The Feedback About Igneous Weapons Look Was for Nothing

Many players wrote that they would prefer the look of their weapons to not be overridden by the look of the new Igneous Weapons animation.

The new look of the skill isn't even the only tacky thing about it. It also makes a whipping sound. How unecessarily sassy.

Needlessly to say, I want my weapons to look like my weapons. I want to hear a whip when I cast whip.

How excessive, disneyfied, and, honestly, sad for the DK. I don't play WoW for good reason.

This commemoration is for the class that has constantly been plundered and dismantled by designers for no obvious reason while other classes continue to have coherent skill lines and feel both powerful and cool.

    Hopefully someone can release an addone to suppress the skills look and sound.

    really my only complaint with the DK rework. the models that replace your weapons are bulky and hideous.

    The overwrought visual effects are all way too much. I’ve gone into several BGs where I literally couldn't tell what was going on because of all the hyper-bright flame and particle effects. And the sounds just feel unnecessary. Not just with DK, but they’ve added sounds to the menu options, like confirming a queue and respecs.

    No one should be surprised that feedback was ignored. ZOS did as ZOS does.

    For some reason oversized weapons are all the rage in RPGs these days. So many games now have player characters wielding weapons twice their own size and body mass like they were ordinary utensils.

    Fitting them in to this game is a bit jarring in my opinion. But :shrug:, it is what it is.

    I thought they looked sick, I got multiple messages about how badass they look today also, people thought it was a new motif at first.

    Its a weapon power up so I feel like things like that, summoned weapons basically, or spells, they're supposed to look crazy.
    Zos then: Vengeance is just a test bro

    Zos now: Do you want Vengeance permanent or permanent...

    They do, nauseating.

    The new weapon is much better looking that the weapon you had equipped anyway.

    Ah, I see. Another successful modernization, after successfully modernizing the UI and the writing.

    What a horrible change. Didn’t they learn after the glow for that one NB ability? It’s always one step forward, two steps back with ZOS.
