Back in the day i remember bard regen having a super electric lambent style blue pixel graphic. The current song is paleish white/blue. I remember allways oo'ing and aahhh'ing at the blueness of the bard regen.
It used to look like this, This is the truest colored picture i can find in about sixty seconds. Here are three examples.

I could add another picture from a different view etc but it's still pale.
Now that i think of it cant i tinker with the spell color files and get this right myself?

Also, ill add im using the velious UI with the /showspell on. Not the fancy new school UI that you can change density etc of spells.

And you want this:

So do this:

Be careful, though, it may result in this:

Its actually alot smoother and vivid looking on my screen vs the screenshot. I dont know if i can even kite this way or ill lag ;(
Yeah aadill, on live i recall the bard song graphic to be allmost if not exactly the same pixel and the exact same color as a normal heal spell. Thats sort of why i assumed your fix was the fix ;D
PS: My graphics card makes good looking grass eh?

It is the correct particle effect. SOE redrew them. We don't modify the client. We can't change the way your particle effects appear.

Yes particle effect is correct but the color is not as deep blue as it should be.
Edit: Ill try to find a better picture with the new graphic, was it changed to a lighter color as well? I think it actually was.

I fairly certain the original blue effect is actually a different spell effect than what's currently in place, which is the same effect as the enchanter clarity effect.
I'm not in tune to how/what/when SOE changed spell effects... but the original one could be gone. Personally I liked the spell effect prior to this last patch, which, correct me if I'm wrong, came in place when SoV was released.

He said they re wrote the spell graphic. i wasnt sure if they could tinker with the color, im sure they can but it would be incorrect. Thank you uthgaard.
