now that I can talk about this, I saw the water affect when aard was cast, it was level 1 aard and went outwards facing forward. It actually looked good even on the ps4 stream I was watching.
Blood seemed to get in water as well. A chicken was killed and there was blood on the ground also.
The foliage, in my opinion, looks like rubbish on consoles though.
Good news! Hope it's fixed for humans though... Miss the spray effect like in 35 min vid from Drowners but hey at least some form of blood decals is good if it exists.
How about lightning on grass/fire effects? Looking any better/fixed/improved?
