New visual effects for Railgun and Isida

To be completely honest, these new effects for some reason just make me think "Revenge of the Noodles."  Railgun looks like a drawn out piece of spaghetti, while Isidia just looks. . . wrong.  Either it's a big noodle, or (with the red M3 especially), like a demonic dog is trying to lick you.  Back with the old effect, Isida used to really scare me, but now I just stare at it in bewilderment thinking "what harm can a noodle/tongue cause?"  Obviously with any new update people are going to be nostalgic and think that the old effects were better, but in this case, I really do think that the new effect need some work.

 

How would I make them better?  For Isida (which needs the most work), I'd say make it thinner, as many people have suggested.  After all, they're nano-bots, which means that they would be very small.  Therefore, you wouldn't need a huge stream of them to be effective.  I think that the original Isida would be too thin, but somewhere in between what we have now and what we used to have would look a lot better.  Otherwise, I might start calling the turret "Isidog". . .

A railgun doesn't fire "electromagnetic projectiles." A railgun use electro magnets to fire an object which responds to magnetism. There is a significant difference.

Quoted a post posted 3 days ago. But seriously this guy is correct.

It was really cool to see the blue/purple/gold shot of railgun hitting the other tanks.. You'd think "wow!" 

 

Now when I see a railgun hitting another tank, I just feel.. Meh. Waves hitting a tank? seriously... so lame

I thought railgun would shoot a straight shot with someting going around it together with it. Now it seems like something similar but with that something going like a snake left and right but not over and under.

Railgun Effect: Like it!

Isida Effect: Reminds me of rainbows. I think it would look much better if it was narrower. Also, I suppose the nano-bots are supposed to be the "white dots" in the "stream of flowing nano-bots", so I think it would look more realistic if they were gray or maybe black, since, to me, they look like sparkles.

Isida's new effect makes it look weak while it's shooting at an enemy tank, but when healing, it is the best that it could be. The only problem is that you can't really tell the difference in modifications while it's healing. The Railgun effect is superb! I like it better than it was before! Hope this helped you guys! ^_^

I think the rail gun and its rifling effect would have looked exceptionally cool in a very light grey, or bluish grey. The yellow makes it look arcade like.

 

The M3 Isida looks like a Cool Whip when healing. And between healing and damaging like a couple of cheesy bathroom water taps and the effects often don't look right from certain angles. You can see square edges at times.

Bad, as usual.

 

Rail shooting now seems to throw a carnival streamer, while isida seems to serve a soft orange ice cream.

 

With all the potential improvements that urge, they work, furthermore badly, on a completely marginal thing.

 

Bah!
