Guild Wars 2

I bought a makeover kit for the express purpose of changing the skin/glow color of my Sylvari, as I am sure many other people have.

When I first opened the kit, I couldn’t see her glow at all, even with the light icon ‘off’. This was more than slightly annoying after having payed 350 gems for the kit.

After monkeying around for about 2 hours, I was finally able to figure out a fix. For some reason, if you change the gender of your character and go to the ‘glow slider’ (below the glow color selection), it will be completely turned off (slider pulled all the way left). If you slide it all the way back ‘on’ (slider pulled all the way right), the glow will magically reappear, and you can change your gender back to your starting gender, glow intact.

Common ANet, fix this! A slider is just in the wrong place…

Here is one thread talking about the issue:

Awesome, thanks for posting a work-around for this. I tried the temp gender swap and it caused the glow to appear as described.

:)

This workaround works for me as well.

Once you switch back to your original gender, the glow slider doesn’t work still. Because it’s using the wrong slider: the male slider affects the female Sylvari, and the male slider affects the female.

As OP says, it seems like an easy fix…
