I read a post from July 2014 that said the night moon on Howler is gone, that is, Howler looks the same day and night. (Don’t know if I should have raised the post from the dead, it’s a month old.) Is that true? Extremely disappointing if so.

Managed to find a Youtube video showcasing Howler from a week ago.

Apparently not only is the full moon night effect gone, but the full moon only stays for a fraction of a second after skill use and then blinks out awkwardly like someone slapped a switch. It should fade out gently, IMHO, like the rest of its effects do. Also, part of what made Howler special was that it had a glowing full moon at night.

The fact that its subtle details were lost while fixing the AC transmute bug and the eternal howl bug make me wonder if I should switch tracks and go for another legendary because there is never any guarantee that Arenanet notices these things. This is stuff people spend hundreds to thousands of gold on. Some may be entirely happy simply to have a legendary with a faint aura and footsteps but IMHO it’s a legendary. It should be perfectly polished.

Please bring back the night moon glow and either keep the moon lit while the weapon is out or fade it out after a second. Right now it feels like the animation is broken.

( If I sound highly critical, it’s because I was hoping to acquire Howler at some point as aside from these . . . quibbles . . . it is my favorite legendary. :P )


EDIT: added word “Suggestion” and clarified title.
