Display auras only when weapon drawn...

...or include them in the "effect filter".

At the last live letter, the topic about Darkside display came back and the answer was a bit...strange.

Can't display it properly when mounted ?
Is it that difficult to...not display it, when mounted ? Or to not display it when people just stand there with their weapon sheathed ?

Other part of the answer ? It would be difficult to filter only the Darkside aura...
Excuse me, but why doesn't the filter include them in the first place, when they include almost everything else ? You can't even see Sacred Soil with the filter on, yet it's much more important than seeing Darkside...

Well they said it's like an overall setting. The aura doesn't have a switch on and off button for each and every aura; Darkside, Defiance, Greased Lightning. They just have one big switch for that.

They said if we switch off teh Darkside Aura, we won't see our Greased Lightning and Defiance. They're looking into it to implement a switch for Darkside Aura only.

I suspect this is more of an engine limitation rather than codes or just little thing.

But we have filter effect for "self", "party members" and "others".
So keep "self" and "party member" effects on and you'll see Darkside, Greased Lightning of Defiance for you and the party.
...and you probably don't care about seeing any of those for "other" dozen people idling in town.

I would be just fine with putting GL, defiance, and I assume umbral ice/astral fire into the same filter heap.

Non-party members > ALL effects off, that would make me happy

Or... we can completely change Darkside into a timed and earned buff so that it only has that effect when your doing it right?
