Seeing how Eternum Nocturne is literally my favorite skin in the game, I was really excited to see Eternum Rek'Sai. I love the idea. The particles are great so far, and the model is spot on.

I'm just going to go ahead and point out the one thing that I'd like to see done a little differently. The voice of classic Rek'Sai is amazing. I have listened to the whole classic voice a few times, and am extremely impressed. Eternum Rek'Sai uses classic Rek'Sai's voice and adds a distortion effect that is similar to Eternum Nocturnes, but isn't implemented nearly as well. I feel the distortion effect is abused and over done on Rek'Sai and overshadows her actual voice completely. It just sounds like jumbled space noises rather than other-dimentionally enhanced. Listen to Eternum Nocturne's voice, and you will notice how minimally the effect is used in comparison. I love the effect! I really really do! It sounds so damn cool that I would be temped to amp it up as well. The result is a distorted noise that losses its charm, and the actual growls that are being enhanced suffer as well. My request to whoever is charge of the sound effects here is to make sure that more care is put into adding the "Eternum" distortion effect to Rek'Sai by the time she is released.

Please listen to both, notice how the "classic" growls are distorted into nothingness.

The reason this is happening is because the echo/reverb effect is softening the hard noises. It is taking the staccato away. Let me compare this to something else to further get across my point. Say you are writing a peom. After the ink dries, you take your hand and smear all the ink to the right to add a cool visual effect. It was a good idea, and it looks cool. Now you write a new poem and do the same thing, but this time you don't wait for the ink to dry. You get a very similar effect, but this time the poem is no longer legible =0
