Please Revert the Shadowmourne Appearance Change Introduced in Cataclysm

[Zeyon-faerlina]

In Cataclysm, Shadowmourne had its appearance changed for the worse. The smokey/misty aura effect on the blade was changed to be a solid jello-like blob of particles, and the weapon no longer shows enchant effects, including runeforges, which is a pretty odd decision for a weapon designed with Frostmourne and Death Knights in mind. Every person I have talked to about this has hated the new look, myself included, so please consider reverting the change. At this point, I would be transmogging the weapon to something else if it allowed me, which is a real shame, seeing how the original was easily my favorite two-handed model in the game.

Curious to hear your opinions on this.

Before and after comparison for reference (bear in mind the Wotlk model showed enchants and runeforges):

While that does suck and I can easily see the difference in the two I still find it interesting that they would even do something like that…

I dont think it’s intentional, looks like a missing shader.

i like the new one, looks brighter!

On retail Shadowmourne looks like the WotLK version so either it is bugged or it eventually goes back.

Edit: it’s actually the look it had during blizzcon and also during the icc ptr.
