Bugged graphics on storm drakes and Cold drakes. (Hatchling)

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

Classic lore states that BLUE dragons breathe lightning, WHITE dragons breathe cold. This has been staple lore for decades. Even classic TOME (T2) used blue dragons for lightning, and White for cold. Ditto for thunderlords too IIRC.

I T4, Shockbolt graphics are displaying the pale white graphics on STORM drakes, and the dark blue graphics on COLD drakes. I've noticed this for certain on hatchlings, not sure if it pertains to all other levels or maturity or not, yet. However, this is throwing me off immensely, and sounds like a 'misclick' when the graphics tiles were assigned. PLEASE PLEASE, switch these 2 back. If even T2 used the appropriate colors for certain dragons (as did SO many other locations in so many other games), it only makes sense to stick with the same versions here in T4...

If it bothers you so much, make an addon. Most people are used to the tiles as they are, and if you change it now, it's only going to be confusing people over a minor issue.

Btw, what exactly is this 'classic lore'? As far as I know, there is no continuity of lore between T2 and T4.

I suppose he means D&D.

I think they started it, but MOST rpg oriented games (Including T2) have continued with this color scheme. It just bugs me that it was changed from T2, and SEEMS like the change was just a misassignment of graphics tiles.

Yeah, I see what you mean. But I know DG and he probably couldn't care less for doing things the established way.

It's not really an argument. It's just "everyone else is doing it this way."

Why that bothers you so much, I don't understand.

[Frumple]

Being fair, the color scheme in ASCII does use blue for storm and white for cold. So there's something there. If by some strange anomaly I started playing tiles it'd probably confuse the buggery out of me for a while.

Yeah I dont care much either way personnaly, but people jsut got used to it this way, changing it would be quite nasty I believe.
And I'm not nasty
