[2021] Updating the Druid Class's Transform Abilities

We’re working on the Druid class! While much of this work is being done by our development team, the artists are pitching in with all-new models being created for both Werebear Form and Spriggan Form. These will be accompanied by new animations and visual effects, bringing these up to more modern standards such as those enjoyed by the Rogue class.

Werebear Form is being made to look like a larger, sturdier, and more realistic shapeshifted form (to the extent that shapeshifting can be made to look “realistic”). It will also be a significantly more detailed, higher quality model. Spriggan Form is being made to still look like a spriggan, but one that is being approximated by the spell cast by a human - it has a more human-looking face, and greenery resembling hair and a beard. Hostile spriggans are also getting visually updated, and their new model will look notably different from the one being used by Primalists.

Acolyte fans… you haven’t been forgotten.

That would’ve been done before these if it was up to me.

It’s not written in stone that we’ll definitely change the model - most such upgrades aren’t planned significantly in advance; we find the time and choose a high priority item to redo or improve at the time. We’re definitely aware that it has been a truly iconic skill in other ARPGs, and it’s not a model we were ever thrilled with. We’ll get around to it, I reckon.

We’ve been working on them!

We currently expect they’ll be introduced individually, but that could change. No ETA atm.

Oh, I heard someone say the devs are working on the Druid class.

I wonder if that could be related…

hey, how did you find out about that?
