| Question Title: | Hollow weapons and particle effects fitting weapon size. |
| Category: | Graphics |
| Question: | Will the particle effects for the hollow staff and sword ever be altered to where it appears across the entire blade/weapon? For the smaller weapons and weapons where the effective portion is a small part (axe, katar, dagger, spear, etc) of the whole weapon, it works. But on the staff and sword it just looks a bit, odd, just glowing at the very tip. Is this going to be improved upon later? I think the sword-people would like to have something looking similar to a lightsabre. :) |

| Answer: | robably not. The effect does eat CPU time, and the more of those helixes we place, the slower everything runs. Sean. |
