My feedback regarding Advent.

from Sins Forums

1 Advent still have the old blue charge for a phase jump. It might be on purpose and if it is disregard.

2) Advent receive no notifications regarding titans whatsoever. Your opponent could've build one, and destroyed yours with it, you won't hear a single thing.

3) When playing with capital planet victory I noticed a small visual bug where the planets disappear. Note that green and purple had not been defeated at this point.

1. It's actually been changed, in particular the phase jump starting animations, they're kind of like "doors" opening, the rest of the effect is touched up a bit well. They were right to keep the Advent phase effects close to the original, it fits them.

2. Notifications do seem finicky, sometimes they play, others they don't.

3. Did you have vision of those planets?

It's actually slightly different, it now looks like an eye opening which fits in with some of the Advent phrases: "Arrival location visualized" etc.

The Advent still use the old "comet" effect while travelling in phase space, which I quite like.

My guess is that each race now has their own phase jump effects - I hope the effect for the Vasari is similar to the "whirlpool" from the intro movie.

Yes, it is. I wonder though, how will it be colored with the phase destabilisation effect. I mean, if Advent forces are leaving gravity well containing enemy starbase, the blue color of their phase jump vortex is turned to red/orange. For Vasari, it is red/orange by default already....

Not at that moment, as you could see in the box in the right corner, the last intel regarding the planet was 539 seconds ago. My mouse hovered over where the planet icon was supposed to be btw.
