That two years thing isn't that far off the mark.
Staff were talking about redoing the spells for about that long before anything happened.
I remember, about a year ago now, that Stefan asked me directly to work on spell animations, which i happily went about doing. I had wanted to before anyways, because i thought most of them sucked. I went on to make a list of all the current animations for all the spells (released or not) and how they could be improved.
After two-three days of working on that, I posted it on the forums (Gk dev forum) for other staff to make comments on, and asked if someone could help me with graphics. All i needed was very simple graphics, such as a recolor here, a white circle there, a line, a semicircle, etc. since I had no way of doing transparency. I asked several times over the next few months, as well as bugged people on RC about it, but to no avail. I was ignored every time, and thus, couldn't complete the project. I made a few animations using graphics I found elsewhere, but none of them were ever used. (ex: divine shock / ball lightning, burning hands, firebolt, laming aura)
There's a lot of activity on Debug (or at least was while i still had debug acces... I was removed from global for not being able to log on (actual: they didn't know where i went... yet i left a note in.. three places? -.-), and i'm sure things have changed a bit. Anyways, there was a lot of activity on debug, though most of it consisted of talking and idling. >.>
Those that actually did work were ignored for the most part.
I hate to rant like this, but things do need to change.
What I find ironic is the fact that there are UC (invisible) servers that have more activity and less corruption than Graal's official pay server.
That says something. |
