I know Devs probably don't really look at these forums much as there hasn't been any major, needed changes to drg for a long time (other than jump recasts, but that applied to every jobs merit categories so not gonna count that) but I feel I should just put this idea across and see if it gets anywhere.
Basically, I've just obtained my Gungnir and I'm very happy with it so far, despite the terrible ws and aftermath but that doesn't really bother me so much. The only real thing that kinda gets to me sometimes is in certain lights it looks a little weird and like it's rubber or a toy polearm.
This is probably due to low graphic potential in the past but as new weapons are being designed were seeing a lot more detail and I was wondering if there was room to redesign the mapping on certain weapons, main one for me being Gungnir. There are no issues with the shape, like people have mentioned before, it would be nice to have a shape more like Odins but definitely not necessary as most gungnir references I've come across online have been the trident shape as is in FFXI at the moment.
The main change I personally would like to see is to remove the baby blue colouring and make the grey/silver a darker shade so that it stands out more, giving it more of an aggressive stance, being a weapon worthy of a god and all! The main issue I see is that the actual silver edge of Gungnir doesn't stand out enough because the silver is too light and the blue too dominant. And actually, having it in gold (like Apocalypse and Mandau) would look fantastic on gungnir. IIRC the Gungnir referenced in the movie Thor was gold.
This certainly isn't a request that I would put above fixing some major downsides of DRG, just a nice bonus I would like to see that would be a relatively easy fix. Simply a cosmetic bonus that I'm sure a lot of DRG's would appreciate.
There's a very low chance this will happen I'm just putting it out there in hope! Anyone have any opinions or thoughts on this? Maybe if people feel the same and we can get enough likes it could happen!
