terror enchant effect no showing

sloppyoctopus

sometimes on my trans terror, the blue effect wont show. for some reason i have to go to my mount (whirlwind) and get off mount for it to startup again. what happens is my sword is just pitch black with no blueish glow around it. is there some sort of work around for this? thanks.

This sounds like the visual degradation from running the client for a long time uninterrupted which make various graphic effects cease working. Loot sparkle, various lighting effects. I just restart the client when I notice things like this start to occur.

so just restart the game from scratch is what fixes it for you? i had been changing my appearance a lot with dyes while this was happening also

Yeah, restarting the client makes all the effects work again. I tend to notice it happening after I've made many requests to the server, if that makes sense, as in I've created a lot of feedback that cludges up the system, and restarting cleans up all the residue. If I make multiple character switches because I'm moving items around, or if I open a ton of boxes, I lose effects faster than if I'm just playing normally. It would also happen very quickly when running the Siege event, probably because the instances are so busy (and all NPCs using powers around me are even more processes).

Probably most simply called a memory leak.

thanks becky, i had been playing for about 12 hours with many dungeons, appearance changes and switching between toons. so sounds like what you are talking about.
