If you've been trolling Activision's Facebook page, you've probably already seen it. What's your opinion? Kinda looks like that time of month...

I just realised that its meant to be a glowing effect for her floating! Oh the injustice...and Unfortunate Implications and Un Entendre!

Also, they put her using the Wow Pow in the video- that's just kind of sad.

I don't much care for LCs, but I think I might get this one for that unfortunate effect appearence. I may even nickname her something fitting.... Maybe "Aunt Flo"

THE ARTWORK

IT'S KILLING ME

I'VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO BAD IN MY LIFE.

I'll be sticking to my wonderful S2 Hex thank you very much.

It could've been the skulls she throws, maybe her eyes! I'm wondering what they were thinking...

In her S1 pose, the figure is holding a crystal-looking skull out, I would have made THAT glow. Okay, S2 all have different poses than their S1 counterparts, and I don't know Hex's S2 pose, but they could have made sure to still have her holding a skull...

In game, it seems weird. In the figure, in the pictures I've seen, it looks kinda cool to me to have a red glow, and I love red. Of course, after reading this thread I will never NOT think of the Aunt Flo aspect ever again, LOL!

The S2 pose has her holding a translucent blue ball with a skull in it over her head with both hands. Two more skulls in similar energy balls are orbiting around her lower half.

IMO, the S2 pose would've been better for the LC and to have the 3 skulls, or at least the one held above her head, glow a white or light blue.

Considering other Lightcore characters have a glow about them, I personally would've preferred a glow just to the skulls...simulating the character on the portal is simply breathtaking--for all of the WRONG reasons.

if i ever get her, i'll only play her once a month.

omfg Zap.

I'm going to toss a guess that they didn't make her skulls glow because her arms are THIN. Same issue with Chill's Javelin. Can't believe you guys didn't realize this.

This is part of the reason I said the S2 pose would've been better for the LC. They could've tried to run a wire at half normal power through each arm to the skull above her head, or just had the skulls orbiting her glow.

Her Series 2 pose isn't quite that random, it's her casting Rain of Skulls.

I was thinking...

Maybe her Skull Base could glow, so after you've played her, the base will glow in the dark?

Well, all Undead bases ALREADY glow in the dark, so that doesn't sound very special, LOL!

^ yea i noticed that all the undead bases glow in the dark a couple of days ago too

Yeah, but instead of sitting under a light for a few minutes, you could pop her on the Portal, the Skull will light up, and when you're done, the Skull still glows after you play her.

While Eruptor was the lamest Lightcore, Hex's is just puzzling. They honestly had no idea what to do with an undead figure. They should've just made a new undead character and aborted ShroomBoom.

Done.

I find Lightcore Eruptor better than Lightcore Drobot.

I think that Hot Head has the worst LightCore, Eruptor is next worst, and Drobot is my favourite- I hate how so many LightCore effects are gaudy and love how his is subtle instead

I agree.
Although lights on the eyes would have been cool.

Prism Break's is also pretty cool.

Just another epic fail data point on the lightcore model. Tech is cool, but either their limitations (tech, creative or international/legal) is keeping its vision to be fully realized. I say if they can't do better than this I say just drop it for SF.

I hope the figure looks good, but in game it looks silly.

Kinda ironic that a bunch of skylander fanboys can think of a million better ideas than their implemented vision.

But at least you can see Hothead light up in all different angles while Lightcore Drobot you can't really see it in some angles. The best way to really see his light up is on the top side.

Ah. Well, this is how GITD has worked ever since the concept was introduced, must be something like 30 years ago, maybe more. That's just the way the "technology" works, that anything Glow In The Dark has to absorb the light first. It might even be some sort of slowed reflection going on, I don't know the specifics of how it works.

I estimate that what YOU'RE talking about, though cooler and simpler, is not technologically possible.

^ i think he means that instead of the bases just absorbing the light and then glowing, he means that when one the portal it would light up bright like the lightcores and when you take it off it the light slowly goes away.....very slowly like after 5 minutes it would be out

^Sounds reasonable to me...problem is probably that the LEDs don't generate enough light for that to happen...I guess we could always find a little plutonium...

If you have Stealth Elf, her eyes and daggers do, too. At least S1. I have Legendary Stealth Elf and I think her eyes still do, not sure about eyes or blades of regular S2, though.

Again, limited by technology. If they had their own power, that would be one thing, but they're powered externally. They report that the lightcores/Giants take their power from the portal. It's a low level radiation thing, power flows quite slowly and low level under these wireless conditions. It's pretty much stretching the limits to light the lights, it's too much to ask that the figures absorb enough power to retain it a little while after disconnect.

And yes, I understood what Matteo was asking for.

Not sure why you have to re-iterate my iteration of your iteration...are you suggesting I'm countering your argument? I wasn't. And wasn't suggesting you didn't understand...

@niceguy: she does , i can tell cuz i have her
and i noticed diffrences in glowing effacts too
my first s1 had very weak light, even wen i put it under a lamp
my second had brighter light and didn't need a lamp to shine strong
:lse: does NOT HAVE THE LIGHT GO CHEK IT NOW
s2: does have it but mine is not strong, at leest i customized it so i dont care

Sometimes I like to quote who I'm responding to, or what topic I'm discussing, in an attempt to keep things clear.

No worries, I understood what you said and your understanding and such.

(All this iterating and understanding is making my eyes cross, but I'm keeping it straight, I swear!) LOL!

yeah, this skylandr is at it....you know,
