Guild Wars 2

I saw two people today glowing like this, and I hadn’t seen it before. That or I just wasn’t interested in knowing at the time I had seen it. Either way, they are glowing all over in a bluish-white light. Not just the outside, like Sunrise. This screenie I took has one. I’m the Charr in the middle, she’s immediately to the left. She was glowing before she had Kudzu equipped.

Another guy who was glowing had Zodiac armor, but the light is clearly more white than blue.

It’s just games bloom effect. Bright surfaces reflect light and are supposed to imitate blinding effect. Brightly dyed armors, specially heavy (metal) ones might “glow” like amsterdam brothel at night.

EDIT: And Heart of the Mists has this “misty” filter added, that makes such bloom more visible. Cuz you know. It makes the place look… “misty”.

My gloves have Celestial dye on the metal studded part. Those don’t glow at all. The screenie doesn’t show it that well, but the body glows, not just the armor. Their skin has an “aura” coming off of it. My fur is white and nothing is glowing on that.

“Reflect the light”. It’s all about the angle, where the source of light is, armor type and texture. It is just graphical effect of the game. Been there since day one. I always hated how HotM bloomed like this

I just don’t believe it’s that simple/complex. I think that glow means something. The one guy was ranked in the top 80 on the leaderboards. Perhaps highly ranked people glow in the Mists…?
