I want more weapons with glowing effect

Why are we getting less and less weapons with glowing effect? The upgraded tome weapons used to glow in 2.XX and none of the new PvP weapons have any effect.

Why?

No please, no glow.
Akihiko Yoshida is still crying for what they've done to FFXIV with 2.0.

I, uh...kinda like that the vast majority of weapons does "not" glow.

But I come from WoW where many people would even enchant their low level weapons with +1 beastslaying (not sure about the english name) for no other reason than to have the weapon glow. When I think about it...I can't recall seeing a single non-glowing weapon there in my later days.

I find glowing effects on most weapons really tacky and looks good only in DoM weapons. Something like the Hive weapons are okay though since it's rather subtle and not an aura.

In 2.x a lot of people including myself wanted to turn the glow effects off on there various relics. So kinda nice to see less of these effects currently.

Though a toggle option would be nice if guess then people who want glows can turn them on and people who don't can turn them off

I didn't like much the weapons glowing. Should be a option to turn off the glow effect (without glamour), then ok. When you reach the Nexus Phase on the old relic was really really exagerated. And the Zeta effect of some of them too. They are cool, I won't lie, but after a time they result annoying and too overcharged.

I really like subtle glows, like, say, Hive weapons, Ramuh weapons, or the Void Ark armor. But the full on glow? No thanks, that gets an instant glamour over it.

It's fine if some people don't like the effect but why don't give an option for everyone? Make it an option to turn it on/off for your character so everyone can be happy.

I honestly don't know whats wrong with people and their hate for glowing weapons in a game where just about EVERYTHING glows when we attack. I'm not sure why we have less glowing weapons. I see the esoteric monk weapon has a fire effect and the rest don't have anything similar, so its kinda bs. I personally would love more glowing weapons, or at least some more elemental ones.

I guess we're getting less glowing weapons because of some glowing weapon haters complained about it during 2.XX.

Instead of giving us an option to toggle the effect, they decided to create less glowing weapons.

Whenever I get an weapon that has glow on it, I glamour it into something else that doesn't glow.

But if they would add some way to attach/remove glow on weapons, I'd have nothing against the option.

After getting both my Zeta and my Garuda spear, I strongly prefer glowing weapons. The others seem weak without it. I'm really disappointed that the Brionac Awoken can't be dyed either. That glow effect redeemed what I considered to be a god awful weapon.

I've got high hopes for the current relic

I agree with this, I just feel like weapons with glow makes them seem more alive and powerful.

Subtle glows like Ramuh's or T9 weapons, or the changing color of the Hive weapons, i could get behind. Novus / Nexxus glow, not so much.

i'm still wishing for those Dreadwyrm weaps to glow......

Anima next step in some patches.
Keep at least 1 Anima weapon ready for it ^^

I would like more glow and also special effects like dripping blood or electric sparks. It makes the weapon look more powerful.

I am currently leveling monk because of the new lore weapon and it will be my first purchase with Midan Gears.

I was right about to say this
I like the subtler glows....and my fav glow so far has been the cool stringy glow of the Awoken weapons.

Less like you're holding a star and more subtle glows please.

I would like to see more glowing weapons personally. Subtle or full glow. Either.

Lately, I've been getting disappointed that my new primal or raid weapons lack glows. I would like to see more variety of weapons that do glow.

As a SMN our weapons are practically invisible unless they're glowing so I have to also show some support for more weapon glows. With that said though I'd rather we see more interesting, subtle glows than the obnoxious christmas light types seen in the early stages of the 2.X relic.

I imagine the new relics will glow eventually as well. The only reason the 210 relics don't glow is because they're a fresh model upgrade. Whenever a relic stage changes the model the glow is added on the stage AFTER that. Expect to see something in 3.25.

I'd like some more cool effects on weapons like how they handled it with the old weapons like shiva's and leviathans, not so much with the glow like they put on the new relic.. Its always depressing to me when our new weapons don't have some kinda effect on it :(

No glow, please. My eyes are still bleeding from the 3 Nexus I made on a whim. I don't mind an option for it, providing that the disabled option disabled glows for all other players on my screen. The only good looking effect was on the Ragnarok Zeta.

Subtle glowing parts on weapons are fine in my book.

Pass on the radioactive, oh-my-god-my eyes glows, though.

I like melee trails.

It would have been funny if they cause blind on the target ^^
