Andor's Trail

The GoW does not have the 'blue glow' that all the other extraordinary items have. It also does not say 'extraordinary item' in the item info section. Is it supposed to be this way or was it missed in the content editor?





----------EDIT---------

Just dug through res/raw, it isn't defined in the code as extraordinary, take a look

I noticed that too, but I think it's simply the GoW's sprite covering the whole glow... too lazy to fire gimp up now and check it.
Raw data for the game has the correct flags if I remember correctly (I checked it a while ago).
Edit : wrong info, and late too...

I checked the resource, I edited the op just before you responded I guess.

Lol, we have race condition issues !

I checked the changelog for the v0.7.1 alpha and unless I'm missing it, its not there. I also do not see it on the issue tracker.

Maybe it hasn't got the blue glow because it's not an extraordinary weapon/armor?

Speaking of items where the "glow" isn't very visible, check out the Blackwater Leather Armour that is supposed to be a Rare item. On some items like the Stone Cuirass the glow is just hard to see but as far as I can tell, the Blackwater armor doesn't even have a glow. You can tell because the Wolfpack's Animal Hide uses the same armor graphic but it does have the barely visible green glow of an Extraordinary item.

Fire, I don't know if you typed it wrong, or just didn't know but....

Legendary: green glow
Extraordinary: blue glow
Rare: purple glow
Quest Item: yellow glow

^^^ This is information straight from the content editor.

Ian, it is hard to say since the only non-useable / non-equipable items that do glow are quest items.... I asked Oskar a few months back if he would spill the beans regarding the GoW but as expected I was left in the dark. That is why I'm not sure if this is actually a bug or if it was intentional.

In my opinion, just looking at the colors of the glows, I see the following:
Legendary: (don't have any)
Extraordinary: Teal - closer to green than any other primary color but there is certainly a tiny bit of blue there
Rare: Dark Blue - there is a tiny bit of red present but it's definitely not purple
Quest Item: Yellow - seems to also be some green which browns the yellow a bit but it's still definitely yellow

I've been told I have excellent eyesight but it could also be the color palette on my phone. Either way, I'd suggest we attempt to clarify those colors a bit better either by renaming the colors to match closer to what they are or by changing the color slightly to match the names. Regardless, very low priority since they already accomplish their primary objective which is to differentiate between each other.

Legendaries do have the green glow. At least my RoLS has one !
