Firstly, thank you for adding unique visual and sound effect for Aether staff, finally it won't look like a regular, crafted ruby ash staff 
Secondly - people many times asked for fixing Moondancer staves - the main problem was that it has its glowing effect only in "old" traits, like sharpened or defending. Infused ones sadly didn't have any glow. But on PTS I've changed my glowing sharpened staff to infused one and it's glowing like it should!
It's not a bug fix but well, at least it's nice that we a have possibility to keep that glow on our staves

✭✭✭✭✭Yea, that's because the visual bug isn't tied to the trait, but rather to the item's ID. Since trait change works like a "costume" of sorts that overrides the innate trait, it means that retraiting does not change the item's ID (and you can examine a retraited item's ID to know what the original trait was).
That having been said, since HotR, MD's glow is visible only by you. Your allies will not see that glow--probably suppressed by the allied visual effect suppression.Nightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

✭✭This change to IA staff (visuals, sound effects) - it's on the PTS, right? And which traits does it affect? All of them or - similar to Moondancer - only some of them, like sharpened?0 -

I don't think OP meant that all traits of Moondancer staff will start to glow... As I understand it (correct me if I'm wrong), if you have a glowing staff right now (like sharpened), it will be still glowing even if you transmute it to e.g. infused trait (currently not glowing). But if you have infused trait right now, it won't start glowing after the patch, since transmutation does not alter the ID of an item being transmuted.0 -

My Moondancer staff only glows when it needs to be charged and on my character selection screen.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA0 -

✭✭✭✭Eh. Not a fan of the pink.
It's pink because aether proc is in pink colour. Also, it matches to vAA visuals.That having been said, since HotR, MD's glow is visible only by you. Your allies will not see that glow--probably suppressed by the allied visual effect suppression.
Nope. My my friend have 1 sharpened and 1 infused staff, and I can see the glow of the sharpened one.
Others also see glow on my staff.This change to IA staff (visuals, sound effects) - it's on the PTS, right? And which traits does it affect? All of them or - similar to Moondancer - only some of them, like sharpened?
Yes, it's on PTS. The staff which I'm holding is lighting infused one. I don't have any other aether staves in other traits, but I'm sure all of them have this glow.my infused moondancer staff is blue when im at the character menu but not when i actually log in
Yes, it's a bug. Your staff have probably one of the "new" traits (like infused for example). If it would be sharpened, you would have glow also outside of character menu.FloppyTouch wrote: »No weapon dye but at least I know I can run around with a pink weapon!
It's not pink all the time. This visual and sound effect can be seen only when you swap weapons.

✭✭Wierd... out of curiosity I tried it on the PTS yesterday and I had no such pink glow on my aether infused staff... It looks exactly the same as it is now on live, i.e. pretty cheap and poor ^^0 -

✭✭Sweet, makes the infused Aether staff I've had lying around for forever that much better

BigBadVolk✭✭✭✭✭The Gods have heard our plea!!! Cant wait to get my Aether staff, also kinda intrested if they had given special effects to Architect staves too "The ass is similar to the opinion: Everyone has it, but no one cares about the others!"
