Death animation of Dark Templar

I get it, and it's cool. I like it

 

maybe he falls over, covers himself up, then his body turns into the spirit thing and flies away, instead of the spirit thing flying away then the body just pop.

 

I liked it although it reminded me a little bit of the huntresses in Diablo 2 (stony fields is where you first find them I think)

 

I like it right now, but I think it would look better if they burst into blue flames.

 

I think it would be cool if the animation for the DT's death was differen that that of the Zealots and HT. The Zealots and HT would co in a bllue flash with their spirit rising up and the DT shouldfade away into blackness.

Have some kind of short lived black maelstrom or something

 

nice idea bird! The dark templar are after all dark guys. When they die they should just fade away.. it would give them a really kool aspect! And i like the idea for the Zealotand the high templar to fall down and then just like turn into some blue energy and rise up.

 

That wouldn't make sense because the dark templar are exactly the same as the rest of the protoss. They're not dark at all, really. They're only called dark templar because they didn't accept the Khala and so they were rejected by the rest of the protoss who called them dark to mean that they were of lesser value, honor, prestige, etc.

 

I just like how he uncloacks before dying.

Other than that, I think the current death is ok. Sure, they could spruce it up with variations or flashier effects. really, the only thing is missing is a slow death, like the fall to the knee that everyone talks about.

 

Well wlck The difference is because the Dark Templar yield the energies of the void while the Zealots and HT use the khala.  Different  energies different death sequences

 

I think they should just fade away. its just too similar to the zealots death you wont know what you lost. and they decloke before they die, making the dark templares death kinda too showy or light and in the open.
and come on when the zealot dies its supposed to join the khala while the dark templares are just suposed to die.

 

@BoP:

The blue flames that shoot up from the dead body of a protoss is psi energy. And while Dark Templar and the normal Protoss use different ways to utilize it, they still use psi energy, and it's released in a burst of blue flame on their death.

 

I do. I also like their attack animation more than I thought I would, never paid attention to it before.

 

maybe then could kneel down and there dark energys could soak into the ground in a shadow of dark blue..

 

That could work too. It would still be blue but be different than Zealot deaths

 

it should be vanishing or disappearing

like
vanish RIGHT before it hits the ground after it dies

 

I think that's the kind of thing we wanted to avoid.

 

i like the death animation...but i prefer them getting lit up in psi flames first before their sould goes up..
and i love the attack animation....how cool is it when the DT does the "spin attack"...how bloddy awesome! i love it!!

 

the problem here is, there's no burst of flame - just floating spirit and "pop"
