Get rid of or hide blue glow on characters

The blue glow that now engulfs my characters hides them and is an eyesore within the game. I know the corruption concept probably sounded really cool to some kids on the dev team but can we give the adults some air time and ideally get rid of the corruption concept altogether.

In the meantime, while the kids are at play, can we at least have an option to hide the corruption? I realize the answer is probably no as Blizzard generally doubles down on errors rather than correcting them. Don’t understand it but am used to it.

You don’t get the blue glow if you’re not stupidly corrupt. Don’t go past 39.

You get it from 0-19, it disappears from 20-39, and then it reappears.

But who cares what the number is anyway, just let us toggle it.

The toggle is don’t wear corruption or get more resistance
Not everything in the game needs a toggle

So it wasn’t just my character experiencing that. Interesting bug.

The no glow between 20-39 should be a reminder this is the corruption level you want to shoot for. Any time you glow you’re either wasting resistance or a mage who can blink out of everything.

If you dislike the blue glow, there are a few options already in the game to remove it. Either get your corruption to zero, get to the “Goldilocks Zone” of 20-39, or push to 80+ where it turns red.

The visual effect should stay in the game because it’s apparently the only deterrent to stacking ridiculous amounts of corruption. People might not care if every hit they take has a chance to just instantly kill them, but god forbid there is a visual effect that makes their xmog look bad.

Yeah, asking for a toggle to turn off your character being covered in purple goo = “everything in the game needs a toggle.”

Also, “don’t use this patch’s major feature” is a really stupid answer.

You’re asking for one toggle. 50 other ppl asked for 50 diff toggles. Maybe you’re not on this forum 24/7 but you’ll see all the toggle requests if you are.

Major feature never yells at you to go past 39. My toon isn’t glowing

I want that effect in different colors as a transmog for your toon. Gold, red, dark blue, forest green, purple, orange, violet, apple green, baby blue, pink, lots of colors!

I’d love that in gold on my Paladin, apple green on my Druid, red on my Warrior, purple on my Warlock, for example.

You can get it by having less corruption too. Basically, you’ve got to stay between 20-39 corruption, or 0 corruption unless you want to be covered in grapealicious flavor for the entire rest of the expansion.

We have people wearing yeti pajamas, but you don’t want to let them turn off a blue glow? Because they can just go under 39 corruption? What if going over 39 corruption is still a gain? Most tanks in mythic raiding have 59 as their cap.

Yeah but healers should have a visual so they know who to focus on in a pinch. If I were healing it would be nice to know I shouldn’t be wasting a lot of effort on a blue glowing character. So if I zoned in and the tank looked like a corrupted Smurf I could just say, “sorry folks, got to go someone’s knocking at the door.”

You mean every one doesn’t want to look like Void Elves all the time?

Yeah, I guess not.

I’m tired of ppl ruining my game. Remember the cool effect that we got when the Artifact Weps went super saiyan? A totally optional thing you never had to click on- gone because some ppl couldn’t handle it. They didNt even need to open it

In what way does an optional toggle ruin your game?

They asked for a toggle. It got removed.

Same with the Wrathion trinket effect

Same with everything ppl ask for toggles with

The “major feature” is why if it weren’t for leveling lowbie alts using the 100% XP buff I wouldn’t still be subbed right now. Glow or not.

This shirt cancels the visible corruption effect

Wrathion trinket still gives you wings. The thing that got removed was the wing proc giving people slow fall whether they wanted it or not. And it’s actually now an optional on-use effect.

So basically the exact opposite of being removed.
