Proposed skill hunter boxes
New proposed boxes for the Skill Hunter titles are up. What do people think? I realize the three campaign boxes use the same background color, but that is one of the hardest things to come up with (it alternates between that and the icons themselves). Comments? --Rainith 22:33, 27 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Update - All new boxes done. I still want to try a "flipping" of the icons for the skill hunter ones (Mission icons on top of the SoC icons as opposed to the current SoC on top of the mission icons), but I'm tired of working on this tonight so that will have to wait until tomorrow.  I've also altered the color scheme of the boxes for title tracks that now have "legendary" titles.  Since I was using the same color for the legendary boxes, I wanted to use the same color for the lower tier titles too.
 * As always I'd love comments. --Rainith 23:00, 1 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Great work as always. I'm a bit sad that the HM Guardian Icons are the same in 2 boxes, but really, you can only have so many ideas... I don't like the Vanquisher ones too much. The "Hard Mode Effect" is OK, but the "1, 2, 3" is a bit to... simple. And too small. at least make them a bit bigger.
 * And a question. Why are the new boxes in your userspace, and not in the Template space? :P You'll move them or what? ;] &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 09:12, 2 May 2007 (CDT)


 * First a note that I've uploaded new images for the skill hunter titles. I like these better than the other ones I had there.  As always comments are welcome.


 * Poki, thanks for the compliment. :)  If ANet had made the HM mission completion icons different for Factions and Nightfall, I would have used different ones, but they didn't and I just used what was available.  I too would like a little more differentiation between the two, but I think the color of the box does that okay.  As for the Vanquisher ones, I can make ones that have larger numbers, the ones they have now are the same size that you get when you are playing the game and kill enemies there (original image from Smurf can be found here).  If I do increase the size of the number should it stay in the same location or move somewhere else in the image (and where should it go if it moves)?  If you have an idea for a different/better image to use for these, let me know.  I'm honestly not thrilled with them myself, but I don't have any better ideas.  :(


 * The titles are currently in my userspace as they're "in testing" at the moment. Keeping them in my namespace means that I don't have to worry much about people changing them up while I work them into what I want them to look like.  Or if anyone does I can tell them to back off.  ;)  I did the same thing with all the other title boxes (except the Sweet Tooth one, that one I knew exactly what I wanted and had it done much quicker than even I thought I would).  By the time I finished the original batch of title boxes a dozen or so people were already using them.  :)  I don't think these will be in my userspace beyond this weekend, unless a bunch of people start complaining they don't like them.  --Rainith 21:42, 2 May 2007 (CDT)


 * @Skill hunter. Better, better, but still something is missing IMHO. Could you try the SoC as a background, and using Outpost icons instead of Mission icons, and see how that looks like?
 * @Guardian. Thought the same _^_ Also, something bugs me about the Legendary Guardian. The usage of the Skill icon is fine, but i think a small tweak is in order. I uploaded Image:GuardianTitle.jpg. What do you think about it? Maybe a small (1, 2 px) black border is in order :/
 * @Vanquisher. I know it's from the game, but how bout trying to replace the small numbers with bigger ones (maybe a different font?) or with letters P, F and N? ^^; ...yeah, I have no idea _^_
