    Default Nightsaber vanity weapon

    Can you please improve look of vanity blade? The energy flow animation looks nice, but is barely visible. It would be easier to notice if you make it either thicker or brighter.

    Energy flow would look best wrapped around blade model just like here:

    After internal discussion, we've decided not to do this. In most cases where we have changed vanities for subjective reasons after release, we received backlash from players that liked the old look.

    What vanity change caused y’all to get the most backlash?

    Rhinestone aura was made to be larger, but it lost its symmetry afterwards. The gaps between the wings no longer formed a pair and looked more like 6 individual blades rather than the original 3 wing pairs. This was terrible as the rewards were already won/purchased and no more were released.

    I think in this case it would boost sales and more people would be buying these collectables up. As it is, they're barely visible and translucent. Have to zoom in to even notice the energy flow on them. Haven't heard from a single person who likes the current look and if they look more like the suggested photo it would be a mega hit. To be fair, I bought the unnamable claws for the plat tier reward during the 2023 valentines day event because they were subtle, short, and had nice wrapping on the hands. People complained and they were changed to be larger after the event started, but now sit weirdly on the toons and not many sport them todate myself included. That item was never reverted and now just exists in inventory for most. I think I speak for the majority that these Nightsabers really could use a visual enhancement. (Colored lightening like the Thundersnow dags or Nefarious Hooks comes to mind)

    Recently i've found this cool animation of marvelous energy aegis vanity. Now compare it with animation of rusk weapon/ vanity. Unrelated vanities, but what a downgrade in prettiness. I can imagine this animation in reddish color on current rusk weapon, it would look fantastic. Because i know your opinion STS, perhaps you can use this kind of animation in future vanity weapons. I would welcome having this weapon as 2H vanity weapon for warrior instead of aegis.
