Not Sure if a Bug: The New WAR Relic Upgrade

It's really pathetic when you compare it to the new PLD Anima. And then the NIN just looks like... a plain pair of daggers with a glow. The glow doesn't even add to the look like all the other weapons, even WAR. It's just... a glow.

Nin's weapon = lv15 1 hand sword called Bronze Spatha with glowing runes, lol. You can have a look at the market board. Just hope the final stage's glowing light will be bright enough to cover the weapon's shape.

Side note, is there anything written about the WAR relic on the Japanese /general forum? Google translate isn't the best. The Japanese forums typically receive more dev responses, so I'm curious if it has been a topic.

Yes. And the WAR and NIN still got jipped because their glows are hardly pronounced or particularly visually striking.
And I maintain that DRK is kind of lazy too because its glow just looks like the silhouette of the Deathbringer.

(The argument can go both ways)

Except it doesn't at all. I'm not asking to take anything away from you. I'm just telling people to grow up and get over it, you don't have to like every stage of the anima and the anima doesn't need to be changed to suit you or anyone else. You have plenty of other options, you can survive one axe / twin blade you don't like.

To all those people who kept asking for WAR to be nerfed: hope you're happy now ¬_¬

I imagine you've summed up Square Enix's reaction to this thread, as well.

The MCH weapon might be the only one I never glamour. The glow actually looks amazing. Pld looks trashy and nin would look a lot better without the bloody glow.

Maybe because the people who you claim "care" are asking to change an item because they don't personally like the style even though other people do like the style. Don't the people who like it have as much right to care about it as the people who don't?

It's certainly less overdone than some of the relics, while still being highly detailed. That can be a good thing. It looks gorgeous to me, both the base model and the glow effect. (Having only just barely unlocked WAR myself, I'm a long way from leveling it to the point where I could get this, so my opinion doesn't really count for much, but that doesn't negate the opinions of other players who like the design.)

EDIT: after owning it, and seeing it outside of the preview box, I love it. Not the best, but it grew on me very, very quickly.

It would be so easy to fix the daggers, they don't even need to change the design, only make them smaller, they're twice as big they should be.

Dunno if was said but honestly most if not all the weapons of this stage reuse a precedent model with an elaborated glow (for some arguably) on it

That... actually looks a lot better than the previous images shown of it. The glow looks more substantial, giving it kind of this sort of sledgehammer silhouette. Actually kind of like it.

Is there some particular reason people like the tiny axes? There seems to be an over abundance of them, but it's really not how I picture an axe in a video game. There's a few that are pretty decently sized, like the Tremor Axe, Dreadwyrm Axe, Gordias Axe, etc. but most of them are like this new Relic upgrade where they look like they'll break in half after a few swings.

Unfortunately for me, I hated the last iteration AND this iteration of MCH's.

You can glitch this.. Make a macro-

/bm
/sit

It will glitch it to glow on your back. This is a super old bug that might actually be worth using again :P

Thank you I'll bookmark this :D

Also am I the only one who saw SCH's relic glow looks like Shuriken...?

I like that most of the 270s are toned down, classic, elegant and rather realistic. I mean, I'm still going to glam the moogle weapons over them for the kupos, but that's another story.

Several people have said it, and I can't tell if you and everyone else who has is actually willingly lying or just don't know what they're talking about.

None of the weapons of this stage "reuse a precedent model". Period.

Its not the SCH relic, its the helicopter book. ;)

I dunno, I like the hyperconductive look the most out of all the axes in the game so far. It's beastly, model and glow both are. This ones pretty tame... If I can find a good glam to go with it maybe but I still don't like the way it looks anyway.

Off topic, but have you played a game called Vindictus? Your forum name is familiar.

Yes I have, I use this on all my game forum names.

The models of the weapons are a more metallic version of earlier weapons that said I don't think it's bad per se I wanted to point out that they went all out of the glow of the weapon rather than the basic models themselves

Yes, I was the former. :3 I loved Evie. I gave up on the game after losing my patience with Nexon.

Yeah the art team seams to have gotten supper lazy with the artwork on the last set of anima. Sloppy!

No, they aren't. Please look at them again, with your eyes this time.
