Guild Wars 2

So I’ve done search commands to see if I could find any posts about this and I couldn’t which makes me wonder if it is just something on my end.

Anyway, I just recently managed to make Quip, its my first legendary, so I don’t have any other legendaries to compare to it. But I’ve noticed something regularly with it. Every once in a while when I draw my weapon the purple aura just isn’t there. It’s not like its faded since I know auras aren’t as strong during the day, it just isn’t there. No purple mist.

To add to this the confetti steps that occur while I have Quip equipped don’t always seem to go off. It’s random but I could go hundreds of steps with confetti and then 50 steps without it, then 2 steps with confetti and then 100 without them.

Is this something common with the legendaries and their auras/effects? Or something common and specific to Quip? Or is it just something on my end, or maybe because I have other effects on my character such as the purple mist glow from chaos gun in my offhand or the purple mist glow from Mawdrey?

I have The Juggernaut and my armour turns shiny 99% of the time (glitches once in a while) and the footsteps have always been there… Maybe it’s just a Quip thing.

After some further testing with my mesmer using the Quip I’ve discovered this appears to only be a thing with my engineer. As to why that is the case I have no clue yet. While my mesmer wielded quip the aura and footsteps were there every time.

I believe the legendary effects disappear if you use any kit/bundle – but perhaps that wasn’t the case here?

Happens to me too, though only on my laptop with mid/low settings ->
