Title: Your favorite weapon?
Post by: spike-balll on December 30, 2010, 04:28:50 AM
hi I was just wondering what everyone's favorite weapon was and why it has to be something you own and/or used. mine is the katana because it is fast.

also can someone please post the new IS icon?

Hmm... My favourite weapon would probably have to be the Spire Dagger. It is VERY fast and I can attack about 4 times in a second. That's about the equivalent to 2 GS hits per second. Although I stam in about 10-15 hits from it :/

It's gotta be inferno sword for sure. Very powerful, great range, hits up to three targets and it's looks f'in awesome!

I don't quite like the fire effect on the new IS icon. The grey parts are pretty neat though, gives the impression of a frame containing napalm or something. Fire is something best done with animation/transparency, and I kind of prefer the old one's fire effect.

My favorites weapon that I have is Spire, but snowball is pretty cool. With IS/Slasher/LSB, I'm sure my opinion would change though.

Enlarged inferno icon for your viewage.

Yeah I enlarged it myself, it looks fantastic like that, but I can't help but say there's something about the white down the middle that bothers me when I look at it at its normal size.

Well, clearly the point was made that it is too big for the inventory slot...so I'll list a few other problems of mine with it: (And let me just note before flaming starts, this is merely a critique of the sprite itself, and since I don't own, never will own, and even if I did own an IS, I would not care. Also not like my opinion as any bearing anyways as the sprite will remain as it is, but humor me while I throw this into open wind.)

*The dark and light gray portions of the blade do not blend well with the red/orange/flame color counterpart.
*It looks proportionally awkward in addition to being a bigger sprite in general because in actuality the weapon is just very slightly if at all larger than the GS, who's icon isn't nearly as bulky.
*The flame colors kind of dramatically change between red and very light orange. A contrast of colors more similar to the IS itself would probably look better.
*It's not necessarily bad that the flames dramatically flow out to one side, but seeing as it is an icon, some of the awkwardness may come from the aspect it was portrayed this way, though this I am not for certain.

While I do like the fact this new icon is bigger than it's smaller counterpart, making the IS look more like the significant weapon it really is, it appears to be more sloppy and awkward at eye-level. Fact of the matter is the sprite itself isn't necessarily bad once you zoom in and check it out, but the fact that you have to do that kind of resembles the lack of flow this one has that the old one did have.



Don't get me wrong, Chaos is a !@#$ing boss spriter, no doubt, I would just classify this as not not his best work?

So that would be my own personal comparison between the new and old icon, but in the end it's just an icon so it's like equivalent to a piece of dust, so if this turns out to be a topic that is going to turn into a flame war (no pun intended), I'm not interested, but I guess we will see what happens....

The old icon was a faux Short Sword with crappy flames added, the new icon isn't completely representative of the IS, but is a fantastic sprite and suits it better than the old one. The old one was Horrible with a capital H.

I would've preferred Pwnage's version be added(heck, to all the icons that needed reworking that he made, wish he had done a Wooden Hammer one too) since that one was perfectly spot on & COMPLETELY the same as the actual sprite, but this works well, too.

Just be glad Chaos took the time to make a new icon at all.

Well, if Pwnage can find them and repost them, I could talk to Meiun about implementing some of them instead.  Those who think my sprite looks off, I can at least grant you being perceptive.  It is neither made for SO nor a recent work.

Some of you may remember this sprite from about...3 years ago?

Thought I'd make some use of it, since the original Inferno icon was pretty sucky.

Agreed. Those sprites would be much better for Stick Online.

Although I still do prefer the insane look of Chaos'es IS. Then again I'm not a spriter. What do I know?

I think the IS icon is really weird it just doesn't really match SO's other icon's it's just not the same style. But I do haft to say I like it better than the last one  :P. But i really like Mr. pwnages IS the red one without flames because maybe that's what it looks like before you swing it then it lights on fire when you swing it. It would also make more since that way cause then it wouldn't burn a hole in your pocket  :D. Please don't flame there is no point and everyone has there own opinion's just tell me what you think  ;D

Haha chaos, I do indeed remember that sprite now that you post it. No idea that was where the new icon originated from. Wasn't that a former avatar of yours?
