Ive been watching alot of TOS videos, and I notice that almost every single monster dies by exploding like a really complicated balloon animal. Or rather… A bundle of rocks that were glued together and given life. Does anyone else find this to be a slight turnoff, or am i just being anal?

I love it, and it’s extremely satisfying when you do a huge hit that involves screen shaking. Honestly, it’s just a preference issue. Mobs die extremely fast in this game, so honestly, I think having an actual animation would look fairly silly.

I also like it. It’s like a more family friendly version of gibbing your enemies into bloody chunks.
Untold amounts of satisfaction can be had by blowing up a perfectly grouped up horde of enemies. Watching the monster parts fly and hearing the experience meter tick up is really something.
Besides that, I think the chunks that fly out of enemies play into the Necromancer’s skills. Not directly, but they make the Necromancer’s skills make a bit more sense. It’s neat because you’re literally using those same chunks that fly out of monsters as parts of your spells, and having death animations instead of explosions would only detract from that.

Good point about the necromancer skills!!!
I also like the animation, I don’t like gory stuff, and it would be out of place in such a cute MMO…

You’re telling me you don’t enjoy a bit of carnage every now and then? You’re missing out, you know.
This game kinda reminds me of legend of mana. Even the death animation is almost similar. I love both games. <3

It saves time, money and work and yeah even Diablo3 had similar type death animation but nobody has complained. It seems we like it 
But if they didn’t explode, what of the necromancer? Necromancers need those exploded body parts. 
maybe they break because they came out from the same source, the tree?
The tremor effect can be harmful to vision and cause of headaches… I hope they add an option to turn off this…

Yeah, in RO all monsters had their own death animation, which were pretty nice. In ToS we have this annoying explosion and that’s it. If they won’t add more death animations then I hope we could at least turn off these death explosion.

Then I guess fire spells are the most effective against them.
Yes and water makes them stronger haha.
But seriously I guess they happened to animate that way because of popular games like candy crush and ninja fruit which has too much explotions when you accomplished something and which is so satisfying to see repeatedly.
i prefer to say they pop, rather then explode.
Sometime I think cute monsters exploding to pieces after killed is … cruel?
I prefer just animation like moster faint or fall down then drop items.
But this must take more time to draw and the later TOS CBT… OMG NO 
well the devs cannot surely just make the mobs bleed to death or explode, i mean the current animation its pretty family friendly i and quite like it though i am not against improvements to it in the future
Death animations are awesome indeed, but I dont think it’s worth the effort…I think exploding enemies are fine and they also give me that “old-mmo” feel, for some reason.
Well, since many games out there actually don’t have exploding enemies, or even terrible poor graphics and dying animations this is a nice gesture visually.
