Update 17, until Brilliant Energy weapon appearances are finished.

Awww... just logged in to see this in action, I actually found it pretty fun. The rainbow aspect is probably what bugs people the most, but the general theme of "you're wielding a beam of pure energy" is neat.

Still, looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with Brilliant Energy weapons. Though I hope you give it some significant improvements over the PnP version - that was by far the most overpriced effect (+4 equivalent) for an underwhelming ability (ignore armor and shield bonuses to enemy's AC) with a nasty side-effect to boot (can't harm constructs or undead).

I'm sure you'd run into some copyrights trouble if the lightbeam extended out whenever you pull it with a certain famous bzzzzzzzzt sound.

It gets worse. These are the bosses in some upcoming new content:

Now I don't feel so bad that I have not managed to pull one from CITW

Remember this guy's sword? Pure energy:



He just carried around a hilt.
