Guild Wars 2

HELLO!

As you see in the picture when im previewing it, the black color is alot darker then when im wielding it in game cuz it looks grayish….and yeah….. that’s annoying….. and ugly….. fix please.

tnx luv ya

The blade hue is different because of the ambient lighting in the game world and the fact that the Preview and Hero Panel windows have a set ‘base’ for lighting that is separate from the game world.

The result is lighting on armor and weapons in the world will be different than seen in the preview/HP windows. Many areas of the world may permit the weapon to be seen as it is shown in those windows, but you would need to find areas of the world with similar lighting to that used in those windows.

I sometimes like the effect ambient lighting of the world has on my armor and weapons, though I also find many times that it completely ruins the appearance of my character by causing dyes on certain armor pieces to appear differently than I’d like.

Not much that can be done about, sadly. My method of compensating for the ambient lighting issues was to opt to have different armor sets and weapons depending on the zone I am in. This allowed for an appearance that is affected positively by the lighting of the zone instead of negatively. Not ideal for everyone, but it’s adds a bit of fun to my travels, as if I am actually gearing for my journey through the zone.
