While they make you glow, the cavebulbs themselves should glow in the caves.
It'd make them easier to see for people who don't use Pacho's nightvision, and would stay true to what they do.
Maybe a dim light blue glow, since I'm assuming the blue bulb part is what makes you glow.

That was the original intention, but the current system makes it unnecessarily hard to achieve that effect on cavebulbs. It is one of the things that I hope to remedy with the new object system.

Well, I hope this will lead to other things being able to glow, and more awesome effects.loftar wrote:That was the original intention, but the current system makes it unnecessarily hard to achieve that effect on cavebulbs. It is one of the things that I hope to remedy with the new object system.
...flaming swords maybe?

OK, maybe not swords, but flaming arrows and siege engine projectiles would look uber cool.

Yes. You guys created a silly skill, that was horribly hard to do, and utterly dangerous.jorb wrote:Remember what happened last time we tried something like this?Jfloyd wrote:...flaming swords maybe?

Dangerous? Not at all, just hide a windchime near someone's wall, pump it full with winds and forget about it.

Re: The glow of the Cavebulb
If you wanted your own super-high windblade (without the winds getting stolen or used against you), you'd have to keep the chimes somewhere safe; and somewhere safe would usually be somewhere within your palisade/wall. (Come to think of it, caves were probably awesome for that.)
Jorbtar, you guys should consider giving out a windblade instead of a cloak/cape every now and again.

No, they should consider giving them a windchime with high quality winds in it.
