Glowing effects on "upgraded" gear.

I think developer time is better spent on making new content then developing some switch to turn off all glows for the few people who don't like them. The solution is already in the game if you don't like a glow then glamor your weapon.

Wait up now.
This ain't how game development works. They have teams divided up for various aspects of the game.
Besides, having a toggle would be a much simpler and cheaper solution, and I think everyone would be fine with that.

Glow-y-ness on a weapon is kind of a silly idea in the first place. Would you want to stand out on the battlefield so that people can see you better to kill you? lol Maybe if you were the tank... that's the only way I could see it being a good thing.

If there was some legendary weapon that had a .0001% chance to drop from turn 9 or something and it glowed, that would be perfectly fine. Then it wouldn't be *everywhere*. But basically it's a special snowflake thing that everyone has, so it's not special and just distracting. If it were just a few random people that had a glowy weapon then people might actually be impressed with the effect! :p And yes, basically most every level 50 has a glowy weapon. Getting your zenith is like the first thing someone tries to do when they hit 50. Sadly, there are some that aren't able to do it, but a majority are. If people *must* have glowy weapons, I'm cool with it, just why is it the baseline? It's too over the top to be baseline.

Hey, did you know?

They spent time redoing the tethers because of the *few* color blind people who play this game? Remember how red tethers used to be solid red lines and now they're dotted generally orange lines? The AoE indicators used to be Red and now they're pulsing orange?

Just because you like it doesn't mean it would be a waste of time to give people who want to toggle it on/off the ability to do so - some things are a waste of resources, like minions, as they do absolutely nothing for gameplay lol, but they'll continue to make em for the people who like to collect them.

Glowing effects? Bring em 'on

Entropy wants to have a word with you all!

To me, the glowy effects just scream "cheap free to play Korean mmo!" At me. Which isn't a good thing.

The glow effects would be acceptable if the realm was a techno night club, or a land of eternal darkness where we need giant glow sticks to see.

I agree with OP.

I don't like the glow of the relics and always glamour my weapons to something without a glow. Please Dev. team, allow us to turn it off for others.

I play this game with most battle effects off because the whole screen is so over the top with glow effects. IMHO the action effects and relic glow looks pretty gaudy/cheesy . Especially this early in the game... what will we have at the next level cap when our lvl 30 class actions look like they could destroy a small village, Not to mention how flashy lvl 50 jobs are right now.

Everyone say that my Novus's glow looks like yellow-pee. :(

They should make a solid gold relic
