I have no idea why the preview dont show the HD picture. Worked without any problem with the other screens. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Raybunny (talkcontribs).

Usually, this problem is resolved by clearing your cache (usually with Ctrl+F5). However, I just reverted the image back to how it was before, for reasons I mentioned in my comment. -- MS 13:44, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
But the weapon affects the character, like sparkles, black aura around it. That was the reason also why I changed the screen. The full screen shows those effects. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Raybunny (talkcontribs).
Then a compromise should be made between the two. A couple thousand pixels of trees is not something we should prefer over a screenshot of the actual weapon. -- MS 13:49, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
You're both terrible lol :p
@raybunny - we want a picture which is clearly of the sword and not of 80% surroundings
@MS - crop an image appropriately, don't cut off the tip of the blade :P
I've fixed this. I think this new image includes both the scale of the weapon and the red sparkles. --Chieftain Alex 14:10, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
I think one of Raybunny's major points was that they wanted to show the particle effect on the player themselves. The dark glow around the player's entire body is created by Twilight, and Raybunny thinks it should also be in the picture. I have no objection to that, but I do not believe an image that is more background than actual screenshot is the most preferable method of showing it. -- MS 14:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
I see Raybunny's point, but the [[:File:Twilight4.jpg]] still shows the glow yeah? I think we've got great pictures on that page now that, together, represent well the ingame effects. --Chieftain Alex 14:20, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Except the footprints effect. Usually I would dislike forgoing wiki policy/consensus on page design except for unique cases, but that's exactly what a Legendary Weapon is, so I suppose I have to be okay with it. -- MS 14:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. Indeed [[:File:Twilight4.jpg]] shows part of that character glow effect. s:Raybunny

Legendaries have additional effects, yes. But those should be added to a gallery in the page. The main image should focus on the weapon because it will be showing up as a thumbnail for various galleries (like Gallery of Greatswords). Having additional pictures in galleries will let you add explanations. Shimpchip 15:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
