The death animation/Phoenix

Looks good but I don't like it.
Player corpses are nice and I think many, here or not, might feel the same.

Also it's too Marvelly. There will ALWAYS be that connection, a connection that breaks the 4th wall and is immersion breaking.

Suggestion:
When a player dies let it be a simple death. Let the body hit the floor. Let us loot the body.
As soon as the player hits "Respawn" let the animation with the incineration and the ashes play for a few seconds and then let the player respawn somewhere with the phoenix wings. Maintains the lore.

I really enjoyed the first iteration of the death animation.

Did you just use "maintains the lore" as a justification for a change against what the developers want to do?

Disagree. It's incredible.

Did you miss the part where the burning and the ashes are completely related to the lore?

You could make that argument about literally anything fictional. Every idea has been utilized in some other content.

I like it. It is not the same as everything else.
Go back and rewatch the video. The whole thing is lore based.

I think it looks really good for a first iteration and fits the lore well. Hopefully they will keep it.

I thought the animation was fantastic and would much rather see that happen in PvP than a bunch of bodies on the ground.

George_Black

Seems so far people love it

Roko

I love the disintegration animation as well.

I really liked the death animation, it's quite unique and definitely fits the lore and even the name of the game.

The animation looks great, especially for the first iteration. Hopefully it takes a while to despawn because I'm looking forwards to seeing battlefields covered in the ashes of the fallen.

This is one of the cool little things I liked when playing WoW

After players revive their skeleton remains for a long time afterwards. Sometimes you'd walk into your city and see a mass of skeletons at the gate, showing the opposing faction failed at raiding your city.

It looks great imo and it fits the lore - but like i said in another post, that ash death animation could be a result of dying by a critical hit just like in ESO. This would be a good way to balance the likes and dislikes.

No... it's directly related to the lore. Why would the lore only function when you get crit? Let's leave the game designing to the developers.

Warth

Nobody cares about balancing the likes and dislikes.
If people don't like it, then they can suck it up. You don't need to please everybody. You don't want to please everybody.

Totally agree with you guys, but just shoutout incase devs change their mind and get too much complaints i just wanted to give a suggestion

I really liked the animation and the concept of death into the ashes. It looked amazing and was probably most exciting part of the stream. The spin they take with incorporating turning into a ash pile that people dust through in search of loot is pretty cool and I hope they will stick with that direction.

Jxshuwu

I really liked the animation! Its super cool and am super hyped to see it ingame.

Sexy_Fufu

I was really impressed with the death animation and I think that it looks incredible.
The devs really had a great idea and I love it. It goes well with the game's theme as well.
That's easily a 10 out of 10 from me.
