World Item Particles. [60+ Supporter] [now With Mythics!]

Hello all,
i'm here to talk about a simple add on to the game. particle effects for items.

What are particle effects?
simply, particles around items and such so you can tell what they are before even picking them up.
What items have effects and what do they look like?
Unique - A few small yellow clouds around the item.

Spoiler: Unique

Rare - For rare items there will be some small sparks as well as some light purple clouds.

Spoiler: Rare

Legendary - A few sparks and cyan clouds also with water drip effect.

Spoiler: Legendary

Mythic - lavadrip particles with flame animation that move* and sparks.

Spoiler: Mystic

*flame particles that are attached to bats so whilst the bats(witch are invisble) are flying, the flame particles spawn at there location.

Quest Items - Quest items have green sparks around them.

Spoiler: Quest Items

There are no effects for junk/non-unique items.

NOTE: these particle effects can always be changed! :)

thanks,

Interesting idea! Would certainly ensure that no legendary items are left un-scrabbled for!

 

Good idea, tho I think there could be a Problem with the default-server-particle cap... Also, it would take quiet a bit of RAM, because particles are not the smoothest thing in MC...

 

Nice, I think that would make the feeling a lot better.

 

you could always disable particles

 

Yeah that's what I'm concerned about too..

However..

You would finally be able to see the worth of some shears lying on the ground just by looking at it! :D
-> Sure, why not?

 

We need an "Absolutely!" poll choice... ;-;

I love it. Good idea! +1

 

thanks! and have fun! ~gaben

Now with unushuls
Fucking evreywhere

 

Alive!!! (shameless bump.)

 

I like this idea. The staff could add a command for players: /toggle particles. One suggestion: you should add mythic particles that are red or so. Mythic items are the new, super rare tier of item.

 

yea I was thinking about doing that :D

 

On one side, I really like this idea. It gives a feeling of excitement when you see an item lying on the floor with blue particles (What about Mythics, by the way?)

On the other, it kind of removes the thing I love most about the new item system - The randomness. It feels a little like a CS:GO Crate opening when you go to an identifier, you don't know what you've got (unless you've got that item a lot of times before and recognise it from it's rarity and level range), and it's always exciting to mouse over a selection of rewarded loot you've been given. Knowing it's rarity in advance kinda spoils that, as you could specifically aim to get Legendaries only, and leave the unique items behind. It's nice to roll the dice and see if you've found a legendary (Plus, it really turns into a CS:GO Crate opening when you find a Mythic!).

I'll give you support, as I like the overall idea and you've clearly put quite a bit of effort into it unlike some other threads in General Suggestions (*cough* "Reduce lag" *cough*)

Amazing yet simplistic idea! Although where are the mythics? :I

Maybe they should have like... those ender particles with the angry villager particles or something.

 

the idea isn't totally bad, but many People are complaining about laag, and it'S not a big deal picking up all items and looking on their description

 

+Added mythic particles.

 

This would be so good. Grinding in the herb cave and you have an inv full of emeralds and you see an item and you dont know if you should pick it up or it it's not worth it

 

bumb? more like a body slam.

 

and disable spell visibility too, which some people don't want
----
some people are OK with spells and don't lag much, but these new particles could be their breaking point

 

This would take away the feeling from many classic mmos where you really dont know what the gear is until you pick it up. It really hypes you up when you could be getting a legendary item.
