Seriously. Every rank up, the evolving weapon set just gets brighter and more distracting. It's not going to be long before you can't see anything of a character but a white smear. I saw someone with a Nexus weapon today and I actually had to examine him to figure out what class he was. I reskinned my weapon because I got tired of it burning a hole in my retina every time I attacked something.

I know you're just trying to make the weapon look progressively more impressive as it ranks up, but please find some other way to do it?
