Should Nightblade class be renamed?

AstroST

Do you think that the appropriate name for this kind of thing is Nightblade?

Danikat

No

Are you saying the name doesn't match the class mechanics? If so you should really explain what you mean in your post.

At the moment it looks like you're objecting to the way you've chosen to dress up your character not matching the class name, in which case it's a problem you've caused and the solution is to dress them appropriately if it bothers you rather than asking for the entire class to be re-named to match your design.

I could change everything on that characher (not mine) but for one thing that I cannot change.
A thing they imposed on us

emilyhyoyeon

Yes

Lightblade sounds fitting

Jazraena

No - name should be:

Torchbug.

Tell me you haven't realized what they changed last patch without telling me you haven't realized what they changed last patch.

The dress-up isn't the problem.

Taggund

Brightblade would work.

you do realize that merciless resolve Always had that effect if you're constantly engaged in combat with the class right? (assuming you're not a terrible player).

Did you only notice it now when you no longer need to cast it? Or are you saying you've only casted it once per hour when you played nb? do you mostly afk? or die a lot in pvp? nvm don't answer, u r so ight. [snip]

Did you only notice now the glow is permanenty active? Or are you saying you've permanently recasted it out of combat every 40/60 seconds? Did you, at any point, consider that people care how their characters look outside of the very non-permanent combat in this game?

Look, I'm not happy with the glow either, but red has always been the NB color in ESO. Shadow and blood and all that jazz. This is a bit much.

the1andonlyskwex

Red is the best light color for preserving night vision. Looks fine to me.

maybe there's no more good changes made to this game because everyone always seem to default to name-calling whenever someone has a valid complaint

CameraBeardThePirate

No

Valid complaint? This post oozes with ill-will and sarcasm. We get it, some people aren't a fan of the perma glow. It's already been discussed to death and the devs have acknowledged the push back on it multiple times.

Asking if an entire class' name should be changed over a minor visual effect that has no bearing on gameplay whatsoever feels entitled and a little passive aggressive. If they don't like the glow, state it and move on. Instead, OP made a post with an unrealistic solution and didn't even state the issue they're taking in the post.

OBJnoob

Yes

Ignoring all the politics... Yup, looks like a Nightblade/Rogue to me. Looks perfect to be honest.

I understand things shouldn't be glowing when they shouldn't be glowing. Hopefully they fix that... Cuz I mean, anything not working correctly should be fixed.

But honestly it looks cool. It looks killer. It looks shadowy. What's the problem exactly? From a visual standpoint I mean? Just the fact that it glows at all? That it isn't stealthy? I can wear all white, crouch 5 feet in front of an enemy, and go invisible. We just have a problem now?

Four_Fingers

No

At least NB doesn't have to run around with a lime green lollipop!

boi_anachronism_

No

I mean as a blade main for a long time im not crazy about it but i definitely read nb from it.

O_LYKOS

Yes

i meant no, i was thrown off by your additional question.

No it should not be renamed. yes its a fitting name for what you posted

Tandor

No

I don't particularly like any of the new flashy visual effects, but if someone doesn't like a visual effect then lobbying to be able to toggle it does seem a rather more constructive way forward than this thread. As it happens, this one seems to me to be much better than all the stuff associated with the arcanist.

AcadianPaladin

Oh, I get it now. This is another thread complaining about the grim focus permaglow. Which I also dislike especially when the weapon is stowed. Especially when the weapon is a gloambound one that, by design, disappears when you stow it until you summon it again. Walking around with a stowed gloambound staff and a silly red glowing ball over one shoulder is pretty high on the silliness list. Thank Kynareth for alts so my magblade can rest until this perhaps gets fixed.

The gloambound situation is the first time I've been convinced that the permanent glow is an actual problem and not just an aesthetic preference, so thanks for sharing.

ItsNotLiving

No

Do we really need more threads on this? I mean to me it just seems so silly to be so mad at it. It even looks cool in most cases plus if you hate the look so much why not just take it off your bar until you want to use it?

cyclonus11

No

No. You're literally wielding blades... at night. I don't see how the term Nightblade doesn't fit.

LukosCreyden

Darth-Blade.

thankfully arcanist doesn't have a perma green lollipop just for slotting a key skill!

notyuu

The poll is missing a 4th option of "who cares"

DrNukenstein

No

The red glow lets you know who knows when you load into a BG. It's great.

LesserCircle

No

No it shouldn't, but remove the permaglow

ZOS_Icy

Greetings,

This thread has been moved to the Combat & Character Mechanics section, as it is better suited there.

Thank you for your understanding.

Major_Toughness

No

This change is the biggest buff to NB in recent times.

merpins

No - name should be:

Carpal Tunnel

Amottica

Yes
