A little over a week ago there was a patch that fixed the visuals on a few weapons such as Vision of the Mists to make it less transparent when stowed (more visible), and one on the Ghastly Grinning Shield that gave it more smoke effect. I noticed on both of them, before the patch fix, when you previewed the weapons the effects would display properly, but when equipped they were not the same as the preview. After the patch I noticed Vision was much brighter and it looked like the preview finally! I started using it again and was absolutely loving it…then a small bug patch a week or so later reversed these awesome visual changes, now I cant see my sword again. Please let me see my sword!
Also, I realize I have different dyes, but it doesn’t help either way.
