[Poll] SoX Item Glow

stimmedcow · Post by **stimmedcow** » Thu Jun 15, 2006 5:41 pm

How about it? Only SoX, high level +'s of regular gear won't glow. I'm talking about everything other than weapons and shields.

Me, I say yes. After using my L16 + 3 SOS Glaive, I think SoX items should all glow, making characters really stand out that use them. Eye candy for the win

Something I wish they'd add for the patch.

Not really. I don't want to see glowing bodies walking around everywhere.

shiz just doesn't want people to know that he doesn't glow.

I could care less about any glowing the only thing that matters is that I'm alive and you are not. Take it away from weapons and shields, maybe it will reduce the lag. Its just another way for people to show off.

not glow it would be a dam light bulb if someone had all sos including shield sword...maybe if the armor had a "shine" to it maybe brighter than normal then that would be cool

Only weapons and sheilds, I think. At least my armor doesn't.

It is a nice idea but I think you only get a whole glow when you get a full set of SoX from the same degree and specie (lol, meaning armor/prot/garm). Full set = Glow, only a shoulder piece and feet piece you wont glow...I think that would be nice^^

the glow would hurt my eyes from every char walking around.

also it would GREATLY increase lag for the servers to handle all the effects of all sox items in the game.

also walking through hotan would be dangerous to your eye sight.

it would be like looking head on into a spot light, just blinding light.

wouldnt be able to see anything but the light.

(entering hotan would be like dieing, "follow the light")

hmm... i wouldnt want to run around have my ass glowing like a lighthouse.

and if sos weapons dont glow, their price will drop 50%, trust me

I dont think that glowing armor is such a good idea. Just take this scenario into thought:

You are walking around Jangen in your 1mil thief suit and see a 3 lv 20 running around with a 5*'s. You decide to gank there stuff. Your entire guild comes and takes the goods. You are now hiding in a bush with loads of stars waiting to be shipped away. All of the sudden a lv 70 hunter comes and zerks your ass from across the map. How? Because he could see your lightbulb ass from a mile away.

How would you like THAT?

well if you're a thief you could probably hide your shiny ass with the thief suit.
