How to Tell What a Skill Gem Is by the Art

Perhaps exist a fleck more than specific with your feedback :P ? I'thousand happy to come across my feedback coming to life, I just wanted to point out that conversion gem such as common cold to burn down have dubious colour blueprint (a double pointing pointer in a reddish precious stone is better than dual colour). Also there is a lot of QQ'ing on suport stardom, and then I'd say, make the details in silver for support gems, instead of gold. That gem is mostly red, so you can safely assume it's a red gem. Too, it's cold to fire, and the simply gem that looks like that, yous see it once y'all should know what it is every time after. There is no change needed, and I would like to run into more skills look like that when needed. Equally for crying about the differences between skill and support, skills use the same old gem with a gilt overlay, the back up gems have dissimilar shaped gems, most are round. It'southward still very like shooting fish in a barrel to tell which are which. There is no legitimate complaints about them tbh, information technology's merely people being illogical retards and saying shit like "tin can't tell differences between back up and skills" or "this single gem has two colours and means I will never be able to know whether or non it'due south reddish or blue, for no apparent reason" or "information technology'due south too hard to tell which gems are which because I have the IQ of a donkey, before they was easier to tell apart because they all looked the same, hurrrrrr", or they are whining for the sake of whining. I actually promise GGG doesn't requite in to people existence retards and wastes time on changing half of these gems. I agree they need to be a higher resolution, but that'south near it. And the only gem I take seen that doesn't wait right is fork. Last edited by oBLACKIECHANo on Feb fourteen, 2013, v:58:08 AM	Posted by oBLACKIECHANo on February 14, 2013, 5:55:34 AM Quote this Post
I enjoy the new gem artwork from an aesthetic and lore perspective. Ane of my offset comments in game was that I'd love to take a poster version of all the gem types. However, from a purely functional UI point of view, I tin empathise the idea behind some of the posts disquisitional of the modify. I believe the main concern is the lack of consistency or transference of the various style/designs. This makes it more challenging for new players to classify the skills or for the obsessive compulsive organizers to extract any sort of regularity. Information technology goes to show that the jewel fine art is unique, every bit this is clearly what people are challenging. I like the uniqueness, and I recall, over time, having a unique icon for each and every skill gem volition make it much easier for players similar myself, who are capable of distinguishing all the detailed features at a glance, to know what I have in my stash at any time. For others, it becomes a curse because they will never be able to associate the unique style with the gem, and all they come across are a bunch of things they still need to hover over to know what they are... ░░░░░░░░▄▄▄▀▀▀▄▄███▄░░░░░ ░░░░░▄▀▀░░░░░░░▐░▀██▌░░░░ ░░░▄▀░░░░▄▄███░▌▀▀░▀█░░░░ ░░▄█░░▄▀▀▒▒▒▒▒▄▐░░░░█▌░░░ ░▐█▀▄▀▄▄▄▄▀▀▀▀▌░░░░░▐█▄░░ RIP Le Toucan	Posted by Garr0t on Feb 14, 2013, 6:33:33 AM Blastoff Fellow member Quote this Post

" At that place is no legitimate complaints about them tbh, it's just people existence illogical retards and maxim shit like "tin can't tell differences between support and skills" or "this single gem has two colours and ways I will never be able to know whether or not it'south scarlet or blue, for no apparent reason" or "it's too hard to tell which gems are which because I have the IQ of a donkey, before they was easier to tell apart because they all looked the same, hurrrrrr", or they are whining for the sake of whining. I really hope GGG doesn't give in to people being retards and wastes fourth dimension on irresolute half of these gems. I concur they demand to be a higher resolution, but that's about it. And the only gem I accept seen that doesn't await right is fork. I would forum ban you lot during 1 week if I would be a moderator lol. Stay polite a minimum. Nosotros come from different state and our icon significations are dissimilar. Every culture accept their own way to imagine/draw everything. I'k from Quebec and seriously for me it'due south just a consummate mess. I'm a visual person but those gems injure my eyes. I don't know why someone had to blueprint images for every gems I don't catch it. A precious stone is a gem and a jewel on a ring is a precious stone on a ring... They wait like gems nosotros put on a ring, a jewellery... " For others, it becomes a curse because they will never be able to associate the unique way with the gem, and all they meet are a bunch of things they still demand to hover over to know what they are... It's my instance lol. I'll take to hover them all for a couple weeks mayhap months. I'll simply look at the precious stone lv... " it's a change, people will cry. Nosotros cried when they modified the gems colour on items within our inventory and they modified them to accommodate players. Information technology's still a beta, it's the right fourth dimension to cry :P	Posted past destrock on February fourteen, 2013, 8:00:23 AM Quote this Post
I like very much the idea of existence able to tell which gems are exactly the aforementioned, but still find the new designs messy. Probably I would have gone myself with uncomplicated icons on the side of each precious stone representing what they are, but probably it would brake the design menstruation in the game. Is not easy to come with a viable graphic thought that could work good on classificating so many gem type without being overwhelming, and fitting into the world design at the same time. The devs accept my appreciation for the effort.	Posted by Ophis on February 14, 2013, 8:28:35 AM Quote this Post

I accept Aspergers, LLI, and an IQ of about 160. My EQ is non-real. Just that doesn't change anything, anyone could spend x-20 minutes learning the different gems, or they would get used to them over time. And if for some ridiculous reason they couldn't, and then what? To them, it will be the aforementioned as it was before, having to mouse over every gem to discover out what it is. Every bit the difference between skills and supports are however clearly obvious. So once again, there is legitimate complaints outside of resolution and a few gems not representing the skill well.
