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

Greetings,

Thanks for the feedback.

We have relayed your suggestions in regards to the visual effects for dark knight's action "Darkside" to the dev. team.

Thank you.

I'm mildly photosensitive and all my usual coping mechanisms are useless against the way this effect's animation has both moving elements and flickering. It's actually not so bad in battle but if someone with it on comes up while I'm trying to talk to an NPC I usually end up moving away until they leave.

They could just center the aura around the weapon. That would be kind of cool imo.

This. Why doesn't it just look like our weapon has blood energy dripping off it or something?

I always switch mine off when I'm not in the field im surprised people complaining about this when war gets a visual just like this.

Because from the info we know Dark Knights get their enemy's blood all over them while their fighting.

I can maintain that aura at best two minutes, and even then it's no where near as bad as Darkside. Darkside stays on until the DRK does something about it (usually log off)

So they have a Pig Pen-esque blood stink coming off of them?

Well that's just unsanitary.
Besides. It doesn't look like blood. It looks like a bunch of big opaque down feathers.

This thread cracks me up.

Personally I don't have a problem with the effect and leave it on almost all the time (Mostly because I just forget it's on and don't notice the effect), but I do actually agree that it needs to be toned down some. :P It's something like 4x the size of my character. I would much prefer it if it was a closer aura effect that radiated red off my character in a kind of heat-wave effect (Up from my character), rather than looking like the solar winds with myself as the star of origin. @_@

I personally don't have an issue with it, but I could see why others might be put off by it. Personally I'd rather have the glowy eyes, and instead of an aura perhaps an energy/shadow/flame trail that only shows in combat? Clear feedback it's on, unintrusive outside of combat, and glowy eyes. Sounds great to me.

VICTORY!!!
