I tried getting an answer to this over at Bungie, but their forums are like watching a sewage drain back up and overflow. While people dance in it.

Legendary bonds sold by the Speaker:

I bought Ulan-Tan's Burial Ring way back, and have noticed something annoying. In the Speaker's inventory preview pic, the energy color emanating from it is bright yellow/gold. And that's usually what it shows as when I have it equipped. But now and then, it will instead project an ugly, muddy sort of blood-red/orange color.

This 'glitch' isn't specific to the item I bought. When it's displaying on my character correctly, I can go to the Speaker, and all of his bonds for sale will also display correctly in the preview window. By that I mean, the projected energy color in the character preview will match the color in the little inventory window. But if my bond is glitched and displaying the ugly red/orange color, and I go to the Speaker and view his items, none of the energy colors for the bonds in the character preview will match what they show in his little inventory pics. For instance, the Five Rings of Albios shows a brilliant silver/white color in the inventory pic, but shows up as ugly green in the character preview.

This 'glitch' comes and goes. Yesterday, the Seal of the Twin Eagle was correctly displaying its pink aura in the character preview, which matches the inventory pic. But today, it's showing as a weird orange color, conflicting with the pink in the inventory pic.

I know this is a lot of info many will find pointless, but it's irritating the hell out of me (customization / cosmetics are a big deal to me). I bought the Five Rings today anyway, hoping it will 'sort itself out' (like my Ulan-Tan does) and display silver energy correctly. It does now, but only about half the time. I thought maybe the off-color was tied to something in-game, like completing bounties or something. But I haven't noticed any trigger or pattern between working correctly, and glitching.

Has anybody noticed this?
