Small Magus Disc Visual Bug?

I have not seen any posts about this so I figured I'd make one in case this small visual bug has been overlooked but the discs that magus' ride are suppose to glow blue. I've noticed that their mounts are working perfectly (they have both the blue glow as well as the mount exclusive golden particle effect) however the standard discs do not.

Heres a pic from retail:

I can understand if this visual effect has been temporarily disabled in order to increase server performance or something. However I strongly suggest that this effect be given to player discs (not NPCs) since magus-es (magi?) in general are quite rare from what I've seen of the destruction player base.

Furthermore, I understand that the devs have a lot on their plate and I have no idea how much time would go into fixing/enabling this visual effect...so forgive me if I am asking too much here at this point and time in this stage of development. That being said though, this visual effect is as iconic to the magus class as the disc itself and I would love to see it implemented when/if it is not too inconvenient to do so.

No idea how to implement it.

I've been holding off on saying this lately, but please - remember that this is an alpha, and don't make threads about cosmetic features. There are much bigger problems in the game than whether a disc glows or not.

Oh with out a doubt! I want t4 way more than I want this silly visual effect, I was just curious as to why it as missing...or maybe if I was the only one with the issue. Thanks for the quick reply too btw! :P

There's a packet implicated in handling these effects (F_ACTIVE_EFFECTS), but I do not know anything about its structure.
