DreamingShad Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Do you guys agree? I know the devs don't announce things like this until they are actually complete, which I understand why 100%. We may never know we're getting Wind control until it's actually in the patch Notes, but I think it would be awesome and the set was pretty much completed already to my understanding. So, if we can get enough up votes or attention on this power set perhaps it will be there in the future. just want to keep this powerset/topic on the forefront. 🙂 Edited October 25, 2020 by DreamingShad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrudeVileTerror Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Control is in dire need of new Sets, but honestly . . . I was never on board with Wind Control. There are so many more interesting ideas for Control Sets as far as I'm concerned. @Tyrannical has a bunch listed in the eco-friendly thread: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/13484-eco-friendly-powerset-recycling/ To be clear, I'm not -against- Wind Control. I just don't think it's particularly interesting. If it were the next Set released after Sonic Manipulation, I wouldn't complain, but I'll continue to hope that something more interesting would get priority. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemystic Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I was considering working on a way to do Wind Control's visuals in my thread, but I don't think it'd really be the place. But, since the opportunity has come up, I'll share what I have here instead! - Updraft: This one is fairly easy, we simply use the 'armor up' FX of Ice Armor, with the swirling winds rising up, and adding in some dust/cloud FX over it. - Downdraft: The above, but reversed - Breathless: A little more difficult, we re-use the 'Shadow Field' FX from Dark Control (with more dust particles), and have a similar swirling field over each foes' head. Again, more dust/cloud FX to help separate it from dark. - Wind Shear: Similar to breathless, but centred on the player, with the Hurricane FX swirling around your feet. - Thundergust: We can do this using a smaller verison of the 'Gust' FX from Storm Summoning. - Microburst: For this one, we use a faster version of Dark Control's 'Heart of Darkness' with a brief Hurricane FX bursting out along with it. - Keening Winds: Similar to Beathless, only with a heavy cloud in the middle. - Vacuum: We can probably do this by making a wide version of the Tornado FX, and having each foe suspended in the air with the Updraft FX. - Vortex: This is a little harder, we could probably make a floating orb that uses a combination of the Shadow Field and Hurricane FX, but much smaller.

Fairly certain wind control is already in the game coding, it's just not in game yet. If you take a look over on WeHaveCake, they have it there. If memory serves me correctly, the head Dev over there told me that it was already in game, it simply was not implemented yet. Soooo...he implemented it. That's *if* memory serves me correctly when we were talking about it. So until we know for fact, take that with a grain of salt.

The data is there, but unfortunately the visual/animation assets are not. WeHaveCake/Thunderspy have a semi-functioning version, but it's not exactly... pretty. I think it was another in a long line of demo projects that showcased the possibilities, but never really delivered the goods.
