Glowing weapons : a visual plague

[Rikizza]

I like glowy weapons but i agree that some are a bit over the top. I like glowing details and glitter (LOVE glitter) but i dont like the full on tornado of color and glow that some weapons have, those where you basicially dont Even see the weapon anymore.xD But i want SE to add all options. Some people really like those crazy color tornado glow weapons, and some like the toned down glow weapons, and some like no glow at all. It would be boring if we had no options and even worse if everyone liked the same stuff.

What, this mess?



Which is unfortunate because it's a pretty nice minigun under all that.

Imo they could have used a red overheat style to the minigun.
But they have been nailing with the lasts machinist relics model wise(still very happy of the final version of Shadowbringer)

I almost exclusively use glowing weapons so op we are mortal enemies.

Glowing weapons don't even look good..

Some of the designs are a bit gaudy, but some are rather nice. My BLM is still sporting the Stardust Rod Novus. I think the whole effect of that weapon is rather understated and elegant. Not everyone likes that, though. Some folks like the kind that really catches your attention.

So I'm not really sure what the complaint is here, that you don't like them for yourself (don't use) or you don't like that other folks like them and glamour them?

Honestly the only ones that feel like they border on excessive are the rewards from Ultimate Trials. But I feel like those were intentionally made to be seen from space.

Can we have a glowing PvP weapon that intensifies for each win?

So eventually you pull it out and flashbang whole limsa.

One of the reasons I decided not to main a reaper as my melee dps was because how absurdly limited their weapon glams are.

It is going to be the same with the next new jobs, gonna be painful

Honestly, I just get the Kinna weapons from PotD for any new classes.

It's not the greatest thing in the world, but still pretty nice on quite a few weapons.

I have the opposite issue with glowing weapons, I have too many of them and they are mostly rotting in the retainer inventory...

In the house you can glitch a few mannequins but its limited and painful to execute - the glow isn't even visible out of combat.
Maybe make a macro that executes battle pose and swaps weapons but guess what - the glow is not visible when changing in emote movement and you need a gearset with every weapon separately...
