Correct, afterglow does not affect yourself, and furthermore it's overwritten by party members' own aftermath effect.

I see the 99 +1 empyrean weapon as a trophy item, nothing else. The actual glow is kinda cool!
Thank you ^^
Have +HQs ever really been worth it? Sure for people who could afford/obtain it. But for the vast majority, +1 gear is very overrated, minor boosts, the same for Relic/Mythic/Emp 99 afterglow. aka +1
I am of the belief that every game (single player, MMO, or otherwise) should always have nigh unobtainable gear and unkillable bosses, in addition to real gear/fights.
A players growth should never be limited by the game itself. You may have to move Heaven and Earth to get the gear/ win the fights, but the option should always be availible.
Fair enough, and I agree the incentive should be there.
If anything there is DISincentive to do it now, just cuz you would look like Pchan
