    I wouldn't change the animations but update how the construts look themselves sure make the yellows look more fearful and evil like for example the train or something make it stand out from the will side. I know its easier said than done as well. They are cool but the constructs could look cooler...I'm in no hurry for that they can work on it after they update what the power can do first.

    Exactly Antwoman. When I said change animations I didn't flat out mean entirely different animations. I just want them to be tweaked a bit like how they made light blast actually look like a blast now instead of a little beam

    Yeah I was always thinking why the fear side didn't look more fearful. I mean I know a train coming at me is fearful enough but an evil looking train with spikes and an skull on the front thats will cause more fear.

    agreed, it lacks creativity, and imagination, power tree could have extras to select from that do the same exact buff or debuff , could be an option for future game play.. if they want to buckle down on it and do it that is.. trolls get dumped on most of the time anyway being considered a personal battery and all by dps that cant seem to do anything except dump power trying to reach the top of the score card, it wouldnt help that , but it would be nice to have more eye candy to make up for it.. lol..

    why not? its not an impossible task to make something new... a spiked wrecking ball on a chain? yo yo that thing around a lil bit.. giant morning star chain whip for stuns or dbuffs? you are on point actually it can be done.. getting the folks to do it is the issue..

    New animations are always fun. Think I'd rather have new powers instead though.

    I agree but I figured asking for animation tweaks would be more do able

    I just posted this idea in another thread, it relates to this so I'' quote it here.


    This could be a money maker and breath cosmetic life into Hardlight. Also make it more lore friendly

    I would for sure drop a few bucks for some new skins on the constructs.

    DC would make a fortune of me if they implemented that.

    I might agree and not agree with this idea.

    First, there are old constructs on HL since the launch of this power.. After a few GUs some animations & construct have been changing during time..

    Hard Light itself is fine.. in perfomance, numbers & graphics terms.. but i know there a few people that may want new constructs, to make HL funnier than actually is. I CAN AGREE WITH THIS..

    I'm only scared about editing these constructs & perfomance get touched by accident. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS.

    I dont think changing/beefing up our constructs would affect anything performance wise.

    well animations are great, damage is low so what they need to make with HL is to increase damage on the next gu50.

    if they have the WILL their is a way... (phhht get it Will Power) yea... that was bad one.. the animations Sinestro tosses out, can be used for the evil side of the game..
    it can be done.. from atari i had an atari when they came out in the 80s, till now what is being done on video games now days is insane, from the graphics, back ground & clouds to the water effects (which bog down a system) gaming has evolved, so yea.. it can be done.. not just in theory.. it all depends on if the folks at the studio wanna put forth the effort..

    The last thing anyone in DCUO is worrying about is new light animations-_-

    Do not speak for everyone. Also, I don't see why giving hard light some newer more beefed up lantern animations would cause any harm or be extremely time consuming. Again, Hl has had the same constructs since its launch. Almost all the other launch powers such as fire, Ice, mental, and gadgets got new animations so I figured since Hl was the first DLC power it would be next in line for it.

    Well, HL probably has the fanciest anims in-game with constructs and all.

    Honestly, if there's a power that needs an animation update. It's mental.
