Guild Wars 2

I don’t know what everyone else thinks about this, but I feel the Ghastly weapons are super awesome at night, and totally unattractive during the day. I think its not too far-fetched to say that most players (if not all) are purchasing the Ghastly weapons for their unique animation at night, and not their daytime animation (except maybe the greatsword, cuz it still looks cool during the day). Which is why I would absolutely LOVE to see the skins reworked so that they constantly glow blue, regardless of what time it is.

All of the ghostly enemies or any npc who is weilding the Ghastly weapons, are all weilding them in their blue/glowing nightime form, so why can’t we? I think giving us the blue/glowing animation only at night makes the Ghastly weapons less appealing because we are buying these weapons specifically for that animation, and we only get to see it half of the time at best, or maybe even less than that depending on when you have time to play. There’s just nothing special or visually appealing about the daytime skin on the Ghastly weapons, nothing there that validates your time spent on acquiring those weapons. I may be alone in this, but I think it would be awesome to see those weapons glowing blue all the time.

I wish there was a way to poll on this, but yeah, does anyone else feel the same way?

I’d rather have my ghastly dagger not to glow at all.

I think they should add an option to choose which effects you want to display or not on every weapons.

I completely agree, the daytime skin is very lackluster and just does not feel quite as epic as the night-time skin. It feels like a waste of time and effort to get a ghastly weapon when, half of the time, it only looks a little better than the Krytan skin.

Really? I find the daytime skins to be some of the more well-designed in the game(look at the Greatsword). The cool glow during nighttime is a sweet bonus.

i playing at max details, but my ghostly GS from AC does not glow. it turns light blue in darker areas, but i do not see the cool effects. playing at “best appearance” settings.

I think the fact that the weapon appearance changes depending on the time of the day is one of the coolest things about the weapon set.

Definitely – this is part of the concept behind the Ghastly gear set, please don’t change this Anet. They can maybe make the daytime skin a bit more appealing, but leave the glow for night-time. And DON’T make it an option for user to choose whether to have weapon with glow or not at all – again, it’s the concept, don’t like it, get another weapon.
