Ugly raid gear effects

[Jojoya]

It's great for those who want "shiny" armor. Not so good for those who don't find it appealing.

I'm one who doesn't find it appealing. There's already way too much unnecessary visual effect clutter in the game that I'm turning off. I really didn't want more added to it.

That doesn't mean I don't want those effects available for those who do enjoy them.

I'd like to see SE add a system, probably based around something similar to a glamour system, so those who want various glows on their gear can add it as an option instead of making it a default part of the gear. In turn, it hopefully would make it possible for players to select a toggle that would disable seeing those effects on other player gear. It could also vastly improve system performance for those relying on older graphics cards.

In the meantime, the glamour dresser can get a good workout hiding it.

They're running out of idea's for armour so now they're just adding blingy, glittery shiny crap on to everything lol.
Just make it an options to turn off and on the lightshow. Same with Weapons too plox.

I think the gear itself is just ugly, but I think the particles would be better if they weren't "normal fire color (red/orange) or fantasy fire color (purple)".

The variants should have both been fantasy colors--like maybe purple fire or blue fire.

My one criticism of the flame rings is that they are hard anchored to the body piece such that the ring pivots with each swing of the shoulders during a run. If you're going to make floating effects like this, please make them independent of the armor model so that they can float smoothly behind the character without extraneous pivoting. The fire and ice effects from the crafted Zurvan weapons seem to be have their own inertia separate from their weapon models, so separating the flame rings from the Purgatory/Abyssos armor to make them move more naturally should also be possible.

Honestly, the Abyssos armor sets look pretty good in my opinion, even without the glows. That said, I don't mind the glows. I think that they tried something different but didn't really think it all the way through, but that's something they do pretty regularly anyway, the not thinking it all the way through thing I mean.
