Armors and weapons being non static

Hey Guys~! Hope everyone's having a good day/evening/night I was wondering everybody's opinion on armors and weapons being static.
I know this will be a pretty big point of contention, seeing how some people may like more simple things and other people may like more high fantasy stuff. Either way I'd like to know if you'd love to see some moving armor and weapons.
I haven't played a single mmorpg yet so I wouldn't know how hard this is, but I do watch Asmongold and I saw in a transmog competition in WoW This shield.
I thought it was amazing because spikes just jut out from the shield every once in a while. I know this could get crazy and out of control but I feel like rare animated weapons and armor could be really cool.
Another example could be, you kill a huge octopus or squirt boss or something with tentacles~! you get a helmet that has tentacles on it that move around. That could add so much for me, I feel it would look amazing! I just have no idea the effects on performance and stuff it would have. Anyway please share your thoughts
Thank you!

Souleater always wriggles around and gets a ghostlike sheen.
Arcana Shard Spire has breaking and rearranging crystals.
Elemental Crescent switches between an inferno and glacial ice.
Sunblade grows a illusory blade.
Equus becomes a mechanical moving horse head.
Claws of creation gets ghostlike extensions i think.
Crystal Shot Longrifle has three moving barrels, and the projectile grows between the three barrels.
Shifting Fellblade elongates, when drawn.
Flamegrinder drops molten metal.
Living Longbow grows flowers and the vines writhe and grow.
Those are the ones i know ^^
Also with all the times steven has mentioned adding animations to cosmetics, I expect in game stuff to be up to par. like for example when the grimsail came out he mentioned it would have an animation where it would eat the defeated ship if certain conditions were met. So I expect items in game to have animations as well. if there is no animated items in game I will be disappointed.
I like when equipment is glowing for a reason. Reasons may be gems/runes inserted in it, or something like gear crafted from ghost cloth would shine in sage colour. +it's faster to develop stuff like that comparing to moving parts...

Yeah that would be quite amazing!~ It would add so much c: I think at least
Oh yea I don't really like how everything looks in apoc, it's all glowy like star wars or something. HOPEFULLY they really change that before the mmo comes out. It looks silly to be honest x3
No I like glowing stuff tooooo~ but I don't like just a bland glow effect like a light saber cx I also don't like when EVERYTHING glows....~
Imagine.... you finally get a super rare SUPER DUPER rare sword or whatever from a fire boss... you finally equip it and it glows ornagey red from cracks in the sword that lava seeps out from~!
Mhm~! It would be awesome if you were like... a frost mage of sorts and the enchants and glows of your weapons turned frosty and cold.. blue and icey~! That would be delightful c:
Well I haven't really ever played WoW~ I just watched asmongold and his transmog competitions because I love customizing gear~! Those sound pretty neat though~! Having wings~!
Mhm me too~! I mean they're using unreal engine 4 ..... they can make the game look absolutely beautiful and do amazing things... not that it isn't possible in other engines but it'll look amazing here.
I really hope they have animated armor~! It'll bring so much, maybe some over the top stuff, some subtle stuff to please both of the crowds~!
That.... would... be....amazing... wait doesn't that already happen in apoc..~? IMAGINE IF THEY IMPROVE IT~! ouo
Mmmmmhmmmmm~! A friend recently got me to try Nexon's Invictus, ashes will be my first mmo but I've seen bdo and I LOVE action combat. I feel like it adds an extra layer of mechanical skill.
I really hope they get the action combat right c: It adds so much for me, before Ashes I hadn't even CONSIDERED playing an mmorpg. I'm sure they'll get the combat right though~
Those.... are.... all... AMAZINGGGGG~!!!!!
But I just can't wait~!
It can always be better ^^
YUS!!!!
Yeah of course~! It's just a rough animation in apoc hopefully~! It'll be amazing if they make it better, which I'm sure they will c:
+1000000000000000 this so much, grimoires with animated pages, floating and everything else, add a nice glow to the runes inside when casting spells perhaps. Other than that maybe a crystal on a staff that glows too <:
Future Crafting Plans: Herbalism > Alchemy & Scribe or Mining > Metalworking > Jewel cutting (Pending)
I'm SUPER positive that the Grimoires will look amazing. Look at them in apoc along, they were animated right? I believe they were with the pages turning. I could be wrong though its been.... a while since it's been up ;w; rip
One where the tentacles reach out and grab the face of the person you are fighting.
Hahahaha that could be an amazing fighting tactic~!!! cx
2. >Asmongold ..I don't see how people can like that guy, he's a bit of an ass
3. On-topic, I'm not really a huge fan of having too many high-fantasy weapons, I do think they should be in the game, but I don't want to see these kind of weapons being easily obtainable as that would result in everyone running around with low level weapons and gear that look like legendary weapons and gear. IMO most basic and good gear/weapons should be more "realistic" (as if a magic staff is realistic, but you get what I mean) and only the rare ones having high-fantasy designs.
