Stardust Rod was broken in 2.2 or 2.3...

**Vinta** · 10-16-2015 02:34 PM

See that black dot floating away from the Stardust Rod's gem? It's where spark effects come out when the Black Mage is casting. It used to be inside the gem.

I'd love a community representative to please pass along to the devs that this annoying graphical bug that has existed for about four content patches now and I haven't seen any attention given to it. I know the Stardust Rod and Lilith's Rod is technically obsolete, but it still makes for a beautiful glamour piece barring this glitch.

I do not care one bit about why this happened or any reason the devs would defend themselves with. This is sloppy and unacceptable in a game of this quality.

Naw.. I'm sure they'll go right along side Dark Aura's flame effect. Unless its something that is happening to a lot of people and not just one or a sporadic few. Its then likely to go on unnoticed my the masses. There could always be a chance its just a driver issue if that screen was from a pc.. Then again I have not noticed anything off about other peoples effects besides the one with Dark Knight and the glowing weapon glitch (do folks still do that?). May be it was changed to look like a void is the source of that weapons power. A side from that, there's really not much to go on with just a screen grab on its face value.

But yeah, the valley of lost posts would be a good place to start looking if this was already accepted or if others have mentioned this bug/glitch from 2.2 ~ 2.3 ish.

Except that's not a bug. The dev team already confirmed they purposely removed the flame effect due to how it looked with certain animations, running, and while mounted (it was unnerving and unnatural).

We've been getting a lot of questions regarding the black flame aspect of the Darkside effect that was shown off in the job actions video and how it changed for release. The first thing to note is that the video showcased graphics and animations that were still under development. While the black flame animation looked great while standing still, it began to look very unnatural in many other instances, such as moving or while mounted, and so on. As such the dev. team decided to remove this aspect of the effect.

I've gotten an in-game reply to one of my bug reports once.
They certainly do not ignore bug reports.

Don't worry, friend; I won't ignore your post.

That was a bug? I thought it was a neat weapon effect.

Maybe the bug was how it was originally and this was the intended way? :S
