Dear Tibians!

Please use this thread to share your feedback on the Spell Opacity feature, which is a part of the Winter Update 2025.

Vision:
A new option to fine-tune spell effect opacity provides players with more visual clarity and a better overview during gameplay.

More Information:
You can learn more about the Spell Opacity in the teaser and its corresponding forum thread. Please note that some of the information in these links might now be outdated.

Overview:
This feature allows you to customise spell effect opacity for improved clarity and focus.
You can fine-tune the opacity of your own spells, other player's spells, and monster spell effects using three handy sliders.

When giving feedback, please consider this:
If you have suggestions or concerns, please help us by explaining your perspective. We'll do our best to incorporate your feedback!

I put the spell opacity down to 50% but Divine Caldera the animation doesn't seem to be completing.

It seems like it cuts out rather than playing the full animation. Is that intended?

Hi Delru! I wasn't able to reproduce this — the animation plays through completely, regardless of the opacity setting. If this is still an issue, please provide more details. Thanks for checking!

Dear Tibians,

While we continue evaluating your feedback, we've addressed following issues:

- Fixed the Momentum effect (hourglass) so that it is not affected by opacity settings.
- Fixed the issue where the opacity slider value in the Options dialog could change by itself.

We're still unable to reproduce the issue where spell effect animations sometimes cancel prematurely, investigation is ongoing.

Happy testing,
Sythrak

Dear Tibians,

Based on your feedback, we've decided to implement an additional option to set a separate opacity value for creature effects in boss areas.
We'll make an announcement as soon as it becomes available on the test server.

We're also continuing to evaluate your feedback and the issue with canceling spell effect animations.

Happy testing,
Sythrak

Dear Tibians,

The option to set a separate opacity value for creature effects in boss areas is now available on the test server.

Happy testing,
Sythrak

Dear Tibians,

We changed the login/spawn effect so that it is not longer affected by the opacity settings.

Happy testing,
Sythrak

Dear Tibians,

I would like to address your requests and suggestions regarding the changes and improvements to the opacity options.

The main intent of the Spell Opacity feature is to allow you to customise spell effect opacity for improved visual clarity.

As you know, in this first version of the feature, you can already set the opacity for your own spell effects, those of other players, and those cast by creatures separately.

As an improvement, we've added the ability to set a separate opacity value for creatures in boss areas.

Many of you have suggested further refinements, such as:
- Spell-type-based opacity
- Spell whitelist-based opacity
- Separate opacity for totem effects
- Spearate opacity by spell and rune effects
- Opacity settings for damage numbers
- and some other more specific proposals

While these are great ideas, we won't be able to evaluate or implement changes of this scale during the external test. However, we'll continue collecting and reviewing your feedback for potential future updates.

Thank you for your engagement and for helping us improve the game!

Cheers,
Sythrak

Dear Tibians,

This will be my closing post.
Thank you all for testing and for the valuable feedback you provided during the test.

As mentioned before, your suggestions regarding refinements to the spell opacity settings, as well as opacity options for damage numbers, will be considered for future updates.

Have fun exploring all the new content and features of the winter update!

Cheers,
Sythrak
