As always, apologies if this is all over the place. I don't get a lot of time for things like this. But hey, more voices, right?
Right now, every piece of gear you equip has some kind of visual. Artifacts are just kind of... there. Not doing much aside from a minor stat boost and a light level.
I'd like to see artifacts that -do- something visually. I don't mean like equipping that dude's head and having it dangle on your belt or something. More like the lightning armor effects from Reach. You equip a thing, and your guy is sparking with energy, or maybe flames dancing around the head and shoulders. Maybe void mist seeping off him or a light aura.
Or maybe a red glow in pvp when yer on a killing spree, I dunno. Little visual things like that to give them some ooo and ahh and a nice incentive to hunt them down and infuse faves. Also a good excuse to make exotic versions too. Extra spawn animation effects, death effects.
Just babbling here.

Sure, it'd be a great idea. Everything else has a visual effect, why not the artifacts?
