Guild Wars 2

hi, what are these enveloping glow effects
and why are they so obnoxious.. thnx

The first is from the Legendary Sword – Bolt, combined with the Legendary Focus – The Minstrel (notice the little music notes in picture one’s glow).

The 2nd is the Legendary Greatsword Dawn, though I’ve NEVER seen it shine quite like that!

I see you’re playing the game on possibly the lowest graphical settings, so the muddiness of the glow may be intensifying its disturbing appearance.

Probably people stacking legendary effects. A video of that was linked elsewhere in these forums. Try googling for legendary stacking gw2 and see what YouTube link you find.

I think it’s a bug, since I have too seen people with their Legendary Aura being over shiny.

They’re called nolifer auras, the results of spending a ridiculously unhealthy amount of time in game.

Maybe they went Super Tyrian.

Bad jokes aside. Looks like a graphics glitch, my Sunrise does not shine like that.

The game is 16 months old. By now it’s called playing the game with a long term goal in mind and achieving it…

actually i think picture 1 is underwater legendary aura and not what malchior said

and yeh they glitched it out by equipping other weapons over the switchweapon or by using them while in a tonic and stacked the auras

The toon is dual wielding…you can’t do that under water.

It’s clearly holding the minstrel.

:O Hey that’s my character! (the left one)… The glow is from the underwater legendary Kraitkin + Bolt/Minstrel. If you use a tonic then transform back to human, you get the glow inland.

if you had read my whole post you would know that you can get the legendary underwater aura on land by glitching it out :P

there you go

Sorry, not kraitkin, it’s Kamohoali’i Kotaki… Kraitkin’s aura can’t be glitched inland. I tried. :/

Exploiiiiiiiiiting!!!!!

People are stacking auras to get them that bright.

:O wah it’s automatic.. you just get the aura immediately after using a tonic.

and at OP: How am I obnoxious?! :’(

Here’s a pic that i tried stacking auras multiple times. (Twilight, Bolt, Kamohoali’i Kotaki) using the infinite watchknight tonic.
