Guild Wars 2

Urgh, the unsightly hand glow. Can we dim it right down? Or have a toggle to toggle it off?

It is unnecessary, since your utility and UI change colour based on the theme of your current legend.

The main reason why I dont like it is because to clashes with colour palettes I choose to dress my gear with. It severely limits dye choices, particularly Shiro’s Green.

Anyone else agree? Let’s remove the useless things.

I find the glow awesome.. add character!

but let us toggle it on and off for people like you. Just do not remove it.

I actually love it too. It was designed with the class since the first BW. I don’t know why they must remove it when they is actually a lot of people who like it. I think it’s pretty usefull too, visually, in pvp or pve to see what legend he is channeling without clicking on his portrait.

No thanks. Leave my hand glow alone. I love them where they’re at now. If anything, they need to be made more intense. I think there too dim now.

An option would be nice.

I hardly notice it to be honest. Looks more like a pale mist to me…

I like it. But I can see why some people don’t, and a option would be nice.

Its funny how I haven’t found anyone who likes it or cares for it, but put it on the forums and suddenly there is a loud minority for something useless.

I don’t mind if people like it, but the fact that it clashes with some of my personal appearance choices, then limits the skins and colours I choose. I don’t like that. If Anet never put it in, no one would care.

The more I think about it, an opacity slider would be the ideal solution! I happen to think the herald decal is too intense and can be toned down quite a bit too.

But completely removed is fine by me. I’d rather have full choice of my characters appearance rather then something forced onto me that serves no practical purpose. I hope Anet considers giving us the choice.

If it would atleast out of combat vanish i would be happy

Bu i’m in team #noglow

Can you not Op.
I don’t care about toggling,but please don’t get it completely removed or toned down.

I totally respect your preferences, but wouldn’t you say that stating “nobody cares for it” and that now a “loud minority defends it” are quite the claims?

I am in the “leave it as it is, or add an option” camp-it’s part of the original design, and a possible “con” of the Profession not being just a “regular” Warrior/Guardian. To force-remove it altogether to please even higher than 50% of the players would be a shame to the Profession’s concept (and yes, I know it’s not “important,” and even I usually don’t like glowy eyes/gloves/whatever on my characters-this is a Revenant, though.)

I like the glow. It fits, it’s thematically appropriate.

See how that works?

Keep it and add a toggle in my opinion.

Toggle or slider are best solution: everyone wins!

An option would be fine, but I will riot if it just gets removed altogether. I loooove the glow.

An option for one class? Sure. Have we asked to berserker if they love to have red glow on hands? Have you ask elementalist is they want to havae glowing magic on there hands? I don’t think so. And i don’t know why they are going to add an option for a only class. Moreover they have toons more important work, like fixing bugs and balacing classes.
Keep the glow!

Game aint just about you bro.

Its a unique part of being a revenant that needs to stay. Just like the element attunement of eles or the constant aegis of the guardian, or the shatter effects of the mesmers clones and weapons. Its a unique part of the class that should remain. If the minimal hand glows are affecting your style this choice you should check your priorities.

There’s really no reason for it to be there outside of combat, or at least make it disappear when your weapon is stowed.

I know the feeling OP. It sucks when a game design choice cramps your style. I don’t really mind the subtle hand glows or the Ele attunement though because they are subtle. At least they don’t completely ruin shield skins like that stupid Aegis wart.

we already lost the legends speaking out of combat, stop trying to rob us of what makes us us!

DO NOT TOUCH MY GLOW!!!

Our Hero’s of Tyria are in dire need of help and are stranded in the deep Jungle and you worry about the glow around your hands… shame on you..

This comes up time and time again. There have been different suggestions how to handle this (remove it OOC/with weapons stowed, a toggle, a slider) but regardless if you like it or not, there IS a request to allow us to manage this ourselves.

So, Roy, please consider an option for this.

Everything you stated is only in combat(stance). the Revenant Glow is permanent. If it would be the same like the Ele Attunements only showing while in combat/ with drawn weapon. i think most would be happy with that

If it’s a color clash in combat, then most of your Legend skills will color clash too, so I would say that’s irrelevant.

If you’re out of combat, maybe just pick a Legend with a glow that compliments your armor?

THIS!!! i was hoping i would find a thread about this. I can’t even play revenant/elementalist/guardian and i had to shelve my warrior(berserker) because of the glows. I love the mechanics of the revenant and elementalist and i really want to play them but i just cant get over the ugly glows on their hands. I know too most people this sounds stupid, but to me its extremely important.

Honestly i wouldnt even mind if they were only their during combat, leave them off even if i unsheathe my weapon. Have them turn on when they start combat.

really love the glow.. it could be brighter and more visible for my taste. It fits good with my character style.

tbh does ppl have no other problems than “oh gosh my hands glowing i dont like it, i cant play that class” .. that sounds so dull. :p

Americas next Topmodel, the Game would be better in this case, than GW2.

The only good solution is to just add in a toggle. Everyone wins.

Well, i’m not concerned with any Meta or PvP balance stuff…soo yes the look is quite important for me.
