    I've not looked closely at all the "casting emotes" that we have for mages, but I did notice the new change to the Healing Touch "casting emote" and whoever thought it up - needs a raise. ;)

    I really like it. :)

    The first time I noticed it I remember saying to myself: "Not THAT'S magic" !

    Check it out, HD/Full screen:



    Congratulations on a job well done! :)

    To benefit those of us that want cloak equipment but don't want to always have one visibly flowing?

    FrostII and SeleneNoctua, I am very happy that you noticed and like the casting animation changes that I made. I do plan to get more diverse down the road with more unique casting animations for offensive spells and other types of spells. Thanks for the kind words!

    Also, I should note that the particle effects for these spells are thanks to Finn!

    I concur. These animations were a big improvement over the previous ones we had.

    This is just silly. We do not have any stuffed dogs in this game.

    Anything with glimmer, sparkles, and death rays has got my approval. Great improvement. Looks fantastic.

    I know this will take time, but just to ask, will you be replacing all the casting animations? I would LOVE to get rid of the old "dropping a deuce" casting animation once and for all.

    I think that's kinda the goal. While every single spell won't necessarily have its own unique animation (some will be recycled animations for similar types of spells), I would like to get some more variety and detail into the spell casting so that magic feels more polished overall.

    Good to know.

    Also, @Finn Staber, can we get some sort of re-do for Obsidian Arrow so that we can actually know we're casting a magic spell instead of a default arrow? (I know I've asked this before, but just wanted to do it where there's a reference point)

    While you're at it, if there's a chance to optionally remove the huge casting icons above the head of the caster, even if it's client side/my view only, that would be ideal. I don't care if other people get to see it, that's fine.
    I recognize some people love a 1.5m animated glowing icon over their head every time they cast, but I'd like the option to turn it off, if possible. :D
