We are silent about how the micro transactions work because it pretty much hadn't been discussed :P Not because we are evilly scheming how to steal everyone's money War Z style.

With the weapon elemental effects : Yes I hope so. We just added the ability to add micro transaction effects to weapons so maybe this is somewhat related. A system however no doubt will need to be made for this. The only reason this hasn't been done is because our graphics/game feature programmer hasn't had the time. As you imagine bigger things have been on his list like : chat working for 30k people , Server stability and so on. Things much more important than light glows on weapons.

Also I don't know why that areas laggy. I suspect something on the programming optimization end needs to be looked at. I just do the effects so I cant really answer that question.

*edit*

Just adding that I do not make business decisions so no I do not know how the micro transactions will work. Though I believe it has been discussed recently.

I may be alone here (but I hope I'm not!), but I want to pay you money, buy some Poe Points, and turn my Whirling Blades purple and flamey. I'm not joking in the least bit. I want to do a Psycho Crusher, and don't lie to yourself, WB is Psycho Crusher and I love it. All it would take is a brief call for the burning effect without the damage associated, and a hue change on both the WB and newly-called burning effect making them purple. Bam, instant money. BAM.

Now I know what you're thinking, "although you're right LoJackATK, and quite handsome at that, it's too much of an expense to change only 1 skill. Nice work though." Well, how about this then, everything I stated above, but have it work similarly to how the shop weapon graphics work, just on a different (and more expensive! :D) scale, where the additional graphic and hue alterations are applied too all skills you use while you have the effect turned on (exactly the same as the cosmetic shop stuff). And if that's TOO broad, maybe constrict that which is effected to "skills classified as 'melee' get blah (purple sex flames), and skills classified as 'projectile' get bloop, etc...". My name is not Will, but for damn sure THERE IS A WAY!

Let me have another reason to give you my money.

Edit: I am far too excitable, and completely forgot about the current alt. skill effects. Now however, you have no reason for not doing this other than to make a grown man cry. For the price of just one skill graphic a month, you can help stop grown man tears. Together, we can put an end to this terrible epidemic. Together, we can make a difference.

Any chance of remaking the Ground Slam visual effect into something with more... pizazz?

As it is now, it's not very visceral. You limp-wrist your weapon into the ground, and an underwhelming-looking translucent texture appears on the ground.

My only idea for a rework is perhaps some kind of refractive wave (like a shockwave) that blasts from the point of impact.
