Darkside Aura .. hurts my eyes. Can't turn it off.

I was so certain that this effect was glitched and was going to get patched that I wasn't going to respond to this thread. Now, several hotfixes later, with no response and a "working as intended" I gotta chime in. This is without a doubt the most annoying animation in the game for me to date. Holy spam? Taken care of with filters. MNK/WAR auras? Nowhere near as invasive or persistent. Darkside aura just looks broken and terrible to me, and I really hate that I have no way of getting rid of it.

In combat, it's fine. No big deal at all. In town? With a half dozen other glowing DRK nearby? Ugh.

The worst is when I go to take a screenshot of a non CS npc saying something funny or I want a group shot with npc celebs out and about, only to have the entire scene distorted by the wavy red aura of idiocy emanating from a dark knight that isn't even on my screen. Working as intended? You gotta be kiddin' me.

Eh, I don't really mind it. Considering some games I've played before this, it's not as obnoxious as it could be thankfully.

I can see why people get annoyed that it doesn't go away when the settings say it should. I can also see why some would think it's an eyesore and I'd wager some of the DRK players themselves are sick of seeing it too.

And still no word about this... though I can understand there are bigger issues like getting jobs balenced before raids are released. I don't think it's difficult to remove a skill effect from the game. Pretty sure it's just going in and deleting a file but I wouldn't know.

I literally have not even noticed it... It's not that bad, Idk why you guys are complaining so much

Personally it doesn't annoy me as such, I simply can't see the need for it being there in all the time anyway. In battle perhaps, of when in a certain mode it might make sense. However to have it there all the time seems rather unnecessary.

This. I don't think anyone walking by the 1000th DRK with red glowing around them thinks "dang they look edgy and badass, what a cool character!" It's just annoying and un-necessary. Switch it off :P
