IMO, the little icon that shows on the screen when the globe is running is plenty. The swirly stuff is just distracting. All the other artifacts (like the triple, lightening rod, etc.) do have external effects, but they are much more subtle. The lightening rod cannot be seen at all aside from the icon (from the user's eyes). I think if you feel the need to have some sort of exterior effect, you can stick with the old shiny or do some simple color change to the skin.D2Boss wrote:Before...people were stating that they couldn't tell if they had their globe running or not.
We get the new Globe of Invulnerability ;)
As for the lightening rod, even with rumpling disabled (rumpling = triple + Lightning rod), I use the lightening rod quite frequently.
