What is your opinion about new globes?
" Are you kidding me? The slaves poses were lascivious (and, as far as I can see, literally the only lascivious thing in the whole game), and their slim bodies in perfect condition screamed top models doing a slave/bdsm photoshoot, not slaves under an extremely cruel master. Seriously, compare them to the corpses and monsters in Piety's hideout. If an engraved skull chained to whatever that thing is is not grim or bleak, I have no idea what is. Certainly not soft erotica pictures, lol. " Skulls are common ornamentation in GW products. Lions are hardly that common. Attractive women used as ornamentation is hardly original. Please remove the chained naked women from the UI, thanks GGG!

There's a few minutes of discussion about 2/3rds of the way through the most recent Front Seat Gamer podcast where some of the GGG designers talk about the new globes, the reasons for the change, and how the skull and lion represent the theme of the game at this particular point of the game's evolution. Worth a listen.

" They were Lunaris and Solaris. Bound by time and representing life, death, day and night. They were the perfect choice for the health and mana globes. They were icons to this game. If you dislike them and want to construct some artificial drama well... go on. Have your fine share on the interwebz. :) I just hope we will get the option to change the UI. Would even throw some $ at them faces. What can never be lent or earned?
Somewhat, that devours everyone and everything: A tree that rush. A bird that sings. It eat bones and smite the hardest stones. Masticate every sword. Shatters every shrine. It defeat mighty kings and carry mountains on lightly wings. What am i? |

I liked the old artwork. It was nice.
I like nice things. The darkness looms forebodingly...

I was mildly disappointed when I logged in, and the familiar chained ladies were gone. I would certainly appreciate them coming back as an optional reskin to the UI, but then, I think multiple MT options for UI would be fantastic.
But the sheer amount of drama and vitriol this has generated is absolutely ludicrous. Last edited by FreydisWinterwolf#2541 on Jul 17, 2015, 3:09:46 PM

" With nothing, literally nothing at all about them representing day or night. Nothing associating them to life and death either. And if I remember my lore well, Lunaris is supposed to be associated with female and Solaris with male, but I am not sure about that. Basically that is all just bullshit you invented on the spot. " Bad icons then. I like the new ones better. Glad they were replaced. Please remove the chained naked women from the UI, thanks GGG!

" The old one was wayyyy better. No way you could prove otherwise. I'm sorry. |
|
" Everything, literally everything was connected with day and night. It is not our fault that you can't see the connection or appreciate the design. They were clearly better. They were clearly the best for the past 3 years and they will continue to be better than the other bullshit designs they come up, since they have become an actual a part of this game and its entire vision. |

" oh, its a reference to kaom's and lioneye battle. Now I see. though the relation to current expansion seems non-existant, its definitly related to the game Pity there's no explanation on the design of the previous one. (was it covered in the past?) Oblivious
