Ninja and the shiny Nexus relic weapons?

[Maero]

I actually loved the glow for the Bard Novus weapon and drg is not bad either, however i have them glamed now, lol.
The image above is something i would not mind either

This aura effect on weapon is the stupidest and ugliest thing I ever saw in a MMO...

ehm because no1 notices a ninja casting a fireball that explodes , right? or the ninja thunder spells isnt loudy to alert enemies :P

ninja has stealth? yes , but im sure it will be 2 min cd 10s duration or something like that , maybe is the skill that lowers agro so isnt useless in battle

it's simply we are some, it seems to be concerned about this extre blinding light coming from the weapon of a scout and stealth class... it's a bit like if a back ops unit was using big lamp for say: hello i'm there, look at me.

on another note, i really think that this glows on the relic is the worst choice they have made... god i wish they had make the weapon change subtly in the model instead of this.

I really hope stealth isn't handled the same way as it is in WoW and RO
Having someone magically appear behind you, stun you, and burst you down is one of the lamest things ever

They're building up to lightsabers.. ^_^. I would like to see the weapon glow staph, but I think they're doing the glow because it is cheaper than making a new model - or someone in SE really likes glowy stuff.

Can't find the quote at the moment but I was sure SE said that relics will get a completly different model as it approaches its final stages.

As being more on topic.. the dark glow is a great solution to keep things in line with the other relics but yet not be disturbingly disconnecting (as everyone else said, please try to sneak up on someone with a strobe light).

i can imagine a ninja sneaking behind the person and suddenly the person turn back and...spotted!
the ninja say: why?!?
the target point the weapon of the ninja that glows strong enough for make the dark cave be like exposed in middle of the day.

I don't see the problem of having shiny weapons on Ninja. By being a stealth class they meant the ability to go into hide state (invisible) for a temporary period of time or during certain attacks. It's not like even if you had no glow, people wouldn't see the word "Ninja" on your head during pvp or seeing you move around. So I really really don't understand OP's point.

Ps: To the one who mentioned RO's hide, I agree. Besides the games you mentioned, there are others with this function aswell (Aion for example) where you can hide endlessly as an assassin and jump on whoever you want (a 5 mins of complete invisibility buff with 3 minutes cooldown) and there is no way to discover them unless you're another scout class with special buffs. If they give Ninjas the ability to hide, it would be cool if it wasn't a complete invisibility option, something like a transparent character which you could notice to the invisible shapes if you really paid attention around.

Every time I see my bow glow aggressively I cringe T.T I hope relic effects moving forward are toned down just a little.

The original design and lore tell us that they will get a lot shinier, and not only that, they also plan to add special sound effects, though if I had to guess the sound effects will be restricted to when you sheathe your weapon.

The point is by definition a Ninja is something that generally relies on stealth or some form of espionage to achieve its aim. Now I don't see how a job named Ninja can walk around with a giant glow stick in its pants, I wasn't speaking from a mechanical or PvP view it was completely a visual frame of mind. Could you imagine the job quests focusing heavily on stealth tactics or misdirection and at the end of that when you forge towards the relic they say hey remember all these stealthy ninja things I taught you, well here's a giant light bulb you have to carry around.
