Just a note (weapon auras)


Shadow State

Well, if it makes you feel any better, new weapons are often being given default auras, like the Tech-looking weapons (broadsword, mace, etc.).

Also, this might be something for the (un-official, I think) weapon request thread.

Stuck it there too. Didn't see it before posting this.

I would be happy if they could just add a weapon location for the current lvl 30 auras. I am sure it is easier said than done, with the varied size and shapes of the weapons in the game. It came up in my global chat today, and I wanted to share the desire for it here.

As I also sai there, this was a great bit of tech, and I would love to see it used more. Adding new weapons, and ways to customize those weapons seems like a great idea.

Last word we had on it, if I recall correctly, was that you can't attach a costume piece to a costume piece, i.e. you can't make a selectable aura for a weapon. It is however possible to create a weapon with a built in aura like effect (see tech sword, elemental shields, etc.), but that means that a copy of each weapon would need to be made for each of the aura effects, so no small undertaking. Then you'd have to get into whether or not aura effects would break the "only weapons appropriate to the set's damage type" rule. Mind you I would love to see it happen but I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.
