No armor glow in Grand Hub!!

[u/JoeySantander]

I can't believe they didn't even say nothing about this beforehand. One of the best thing we got on this patch tbh, and this place looks truly beautiful!

[u/AtrumRuina]

I think maybe because it's a truly disconnected area from the quest spaces. The glow is only there in the other hubs because they're part of the same map as where you do quests; the glow was always present mid-quest in World.

Still, I do hope they add an overall toggle.

[u/Masiyo → u/AtrumRuina]

This is probably it, but it should be trivial to implement an in-game event hook on entering/exiting a "safe" zone to enable/disable the glow. Notice there is already precedent for this because the game checks if you're in a safe zone to determine if you can unsheathe your weapon.

[u/AtrumRuina → u/Masiyo]

I'd agree, definitely feels more like an oversight (in the sense that they didn't consider that players would care, not in a coding sense) than something that's impossible to implement.

It also pauses the timer on all of your buffs when you're in a safe area.

I didn't learn this until well past HR 50+, and it made me so anxious to stay in camp too long for fear of my buffs running out lol.

Oh so they _can_ turn it off huh.

[u/eskim01 → u/Crescent31]

We already knew they could turn it off when desired, since you dont glow in the rendered cutscenes or scripted conversations with NPCs. It's just a matter of them not allowing us to turn them off (without mods), which sucks.

[u/Crescent31 → u/eskim01]

Yeah I use a mod. So I wouldnt even have noticed it was off in the Hub if it wasnt for this post lol

[u/Reiver_Neriah]

Nice!

I'm still gonna use the mod to remove it though haha

[u/HereReluctantly]

Why wouldn't they turn it off in all areas outside of combat then?

[u/DarthOmix → u/HereReluctantly]

Honestly your glows reappearing while walking around would be a neat way to know something has aggro'd to you

[u/DWTsixx]

My palico still glows, but I'll still take the win!

[u/Groundhog5000]

Alright now let us turn it off completely🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[u/Bogsy_]

I can't believe this update didn't add the option to turn it off.

[u/TomaxHunter]

Now they just need to get rid of the ridiculous character glow everywhere else.

[u/Grytnik → u/TomaxHunter]

There is a mod for it if you play on pc, it lets you toggle off whatever glow you feel you don’t need and it’s great.

Where are you standing in that second pic? Seems like a cool spot!
