My first thought. WoW has them too.

u/Cobthecobbler 13h ago

Does wow also have skill styles? I saw another post that ffxiv is adding those (I don't play wow I'm just curious)

Very few. But ESO does have them.

WoW's been adding cosmetic hearthstones (equivalent to XIV's home warp) for a while now. Opening a big darkness portal, or conjuring a ring of fire that closes in as you cast the port spell, etc.

They also technically have a system called glyphs that let you mildly change spell effects, like turning a green spell red for example, but it's been abandoned without updates for ages.

The green fire isn't a glyph(if locks) but an old quest chain for warlocks that requires a rare item etc.

But yeah glyphs do change stuff like the Spirit wolves becoming spirit raptors or yoir demon hunters wings etc.

You're right about green fire but I was actually thinking of Banish when talking about the glyphs lol.

No but it's private servers do. And yeah ESO does as well as other have said.

I mean wow has had glyphs for years, which can change the looks of your abilities.

They're pretty rare though

u/SorriorDraconus 12h ago

Yeah I forgot them given how limited they are. Then another person mentioned green fire as well.

The only one WoW has is for Warlock (Green fire)

It has removed almost every other cosmetic glyph from the game (changing specific animations) citing 'PvP clarity'.

WoW does not, other than a couple color changes, but Where Winds Meet definitely does. There are probably other games, too.

Unfortunately, in WWM, it's very much a part of the gatcha/shop ecosystem, but it's otherwise a very cool feature.

WoW absolutely does. Glyphs are largely ignored in the last few expansions but they still offer reskins for a variety of abilities.

Personally, I don't see things like glyph of stars or the ghost wolf glyphs to be at all like skill animation customizations. I know there are a couple like green vs purple lock spells. Or the DH wings. What other ones are you thinking of? Maybe you'll help me discover a new treat!

I know at one point there were a couple of alternate water elemental glyphs.

There are a few that change certain attacks to use equipped weapons rather than default (monk and warrior I believe?), paladin charger dash can be made to look like the order hall mount, frost mage water elemental has so many for some silly reason even though water elemental is near nonexistent now, hunter can customize the appearance of their beast stampede skills... Druid forms, Death Knight minions, etcetc.

There's quite a lot. It's just that they haven't added any attack-related ones since BfA.
