New FXs.

If you are 100% it does not bring inaccuracy.

[vongratz]

When several units are killed at the same time, the battlefield becomes very hard to read, you cannot distinguish AOE weapon fx like arty shots, or bomber drops from units explosions fx that are way bigger and flashier.

Wow , you had painted exactly a battlefield scenary!!!!
Well, Im very suspect, because Im fan of 4th Dimension Explosions mod in all cases....

i think that there are big explosions is cool, but bigger units should still have bigger explosions than smaller units.
maybe explosions of t1 units should be turned down a little and explosions of t2/t3 bumped up a little.

[VoiceofReason]

Yea its completely off to watch t1 explode as if a stratbomb and firebeetle with a touch of Crayola going off everytime

I totally don't like this.
Also the spawning explosion of the acu does not remove trees and other stuff anymore, ruining balance on some maps, because some ppl end up having to reclaim for ages before they can build anything,

Is it technically possible to make it as a visual option ?
Then no real debate, to each his own.

I would personally disable them.

i also had that a few times in recent games but it wasnt balance test mod! so i dont think the fancy explosions are the reason

[ICKEN]

i dont like it because its very disturbing. if you control + k something now it takes ages until the building is destoryed.

after you have spawned the trees arround your acu dont disapear. i dont like this too. i want a tree free area arround my acu
another thing i have noticed is that it takes longer to reclaim trees now. i am not sure about it but it felt different. also not good

Bigger boom does not equal better game.

Some of the effects are really nice, others are way over top. Personally I like the current explosions for T1-T3 units more, for me they just fit better to the "realistic" theme of FA.

At the end of the day an FX update will always be a good thing for the game, I have some free time at the moment and I'll see if I have the skills to tone some down.

I think an FX update IS needed, but maybe not THIS one.

What are people's opinion on an FXbupdate in general? Personally I believe it's a great idea, the FX are slightly old, and new FX gives a REALLY good impression of the game being worked on and improved. (On the PA forums people still talk about it as simply a balance MOD -_-)
