Glows for bows?

Unread post by Kaellan »

Are there any enchants for bows? Or are they going to do something else for them?

If we end up with bowglows, hope we can opt-out. They've been making noises about making enchant visual effects optional. If not, I foresee a thread in the transmog forum about bows that hide enchants :)

*nod* I wouldn't mind if we didn't get enchant glows on our ranged weapons, I find all too often that the glows detract from a weapon's appearance, or clash with a transmog scheme.

I definitely hope Blizzard goes through with the idea of making the visual an optional effect that you can click on or off like a helm/cloak.

I've been really hoping for a way to turn off glows. A full, bright red transmog and green weapon glow makes me look like I'm all Christmas-y... Bwahahaha.

If they do make glows for bows, though, I am kind of curious how they'd do it. Just along the bow string? Along the bow itself? Or both?

At the very least, if there's no way to turn it off, I hope they don't make the glows blindingly bright... x.x

Gosh I hope they don't make ranged weapons show enchants. I finally will be able to get rid of my melee glowsticks I don't want that to be ruined by a glowing bow.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong. I actually do enjoy enchant effects (Savagery, Mongoose, and Power Torrent being a few favorites), it's just that when said effects clash with my transmog, or begin to hurt my eyes after a while, I really end up wishing there was a toggle to show/not show them. Like cloaks and helms. :mrgreen:

At the same time, I'm willing to say it'd probably be pretty difficult to add a toggle for it. >< At the very least, it'd be nice to have a few more choices with a few more colors, but they essentially add the same thing. It's not a necessity at all, though. Just a wish. XD

I thought that too. xD I like them and I typically like all of them. But I suppose that's because I'm not too picky as long as something is shiny and colourful, hehe.

I have a love/hate relationship with weapon enchants. It really depends on whether a) I like the color and now, more importantly, b) whether it matches my transmog - which it often does not. Sigh. So by that reasoning, I won't mind not having a visual representation of an enchant.

I LOVE enchant glows!!! :D However, I wouldn't mind seeing an option for them. Sometimes, the glows just don't fit the weapon or hide too much of it. Though, enchants like that are perfect options for the weapons you don't like or don't want to see too much of.

This pretty much sums it up for me. Green glow + orange transmog = le sigh.
