Pyra Syandana: Too bright (pic heavy)

[-Jes-]

Reviving this ancient but still not fixed topic;

In update 18.12.0, whatever effect was used for the energy-based fire effect on the PYRA SYANDANA was changed, without any notice whatsoever.
Before this update, the syandana would match, if using the same energy color, with Ember Prime's mohawk, as well as with Silva & Aegis.

After this update, however, regardless of what energy color used or Bloom intensity set, the brightness of the syandana's effect always tops out at pure white - and one that causes screen glare at that.

Here are pictures from BEFORE the update:

And here are pictures from AFTER the update:

 

As you can see, this change essentially necessitates disabling Bloom and Glare altogether, or have a constantly blinding effect on your back should you choose to wear this syandana.

Never played long with bloom and glare, but those white/almost white parts of energy bother me on the pyra syandana as well as on other items.

I thought it was supposed to look that way? Then again, I don't wear it cause it just doesn't look good

It didn't back before 18.12 at any rate. As you can see in the last picture, when using the same dark blue color (farthest left 7th row in classic saturated), both Ember Prime's mohawk and Silva & Aegis match. The Pyra Syandana used to do so also.

And the worst part about it, is that when you disable Bloom, you still get the pure white splotches as seen in the second last pic.

Yeah agree with this, it's OTT.

Yes, and unfortunately, it's not the first time this topic's been brought up.

First topic on the issue had some pictures, but looks like it died after a board move.

And the second topic seems to have been derailed by console talk.

It has now been TWO YEARS, and still not a single word on this from DE.

I mentioned this in the update threads for about a dozen or two updates, and nothing. Considering this is a piece of accessory you can very much have spent REAL MONEY on, the absolute silence is a bloody disgrace.

And the icing on the cake? The Pyra Prime syandana, which you would expect to use the exact same material or effect given it has the same 'fire' protrusions? Looks fine.

 

 

Oh, and what do I get for saying "FIX the Pyra Syandana. It's been TWO YEARS." on region chat?

Suspended. Thanks for nothing DE. Have a downvote on Steam.
