Guild Wars 2

There should be a way to toggle the glow effect to either be always on, always off, or the day/night feature it has now. It’s really annoying that my sylvari looks kind of bland during the day and amazing at night. This goes the other way too, there are a lot of people who make a sylvari and don’t know about the glow at all (since no other race has something like this). This causes a lot of distress among people who roll sylvari.

To show what I mean about my sylvari:

No glow.

With glow.

The glow makes a HUGE difference. During the day she has dull yellow eyes and brown hair, but at night she has bright yellow eyes that really stand out and hair with orange tips. I want my sylvari to always look amazing, not just look amazing at some random day/night cycle.

Heh. ‘Random’ day/night cycle.

Is there a lore reason for the glowing only happening at night? It seems weird to me that they would glow specifically at night, if they glow bright enough you could see it in daylight too. Would it not still serve… whatever purpose it has?

I can’t really think of a practical purpose for the glow. That’s not a very good way of avoiding getting eaten by nasty things in the jungle.

Some things really are just put there to look nice.

Heh. ‘Random’ day/night cycle.

It’s random because of overflow servers. I’m constantly entering and exiting overflows of LA that aren’t synced up. It’s only noticeable if you play a sylvari though (or somehow got that legendary GS that requires both other legendaries).
