Moondancer glow

Felexir

There's been so many patches and fixes since this problem first showed up and so many people have asked for this to fix. Moondancer staff glows in character select screen but not in the game. When will this issue finally be fixed? It's been brought up and known about since October (as far as I remember).

So many more pressing concerns with this game, I am serious!

No baiting or fighting intended*

This is literally in the PTS patch notes for next patch.

rhapsodious

Should be fixed next patch.

Maw of Lorkhaj
Fixed an issue where some weapons from Maw of Lorkhaj item sets (Twilight Remedy, Moondancer, Lunar Bastion, and Roar of Alkosh) were not properly displaying their special, purple visual effects, and were instead display the effects for their enchantment.

Unusually long load times, blue screens, etc. etc. and stupid things can get fixed 1st...Jeezeman!

LMAO

@JerzeeDevil I'm sorry if I upset you. I understand there are more pressing issues that should definitely get fixed first. I was mainly hoping for a response other than "it will be fixed in a future patch at some point". They don't have to fix it this second, I just wanted to remind them and hopefully get it thrown into a patch coming up. Looks like they did and now I'm happy

It just bums me out, NOT YOU or this thread....Some things might not never make sense, I guess.

It definitely feels like "Hey, look at this new mount!"...While sweeping obvious game play issues under the proverbial rug!

I also heard that to get the glow you needed the full 5 piece, not sure though

No, that one's not true. I run a Lunar Bastion lightning staff on my healer purely because it's pretty.

It actually has to do with the (original) trait. My charged lightning staff doesn't glow but my infused (originally precise) does. I think it's because charged was changed since MoL came out and precise was not. When I say changed I mean the effect, not the values, so I believe sharpened would still glow. I'm not 100% sure on this, it's just what I was told but it holds true for my staves.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification @Pink_Violinz and @Danksta

The major problems you mention likely require major internal testing, fixing, QA, deployment, etc. Whereas adding the glow fix to Maw weapons might take a day. As someone who works in software development, I can attest that there are times where I will spend months working on a single project and my manager will often encourage me to take a day or two off from main project to 1). not get burnt out, and 2). crank through a few quick and easy fixes so you can get a small sense of satisfaction from fixing something while also making some users happy for whom this niche fix is a big deal to them.

There is a balancing act between importance of fix, time required to make fix, number of users affected by fix, getting a reasonable number of fixes done every month/quarter/whatever, and so on.

Believe me, a Major Update whose patch notes consisted of nothing but one line that stated, "We improved speed of loading screens," would not be well received. Users want all hands on deck for the major fixes, but they also want 48 page patch notes with a million fixes and enhancements listed in it. Those are kind of mutually exclusive...

I know some people have been transmuting their staves and losing their glow. I hope they fix this as well. The only one I have is charged, and I'd like to change it to infused without losing my cool aesthetic glow.

ANGEL_BtVS

While we're at it can we make it so that we can change the color of the glow in the outfit system?

Seriously though, if we could get Abner Tharn's staff that would be awesome. I like that one so much more than Moondancer.

O_LYKOS

I've not lost the glow on any of my moon staves, even the transmuted ones. PS4 btw.

Well now I'm all kinds of confused. My charged staff never had a glow and my infused (that I transmuted from precise) does glow.
