With the Blade going into 3.2 with the new Vanduul aesthetic, can we expect to see visual updates to the Glaive and Scythe?
TL;DRThe Glaive and Scythe won't get visual updates in 3.2; it's something they want to do and are still investigating, but no dates are committed.
Visually, not in 3.2. It's something we've talked about. It's just something we haven't put on a schedule yet. Obviously, the Scythe and Glaive are from a time where the Vanduul visual aesthetic was quite different, and everything since then is a lot more different. It's something we want to do, but there's been no commitment to any dates for doing it.
It's also something that still needs to be investigated a bit. If you watch the Ship Shape on the Vanduul Blade, one of the things we talked about is how the Vanduul as a species take their technology from other places. So a Vanduul aesthetic can be quite all over the place. So it's well within the lore for, okay, when we build Scythes and Glaives, we've learned over the years to take from these sources, and when we build Blades, we've learned to take from these sources. So they can be quite visually different if the decision is made not to carry over.
Like I say, you could put the Vanduul family next to each other. The Scythe and Glaive look different, but they don't look like they've come from a different alien race.
