Necros mentioned in Hodgepoge

[Fayed]

When is there going to be an upgrade to bring Lifeburn into parity with cleric turn undead, mage 32k nukes, etc.? There's no comparison between lifeburn and turn undead/summoned. They are different things entirely. Lifeburn already scales with the users life so we don't have any intention at this time to upgrade it. If we were to upgrade it, it would have to be subject to manaburn style limitations to prevent the same problems manaburn originally had. [/b]

Are Necromancers going to get a new pet model other than Spectres and Skeletons? We don't have any plans at the moment to expand the necromancer pet repertoire beyond specters and skeletons. Adding some different pet models for all the pet classes is something we'd definitely like to do, though.

Ever consider giving the next Necro lich spell a new skeleton model that shows equipment like a normal player model? I like role playing aspect of being a skeleton but showing off a new robe might be nice once in awhile. We'd love to make that kind of a change, but it really goes hand in hand with new player models. It's something we'd like to do, but it's not feasible in the short term.

"Yeah...screw necros, omglol."

[Jebasiz]

I am really indiffrent about the Lifeburn upgrade but I would love to see new pet/lich skins. I thought i read a long time ago about how to change what ur spells look like when cast and Im not sure but i think its not limitted to that. the changes can only be seen on ur side but it would be nice to change it too whatever u wanted. I'll see if i cant remember how to do it or find the guide rotting somewhere on my comp. :ph34r:

Cosmetic changes would be nice, but while there's still other glaring issues that need to be addressed (see class issues, in case you've been living in a cave), I don't really care about seeing much of anything cosmetic happen. Besides, "bolt on" changes to the current graphic engine are pointless, rewrite it from the ground up so it's worth a crap.

By "bolt on", shadows is a perfect example of that. Anything short of the best hardware you can get on the market is going to be brought to it's knees by simply turning this feature on (a feature that has been in most 3D games for a couple years now, and is pretty lightweight as far as GPU power needed). Even running the best hardware you can get, using this feature is still rather pointless as it puts a very noticable dent in your framerate, and I'd rather see fluid motion instead of slideshows when I play.

Actually, Necro pet models have been updated more than any other classes. Mages have had one change. Necro's were first given spectre model. Then later they changed skele's from the awesomeness they were in original game to the craptasticness of Luclin. Then finally they were changed to what they are now.

I personally have no issues with the spectre's looks, just his sound. But I can see wanting him changed. But then, I would love for my mage to have elementals instead of the Efritti they they are now.

On other topics, I would love to see 2 versions of Lich. It would be nice to not have to have the skele graphic if you didn't want it.

Yeah, the pet model dosn't bother me too much. I never really pay attention anyways. I just hate the whole wind sound following me. But, whatever, I'll live.
