Description:

The glow effect on Holy Shield +1 is not currently scaling correctly across the different races. The glow on the Roegadyn version of the shield is considerably smaller than the shield itself, creating a really ugly effect, while the glow on the Lalafells version of the shield is about twice as large as the shield itself.





Lalafell glow

Yup, that looks horrible but all-in-all I prefer SE remove the glow entirely...

[Jahaudant]

Bump.

- /10.

[Elendil_Voronda]

I have noticed that too.

Bump

[Alderton]

Yeah, this is still annoying me. Gogo Bump!

[Holyhunter]

I've noticed this

I think it fits exactly along the shield's edge as either Male Miqote or Male Hyur, don't remember which

That being said, i think the Lalafell on looks great.

The glow on Lalafell is what make +1 Holy Shield awesome. That's the only reason I told my tank to +1 it instead of buying AF2 gears.

Looks good on Lalafell....

Greetings,

As some of you have noticed, the glowing effect for Holy Shield +1 differs in size depending on your race, and this is actually a bug. We will be fixing this to match the size of the shield.

However, there’s been a lot of feedback that the glowing effect looks really cool, so after we fix the effect bug, we will look into making adjustments to the size of the actual effect for patch 2.1.

While I agree that it's an obvious bug, like others I do like the comically huge glow effect on my Lalafell so I hope that the fixed version will still retain some of that cool factor. :P
