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

Wow. This thread just proves the FFXIV community will shriek and moan about anything. I'm not a DRK, I main as a SCH, and I've barely noticed this. I've seen the buff and it's not even that bad, it's thin streams of red, and it's not a very big effect at all. I really don't understand people's complaints about this.

I agree with you but I've started to notice a trend in the OP's posts he will moan about anything he can, and boy do you look tasty

Except you haven't played the class for hours upon hours.

Shrieking and moaning, really? Doesn't matter if you play DRK or not - the buff for myself and obviously others is quite noticeable; if it was invisible there would be no comment on it (or at least not the same). If you like it the way it is then fine, share your opinion but there is no need to be rude just because it isn't your opinion or you feel "worth" the space of general discussion forum. If you don't understand why someone feels a certain way you should try not to start out the conversation with "big cry babies" - if you have no preference and or don't care.. was it really necessary to comment?

In town I've seen at least ten Dark Knight on the screen and to myself it looks bad. The effect one on one looks ok imo, I don't have a real preference for it but nor against it. In combat I can't even tell if the thing is on, one of the least flashy things going on then. Currently at best we've got a moan if you twist complaint into that, OP can prove otherwise I suppose -please don't though lol.

Another Darkside Aura thread: here.

Where as I have and I use Dark Side constantly as it's a huge DPS boost & that yummy little lala speaks the truth.

I really don't care about his opinion, because really. He doesn't play the class and he whined about my whine. He offered nothing really to the thread. He doesn't even play the class. When you have played for hours, you will notice how obnoxious this actually can get, the effect itself after hours of playing can cause eye strain and it honestly looks "horrible" when you use your abilities with it.

I am simply asking for the option to turn it off.

It's ugly and obnoxious yo.
Just let me turn it off along with glow effects on weapons. No skin off your tiny bones.

Nope in your own words

Its pretty much a permanent buff. Imagine if other tank stances had permanent effects attached to them. Can this effect just be removed altogether?

You asked if it could be removed altogether and in honesty who says you should have a say regarding this matter SE chose to put it in & shouldnt change it due to some delicate little flowers who scream it hurts my eyes Q.q i played DRK for 10 hours straight and more than half the time i couldnt tell if it was on unless i checked my status bar.

I'm pretty damned sure all you guys are just crying for the sake of something to cry about, I'm running the game on DX11 at Max with 60fps while streaming it and all i see if little tiny flashes of red everyso often seriously stop moaning.

I'm pretty damned sure you just wanted to brag about your computer.

It's an obnoxious spell effect that ignores my particle settings. It's the only persistent spell effect on another player that does this. We have the right to be annoyed with it.
