I agree. If it happens, it'll probably be in 3.1.

I suspect it got delayed as a bug fix because they're changing the red aura as well, due to feedback about it being intrusive.
A visual change that's not just adding back the flames (which was probably missing due to a bug) would obviously take longer than simply fixing a bug.
And the latter wouldn't happen if they wanted to make adjustments to the whole thing anyway.

Anyone else have Darkside off anytime they dont really need it? I can't stand the shitty red aura everywhere i go.

That's the funny thing about the aura.Since it's missing the black flames,you only really notice it outside of combat but as soon as you get in a fight,the faint red lines get blocked by all the other effects of the other classes and you can't tell if it's active or not.

If they give us the black flames back we would be able to easily notice if it's active even during the most chaotic of fights.

i use it all the time! but, once more, NocX7 is right. it easy on a very visual effect fight see if the darkside aura is on or not.

We've been getting a lot of questions regarding the black flame aspect of the Darkside effect that was shown off in the job actions video and how it changed for release. The first thing to note is that the video showcased graphics and animations that were still under development. While the black flame animation looked great while standing still, it began to look very unnatural in many other instances, such as moving or while mounted, and so on. As such the dev. team decided to remove this aspect of the effect.

No black flame guys or.. or the one from the DRK quest. GG

our dream destroyed :(

We might have to start a petition so they change the aura to one of the many great looking darkness auras in the game.There is no excuse since they wouldn't even have to design a new aura to solve this.

so why does Egi-Ifrit's fire trail not cause problems?
