I'm fine with the embers-style textures, although it could be dimmed a little bit more.

What I really take issue with is the OMGWTF huge size of the horns on the weapons that makes it seem out of place.
I doubt it, to be honest the only weapon I'm not fond of is the bow. Not because it's large, only because the top is bigger than the bottom.

Lets face it, this game NEEDS a little pizazz in the gear and weapons. Wearing the same model in different colors for 50 levels has gotten REALLY old. Sure they might be a tad large, but honestly nothing so over the top that it deserves an "OMGWTFDATSWAP" kind of response you seem to be having.

The weapons aren't going to turn the game into WoW 4.0, so just chill out and let the devs have a little artistic freedom over their own creation.
