Empy/Relic/Mythic "Afterglow"

**Darkvision** · 2012-01-03 18:19

well there is a wonter wtf it means, some people think it makes the weapon glow, some think its a special buff, well its kinda a glow, i cannot tell you if there is a special buff at all. imo i dont think there will be a special buff since its all all 3 types, empy relic and mythic

The afterglow does not intensify with the more weapons you have on also they dont stack. The afterglow effect is as follows:
Mythic > Relic > Empyrean
Mythic will override Relic and empy afterglow (only blueish afterglow with Aegis and Burgang)
Relic will only override empy afterclow (only goldish glow with Almace and Aegis)
Empy afterglow does not override mythic or relic (red only if empy weapon is on)

to check the stacking of the afterglow i used Aegis Ochain Burtgang Excal Almace, SSs below shows what the difference between the types, also the SSs where taken in game, i just swapped the DATs about

you can replace the DAT files if you want all M.Humes to glow that is wearing a emoy/relic/mythic. i have sorted it all out for you in to the relevant folders
M.Hume Dats (for non afterglow empy/relic/mythic)

They have to be sure that the glow to the left is equal to the glow on the right. Balance takes time.

Totally worth the effort that it takes to get the weapon to 99.

i cannot tell you if there is some hidden buff or not, sorry i forgot to mention that.

ANYHOO

i updated the origional post, link included to download DATs for dat swaping

a little flaw with the afterglow, i have swapped DAT's for all empy/mythic/relics so that non afterglow ones get the glow effect.

now when person A with, lets say kannagi,is loaded then they get the glow, BUT when person B is loaded wearing kannagi, person A looses the glow and person B gets the glow.

looks like only 1 person wearing a weapon can have the afterglow of the same type.

it might sound a bit confusing but when you see it you can understand

Basically, PS2 limitations prevent the game from having more than one of the same glow effect being onscreen at a time?

Am now curious if that also applied to the GM glow effect since that's been in the game for years.

This is going to be a priceless thread.

**Nightmarelord** · 2012-01-03 22:36

Well played SE. And now.. FFXIV will no longer be free! Se just keeps bitch slapping people who still play their games. if you cant have more then 1 glow effect on your screen what the fuck is the point?

**scaevola** · 2012-01-03 23:39

this is

man i don't even

**Cleverness** · 2012-01-03 23:44

So someone spends forever getting their weapon to 99, and then someone else running by removes their hard-earned glow if they happen to have it to.

Sounds about right from SE.

**Septimus** · 2012-01-04 00:02

So the glow applies to the player, no the weapon. How odd.

Does the same thing happen when there is more than one person with a glowing weapon? I don't see why more than one wouldn't be able to be on the screen at once, it looks like the WAR or PLD job emote effect. Someone light up the Mooshy signal.

**Darkvision** · 2012-01-04 00:20

you can have multiple glow effects on the same screen, its just that it appears to be that you can only have 1 glow effect per weapon/type like only 1 glow effect per kannagi and last player loaded is the one with the glow, however you can have a glow effect for a kannagi and kinkoku at the same time, its just wierd how it sounds but will get a SS of what i mean tomorrow

**Nightmarelord** · 2012-01-04 00:37

So if player X has amano 99 and player Y has amano 99. if player Y loads onto the screen second they get the glow and the other person gets the "fuck you" pretty much? Totally worth it...

**Aurara** · 2012-01-04 01:38

Wow, way to fucking go SE, lol

**InsaniacTHF** · 2012-01-04 02:32

So now mythics truly are the most powerful weapons in the game since their glow > all. I can see why the trial was originally 500 PWs. It probably should have been 5000 for balance.

Since they're still under developement, we can't say it will work that way when they're officially implemented.

I would not be surprised if this is why they weren't implemented- they didn't have the time to figure out why the glows weren't working properly. That would be potentially a very hard bug to track down.

**Xeynaar** · 2012-01-04 03:59

That wouldn't surprise me. Maybe they're still playing Mah Jong or something and haven't had time to fix yet.
