Ascended Borders Look Worse
The new Ascended character borders look far less ‘special’ compared to the old purple gradients. Honestly, the purple gradient was already good enough; clean, sharp, and fitting. Instead, they replaced it with this strange pink tone that looks completely awful. It completely ruins the visual appeal, and right now it looks terrible. Maybe if they had wanted to emphasize the Ascended status, they could have kept the same texture style as the purple gradient but used a fiery amber orange. That would have looked unique, powerful, and fitting for something meant to stand out. Instead, the current design looks cheap and out of place.
