Somewhat recently (in the last three months?) I've noticed that the visual effects of poison have gone from the deep drippy green of an acid essence to a barely noticeable dull green glow. I want to praise the effort here, because it looks like a new Arelith-only visual effect. But for me it's really underwhelming.
I'm struggling to understand what the problem was with the classic (and amazing) acid drip of poisons that we had a few months ago. What was the problem that the devs were looking to solve with the new and greatly diminished look of poisons? I remember seeing drow in the official neverwinter campaign that were wielding glowy green weapons dripping with poison. I remember the raw visceral reaction I had playing those campaigns as a teenager and seeing the menacing weapons.
I have no problem with the new visual effects, and they make sense somewhere. Maybe on the swords of some low level mobs in a dungeon, or as the visual effects of certain very cheap poisons. But man, I want my drippy poison sword back.
