Guild Wars 2

Ok, so there are hundreds of weapon skins and most people are running with weapons from AC… Why? Because of their glow/particle effects! And this is understandable.

But why there is no option to add that kind of effect to every weapon skin out there?

A see two options here:
1. Glow effects could be sigil dependent. Different sigils could create different glow effects.
2. Add Enchanting profession.

I wouldn’t really like this idea. Almost every other mmorpg-game has that enchanting system and in the end everybody has a weapon that glows. No variety what so ever.

In the end everyone in Gw2 has a weapon that glows…. The problem is that it always has the same skin.

If I were to start a list whit all the different weapons that have particle effects; it would reach 3 pages. Yes, there are some weapons that glow and are fairly popular due to the fact that some are easy to get like ghastly weapons. Still the best looking ones are legendarys and mystic crafts that require great amounts of effort to acquire. Each weapon with particle effect is designed specially for the weapon in question and I think that is what makes them so special.

I personally like my ghastly glowing, cause it is limited to night, but i love the day-version even more. It would be annoying to have only glowing weapons. (I would never use a legendary, the glow is soo annoying).

Peacemaker weapons glow violet, molten weapons orange, corrupted weapons blue… The blue flames of ghastlys are may stronger, but that is also not only liked. I really dont want to see only players running around like christmas trees

I would like to see a system of adding varied particle effects, glows or sounds to weapons depending on the sigils, runes or weapon rarity, some seen only during night time, others seen only during daytime, other seen all the time others only when in combat stance.
A good example for this are the Christmas weapon skins from last December.

To solve the problem of “I really dont want to see only players running around like Christmas trees” an option to disable weapon glows will be a good addition

Not true,and you’re also forgetting about the Corrupted skins.
