Dark Knight Black Flame-like Aura?

[NocX7]

Just realized the black flames weren't in the E3 Gameplay with Dark Knight either.

I seriously hope they didn't scrap the flame effect for whatever reason.

What you say is true but,as I said in an earlier post,the only time the DRK has been seen with the black flames is when wearing the AF2 armor AND using Darkside which only happens in the job skills trailer video. Notice how on every other display of the DRK in AF2 armor without the flames he isn't using Darkside.This includes the benchmark,the first gameplay footage and the original reveal video way back last year.

This makes me believe in the possibility that the black flames may be an effect added by the AF2 armor when using Darkside.Go ahead and look at all the footage since the original reveal and you'll see the pattern.This may be all a big coincidence but IMO I don't think it is at this point.

I've noticed that too, and thought the exact same thing.

I'd just much rather see it as an effect of the skill itself, and not attached only to a certain armor. Otherwise everyone and their mother will be wearing that set, and be forced to to use the set if they want the black flames. And lets be honest, as cool as the armor looks, the appeal will eventually wear off as newer things come out.

Though I agree with you,first lets hope that it is an effect added from the armor at least then maybe with big enough feedback,we can get them to change it to be displayed regardless of what we're wearing later on.

Can someone from SE please confirm if this bug is being worked on or if it is part of the Dark Knight AF2 armor set?

Some clarification on this would really be nice.

It was one of the coolest visual features Drk had, and to have it inexplicably missing is just disappointing.

we need a clarification abou this indeed! cmon SE isnt that hard! just tell us if the effect will be added on AF2 or you take it out for some reason.

I want my DARK FLAME - I don't care about the Red aura, the DARK flames makes the class really DARK!

having it ONLY for AF2 is stupid. why would anyone glam anything other than AF2 if that was the case?

SE needs to a) let us know they are working on fixing the bug(s) and b) actually fix the bug(s)

Agreed, thats like an entire visual aspect of the class gone if you're not wearing that set.

Does anyone know if this is being brought up on the JP side of the forum at all? I feel like it'd get better attention over there.

Back during early access I believe I saw a few comments about it missing on the JP forums but as always,the JP forums users don't seem to be as active as we are on pushing for bugs to be fixed.
