Hast thou not gone against sincerity
Hast thou not felt ashamed of thy words and deeds
Hast thou not lacked vigor
Hast thou exerted all possible efforts
Hast thou not become slothful

    Probably just the lighting.

    I see it a lot, on myself, on NPC's, in cutscenes. Sometimes it is a very faint glow, sometimes it is very present. Most of my characters have Inteligence as specialization and there is a buff that makes you and your teammates glow purple. First I thought it is some kind of afterglow effect, but seeing it on NPC's in cutscenes ... probably a side thing of lightning 2.0

    Your character probably had some contaminated Slusho Mix. I would contact the 25th century equivalent of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to get them to issue a mass recall.

    If your character turns into a neomorph when you log in tomorrow, then that means your character also ingested some Black Goo.

    I've noticed quite a bit, lately, that any lighting effect that creates a glow on the character might persist, indefinitely. It's most noticeable with transporter effects - my Fed toons beam down and glow blue, KDFs red, Roms green. But it can happen with any number of things. (Recently, I did "What Lies Beneath" with a new KDF toon, and the Devidian lighting effect had her glowing blue most of the time.)

    A workaround, I've found, is to change costumes - that seems to reset the lighting to normal.

    More important question... why bother putting a bar across the eyes?
    Sometimes I think I play STO just to have something to complain about on the forums.

    That kinda purple is usually only happening when parking next to a Vonph. :)

    More importantly, though, why, by the goddess, did you put a bar across yor toon's eyes?!

    think its a combination of not using lighting 2.0 but leaving spec and reflect off or using lighting 2.0 and having something else turned off - basically as far as I can work out the whole lighting dll is borked at some point in the game even with everything turned to full - you just have to keep switching settings about 1 at a time but a fix in one area will probaly highlight a broken point in another area

    You aren't supposed to stand so close to the antiproton reactor. Didn't your mother ever tell you that?

    Purple? How lucky. Sometimes I glow green. When it happens to my romulan (for some reason it's usually her), she seems Hulka.

    It could also be one visit too many to New Kentar. There's some strange agents in the air over there...
