What's the point?

Its same as Sphere, I remember that much, you get nothing, people around you get the bonus though.

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

That I had heard, proving the point even more so that it is worthless ><;

Why did SE even make this?!

I see the 99 +1 empyrean weapon as a trophy item, nothing else. The actual glow is kinda cool!

When it comes to the 99+ versions of emps, mythics, or emps.

Just wanted to point out, you might want to fix that error :x

Thank you ^^

/sigh... Why am I not actually surprised.

How do you test them on the test server btw? I am on the server but never could find a way to test Afterglow sadly.

What you need to do is find the trial number of the weapon 99+, then search that number at the trial moogle. It will give you a option of keeping the weapon.

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.

How very deep of you, and normally I'd agree with you. But if you are 'moving heaven and earth' for something that's largely cosmetic... That's where I take issue at.

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
