Prior Thierric Arms Pack visuals

Vicquemare

Okay, so I've been looking to this arms pack since I saw last month's crowns store showcase, and it finally got released today. While I was taking a closer look on each type of weapon, I noticed that the effects on the staff and shield are far more prominent than on the rest of the weapons for some reason. Instead of a slight glow they got really huge reddish shadowy cloud around them and to me it just looks somehow... unnerving? I wondered is this a visual bug or is it supposed to be that way? Can't it be toned down?
I saw someone wearing the staff in Leyawiin, they ran past a player with gloam gryphon fledgling pet, and that cloud looked almost as big and dark as the pet...

Yeah the staff visual is definitely interesting. I don't know yet if I love it or hate it.

I will say this is probably my favorite arms pack in recent memory though, I think besides my iffiniess with the staff visual they did a knockout job with this arms pack. I also love how they did the weapon swapping with it.

Makes me incredibly excited to see the sound, and effect designs for future arms packs!

the purple glow will hurt the eyes so bad after a few minutes using it,

ofcourse non of the videos are mine, it's just to show.

I wouldn't know what class fits with this set's animations, perhapes... nightblade?, i mean nightblades skills are all red, so having a colored weapon like this that still keeps a red aura would look really good on nightblade id say, but who knows, i don't have this monster arms pack.

- that being said if possible decrease how strong the purple glow when swapping weapons is, thank you.

I'll be honest, really sad i can't afford this arms pack currently.
I do hope more arms pack in the future have the slashing/attacking effect prior-thierric has, it just makes the attack animations look stronger

idk why, but the slashing animation just makes me think of a skittles commercial

imagining the character yelling "taste the rainbow!" as your slashing them to pieces lol

People on Reddit noticed it too

Maybe it was designed to be paired with Oakensoul

My first thought was "ESO pride" honestly, but "taste the rainbow" works too.

I use it on my vampire-themed magblade as the effects are very similar to the vampire skill line effects and match well with general Nightblade vibes. The dual daggers with Merciless Resolve and Siphoning Attacks active look absolutely incredible.

They should make it so that it's a splash of purple light instead of a bright glare. Like a brief glow.

It's a serious issue for people with even mild sensory issues, and a distracting eyesore for a lot of people without it. Imagine a bright glare every time someone bar swaps in a dungeon.

I would love the option to disable those weapon glow effects, in the same way we can disable mount speed/stamina/capacity upgrades from showing.

For example the new Prior Thierry shield looks great really, and I would've bought the pack if it wasn't utterly ruined by the black/pink cloud of hell that surrounds it, it is just a blob that obscures the visuals.

The same goes for the other weapon packs too, it would be much easier to fit them to characters without those neon colours that clash with everything.

The flash is a safety issue. People are going to have seizures. Personally I am blinded for several seconds after I see the flash and need time for the after image to clear, by which time they've swapped bars again and there's another damn flash.

It's ridiculous how bad this design is. The rainbow on some weapons is very cool and imo is plenty of an effect to make the set worth buying, we shouldn't also give *** players the option to ignorantly or maliciously trigger seizures and migraines in everyone around them

I love glowy weapons and colours, like the Opal styles, but I find these quite OTT. I also really dislike the large red/black aura that surrounds them constantly, as it reminds me of auras of corruption in ESO. I don't RP but despite that I feel like I need to have a necromancer or evil character to use these.

Still, on the positive side, I'm hopeful that they will give us more subtle glowy styles like the Opal ones in the future.

I like the style especially the staff but I’m not buying it with the red glow. Can’t see actual non cosmetic combat and buff effects and it would be a distraction.

I love it ;-D For me it has a district chracteristics than the other arm packs, especially when you swing (besidesThe Gloambound armour style)

Any1 seen the shield yet?

They are too bright and too flashy. Literally causing pain to some people.

Pity because the weapon themselves look nice. Would get them without the effects.
