[SUGGESTION] Class motifs from Archive for all classes but only glowing for corresponding class

AnduinTryggva · May 26

I think it is a pitty that the class motifs from the endless archive are only available for the respective class. Some ppl like a specific style but don't have the corresponding class. And considering that class change tokens likely will never happen these ppl will be exluded to that specific motif.

So maybe it could be a viable compromise to make the style wearable by all classes but it only gives the glow when the class of the toon corresponds to the style. (ideally with a toggle off option in the menue to turn the glow off if someone does not like the glow at all even if the class is the right one).

Yeah, but the style alone isn't what causes the glow. Its the actual set that causes the glow. SO that would never makes sense.

Nightblade mask is not up for grabs

no it is the style and the set.
5 of either can give you the glow.

You know, in Update 40, the class styles were previewable on any character and 5 pieces of the style didn't give the glow.

It was specifically a change done in U41 to make them locked and to make the outfit styles give the glows as well, which is completely counter to any other style in the game.

I was (and still am) very disappointed in this change - so much so that it's basically nuked me desire to play IA. It's not like I specifically wanted any of the styles (I know everyone's on about the NB mask which is cool, but I didn't really have any outfits in mind), but the precedent of making class-locked cosmetics for the first time and sticking a permanent glow are what I don't like.

Again, this is not a consequence of the glows on the sets, this is a deliberate choice in U41 to make them class locked and to retain the glow on the styles if 5 are used. And unfortunately, we never got a Dev Comments to explain this one... now have they taken any feedback about this change.

On Xbox NA, having 5 pieces of the style will not give your character the glow, at least with 2 of the five being weapons.

While I do enjoy not having to bother with IA, it is sad that they killed the possibility of people engaging with it for those outfit styles. I know I wanted some of the templar pieces originally and I'm sure I could have found a use for the nightblade mask in some outfits, but as I'm a sorc.... well. And the sorcerer stuff is terrible, looks like some base game overland set from 10 years ago so I extra won't ever bother.

You need 5 pieces of the armour, the weapons; being that they're the same for all classes just the symbols change; don't count for the glow for style.

The glow effect ruins the look of the set, same reason I no longer use Grim Focus or it's morphs.
