Zenimax, please change the Bound Armament animation!

Now I'm as grateful as anyone for the recent change, it's great being able to see my own armour now but the new effect is way too distracting and if I'm to be honest, I am envious of the Bound Aegis animation, it's really cool.

Here's a screenshot:

You can see that there is a purple wave effect in the bottom left hand corner of the image, it goes in and out constantly when the effect is on, long and short it's in the way and the effect at the bottom of the screen, whilst more tolerable, does get in the way as well.

I think it would be much better to have the weapon glow purple as well as your person, that way we could get a visual indicator without the screen effects in the way and it would look way cooler. Please, please make a change.

    I took another screenshot with better lighting and more of the effect shown, just to emphasis the point.

    I also showed my example here on forum but ZOS doesn't care, so don't expect much interest :).

    I was just about to make a thread regarding this, but I see there are like-minded people here.

    This is a very cumbersome problem for someone who enjoys playing in first-person mode and exploring the world, having this swirly effect right in my face every few seconds, not to mention the constant glow on the bottom screen.
    It's absolutely dreadful to play with, and a constant distraction from what is otherwise a very nice looking game.

    Please change this Bound Armaments effect, Zeni!

    I love the new bound armaments animation. If you want to role play in first person, then don't cast the buff. I can't imagine any one actually trying to play this game in first person while also taking it seriously.

    Leave it as is, Zeni. The new animations look great.

    Are you saying you like it in third person or first person? Because it's a big difference.
    In third person, it can stay like it is, as it's not obstructing my view there. But.. in first person it's really an eyesore and I imagine I would get a headache playing with it for too long.

    As for you, this issue holds no relevance, as you clearly don't use first person to begin with.

    Lol who would use first person on a sorcerer? Their animations are all over the top. You light up like a Christmas tree once you're fully buffed
    Anyway, we finally have a really nice bound armaments animation and I'd hate for them to tamper with it ruin what we have. If they could just change it for first person without changing the third person version, then sure go ahead!
