Redfeather.6401 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 I started playing mesmer this weekend... but purple gives me a headache and there is purple everywhere during fights. I would recolour magic to a soft green. What colours would you folks choose, or would you keep the default colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparrowHawk.9481 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 City of Heroes/Villains had this, where you could specify skill effects. It was really nice. Open them up to being dyed. I wouldn't mind seeing more diversity in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I like the magenta but if I had a choice I would change it to be a more pearlescent pastel pink (ie satin pink). :) In any case this would have to be pve only because it would cause too many problems in pvp and even wvw. UNLESS - the colour change in pvp/wvw can only be seen by the player, but appears as default colours for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, gw2hook (or reshade, on which it is based) probably allow you to adjust those colors a bit, to at least reduce the headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfeather.6401 Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I am too nervous to try something like that gw2hook, but thank you for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musu.9205 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 we just need to swap guard and mesmer color . for some reason , i feel this change will reduce a lot of hate towards mesmer in forum .players usually feel cheated if they are beaten by trickster type of class . making mesmer look more like some sort of justice war will help . and we will hear less of "how can that pink girly thief be best tank in game " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Boy.7138 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 A long time ago I made a post for Anet to put new class animation themes in the gem store. I wanted Black ravens for all my spell effects instead of pink butterflies, cause I think it would be cool to have an Itachi Uchiha theme. It got ignored :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got ignored :-( I like how in Path of Exile you can get alternate FX for skills. Making a totem look like a dragon statue or zombies look like mummies. It's fun to create a unique look for a little sense of roleplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas.3509 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd keep the default color forever, way to be mesmerizing! Maybe on Christmas I'd recolor to blue to fit the theme more, but not sure if I'd like it. It sucks if its giving you headaches though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicTurtle.8571 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd be a fan of a light green/teal sort of color and change the butterflies to dragonflies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroblizz.2790 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I would go for the more "Light" white/yellow color. But that is more paladin/templar like, but I dislike the purple sometimes aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boredinbc.2786 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Every class has a really specific ability colour scheme. It's a blessing and a curse in fashion wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearshaman.3421 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I'd go with an ocean blue. Mesmer is all about the mind, and the sky and water have often been used as metaphorical imagery for the mind, thoughts, emotions, etc. So I'd go with blue.

I wouldn't change the colors at all. Still, it's a shame the game doesn't have many options in this respect. Although if the headaches are a real deal breaker, I mean if you're really serious about getting rid of the purple without losing all measure of color information you can just skew the gamut through your video card control panel. Rotate about 165 degrees and mesmer effects become a soft green in-game.   Needless to say, changing one color **changes all of the colors.** Prepare your mental IFF, or you won't recognize danger until it bites you in the face. :joy: Genuine side-effects, your mileage may vary. > @"EpicTurtle.8571" said: > I'd be a fan of a light green/teal sort of color and change the butterflies to dragonflies > Teal is also possible if you tilt 275 degrees:  But the side-effect can be rather intense if you happen to be sensitive to purple, -all the warm colors- so I would not recommend it lol. _Such purple:_  :joy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Boy.7138 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 This is the second post I've seen like this recently. And I gotta say I'd love if more people started to post about this. Anet could make class effect themes a gemstore purchase. Cause as a mesmer, I'd kitten love to have black ravens instead of pink butterlies from all my shatters and attacks. edit: ohh this is the same post from a few weeks ago lol. anyways, make it happen anet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fomivee.3065 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I love purple so I would leave it as it is. Maybe adding an option to make it darker could help (click and drag zip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
