We've made a new Burning Ground effect that doesn't hurt performance. Here's how it looks now.

Looks great, thanks guys.

And looks so much better than the one we have currently! :)

I was hoping this would be on GGG's docket list. The re-designed bearers don't hit performance at all (or not very much) compared to the old style. I was hoping we would see a re-design of the ground effects.

Waiting on ice and lightning (which takes a huge beating to my FPS) ^_^

Scorch Dearth.

I approve.

I liked older better, but this one is ok too, a bit cheap, but ok.

Yes this is what I was thinking as well, it works but the old one looks better and more dramatic.

GGG should just have a toggle in the options to set the level of effects.

I dunno. The old one has a lot of flames and sometimes it's on ground that has very little to burn, and there wasn't enough smoke to be realistic. This new one looks more like embers and smouldering rock, which fits most tilesets better and typically doesn't produce much smoke.

Can you tell us when the new character model / animation updates are coming?

Shocked and chilled ground next?

We do have plans to improve the other ground effects - not for 3.1.3 but later on.

Please do, the lightning ground thing looks awful, is distracting and very messy.

This is awesome! Thanks GGG

I did a map with chilled ground earlier and was getting around 20 fps... that would be a good one to get next. :)

TY GGG
