Why on earth would you take away the glow effect when the foe fires/mist weapons are put away….. it makes no sense, what are you thinking? ……

WHAT??!? I just made that sword! This is not what I made in the Mystic Forge…I want my mats refunded! Cause if it’s not gonna glow I want my mats back cause a violet transparent blade is NOT what I made.

I would never have shoved 1 Eldritch Scroll, 100 Mystic Coins, 250 Ectos and 250 Orichalcum greatsword blades into the forge for this! I even bought gems to finish the kitten thing!! I will NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!

Absolutely ridiculous.

….I feel so bad for you…. sometimes you cant even see the Greatsword and the only thing you can see is theglow around the “Vision of the Mists” Greatsword….

maybe they did it because legendaries too have their specialeffects only when wielded
and its not fair that non-legendaries which are a lot cheaper have effects while not used and legendaries dont…

This is really sad… considering the effort I exerted gathering the materials to make my Mist weapon it feels so unfair. And a stealth update at that (no mention whatsoever in the release notes nor in any pronouncements prior to the update). If I had known they would be implementing this in this update I would’ve had second thoughts crafting mine. I feel sort of cheated….

I understand that it may be a step towards refining some of the game’s particle effects for increased performance but why these weapons? There are tons of particle effects in other areas of the game where you could have started. This move — directly impacting a player’s effort and stealthily applying it with nary an explanation, while not really answering any substantial game issue — simply leaves a bad taste….

I really hope this was unintended.

The new strategy of less frequent but of supposedly higher quality is really paying dividends.

On a completely unrelated note – my mesmer clones no longer wield Vision of the Mists (purple aura or not) or even Bifrost.

Apparently, it was too easy to find the human player amongst the clones.

Well, maybe it’s only me, but in general I do like it when weapons lose their particle effects when stowed. Maybe it’s just a bit weird for the mists weapons because they supposedly consist entirely of the glowing “ethereal essence” or whatever.. I do hope they did the same for the fiery dragon sword.

“I really hope this was unintended.”

So do I.

It really feels like having corrupted weapons. Not that I find them horrible but well… If I knew from the beginning that it wouldn’t glow I wouldn’t have crafted those weapons…

It’s like buying an iPhone 5 then you realize it’s just an iPhone 4.

“I feel sort of cheated….”

What the… I was so stunned when i logged in… just to find that my Vision of the Mist was so horribly nerfed. They removed the glow and the awesome double hilt it once had. I was farming all those expensive recources and waiting for so long to get this great sword – just to loose it after only 4 days. Why did they do that? What’s the point of removing it’s main selling point – something that made this weapons unique and great to have. I just have to pray that it was unintentional or they change it back.

The problem is that we made that blade with the knowledge that it would glow wielded AND stowed. For that weapon to be changed after the fact is unbelievable.

It’s not right. I’ve had my blade about two weeks.

I want my raw mats (yeah 6 stacks of ori as I have no use for blades at this point, mystic coins, and a stack of ectos) refunded or the gold in game equivalent and my skill pts returned.

I’ll mail the blade to who ever at Anet or destroy the blade. Which ever TPTB prefer. Cause I do not want it now.

What. The. Hell.

I am sitting on 1 Eldritch Scroll, 100 Mystic Coins, 250 Orichalcum Greatsword Blades, and 235 ecto. I have been working on this sword since Christmas because I know I’ll never be able to craft a legendary. Way to completely demolish everything I’ve been working toward. At first I was thrilled that they fixed “Pure Of Voice”, now I don’t even wanna log in this evening…

I’d rather regret something I’d done than regret doing nothing.

Well, I mean, you buy something and it isn’t what you have expected for. It’s just outrageous.

Mists Weapons and Foe Fire Weapons had just lost what made them unique.

It really is a shame, hope to have a fix soon! Or at least have a GOOD reason to their removal.

Really can’t believe this. If this really was intended, why? I worked so kitten hard with the knowledge that Wall of the Mists would be misty stowed. It just looks absolutely terrible now when it’s stowed away. I spent so long gathering all the mats up and now the skin’s changed? This isn’t what I worked hard for and it took bloody ages as well. Don’t know what to think anymore.

Been ingame now. It sucks. One doesn’t even see the vision of the mists anymore on the back of the character. I fell in love with this skin very early on, and worked hard to get the stuff together. I have had mine for months now, and I loved it! Now it’s just… meeeh.

If this is really intended, then better not buy stuff anymore. Who knows, they might just change the Abyssal dye and say us it’s red now. Oh wait, why not change the armor/weapon’s stats? That would be great, either way, nice job on this one.

You just ruined the effort of a lot of players.

I’ve read the topic, I got sweaty palms, rushed to my char with Abyssal Scepter and…
Q.Q
Dear God, all my ectos just got wasted on a purple stick.
What’s the point of trying to make weapons look like with legendary effect? (I mean like with twilight – you get no aura and stuff until you use it). It’s an exotic, it doesn’t have to hide its quality until it’s required to be taken!
Let’s just all claim our stacks of ecto back for making purple poop instead of Unique Mist/Foefire Weapons…

I would certainly like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think it’s a bug. However there’s a thread in the bug forum and here and no response. Given the cost of, say, Foefires Essence, this is certainly a ragequit level issue. They can settle it with one response. Of course, if they intend to say it’s intentional they’ll have to gear up for another PR event.

I hope it’s a bug. Up until now I had no problems with this game. It’s fun, no subscriptions, etc. Honestly I am pretty outraged by this. Well I won’t be spending anymore money in the gem shop or playing until this hopefully gets fixed. It’s a huge disappointment for many I can imagine. I think I may have to just shelf this game for awhile.

Intentional? Unintentional? Either way it doesn’t change the fact that we are now playing with horrible looking weapons (when stowed). In fact, I just don’t even feel like playing the game atm.

Well, that’s crazy to hear. I’m terrified to see what my Anomaly or Aether look like now.

I think the main drive for me to buy five of the Mist weapons from the TP and craft one Aether was for the particle effects showing while unsheathed. I really hope this gets reversed soon.

I’m not sure if it’s a bug – wouldn’t it be intentional for them to make such a change?
