It’s intended. During the day, or in different areas, I’m not sure exactly, it glows or doesn’t glow.

there were fixes to particle effects maybe this was the problem?

“Fixed a crash that can occur when previewing certain items
Fixed an issue with the Guild Mission activation not functioning correctly
Fixed a bug with a Guild Bounty Mission becoming blocked (not many players would have discovered this though, if any, due to the issue above)
Re-added visual effects to weapons made from the Mystic Forge that were recently removed:
Reaver of the Mists
Whisperblade
Illusion
Vision of the Mists
Lyss
Ilya
Spirit Links
Wall of the Mists
Abyssal Scepter
Ignus Fatuus
Mirage
Foefire’s Power
Aether
Azureflame
Eidolon
Foefire’s Essence
Urchin’s Needles”

Not a glitch, at night it glows and during the day it does not. It’s always been this way.

It’s the skin from Ascalonian Catacombs. All weapons from there have a visual effect at night only.

Yesterday for the first time my forge daggers started to glow at the mists.

I was like lolwut, I guess it’s finally night time now!

Maybe the mists are in the south pole?

In game night. Day/Night cycles are specified per zone (some like AC are permanently Night). You could try something like /time to see if it gives you ingame time.

All of the structure PvP maps have a fixed time of day. So some are always day and others are always night. This is why in some maps your weapon will glow, and in some it will not.

What about in HoM? When you preview the weapons they don’t glow.

I personally like it when skins change whether or not they have particle effects, -you- clearly don’t though…

I just looked into this, and found a minor bug with the way time was flagged in Heart of the Mists map. Time was being locked, but it locked to whatever time it was when the map first starts. So it would either be permanently daytime or permanently nighttime.
