Dark Knight Black Flame-like Aura?

[NocX7]

Can we please get an answer on this? I don't see many bugs reported being talked about this much on the forums right now.It would be great to have confirmation that this is being worked on,regardless of when the fix will go live.

I feel like the more desperate you grow for an answer the less likely you'll get one. I don't know, but they almost never answer threads that start demanding a simple response. They just answer what they're comfortable with when they want to.

Well, if you've got enough support on a Live Letter Q&A, then you'll get a response for sure.
Continuing this thread will probably give the issue presence. But begging for a Dev response (even if it should be a simple one) won't get us anywhere.

I really hope they add back the flames myself.

I hope it get's added the aura by itself is just horrible.

i have been tweeting this "@FF_XIV_EN @mattalos will we, Dark Knights, get the Black Flame-like Aura we saw on the Heavensward skill trailer?" once a day.

Agreed,the aura just looks very incomplete.Other auras like the Dragoon's Blood of the Dragon or the Warrior's aura look great but Darkside's aura looks like they didn't have time to finish it before launch.

Nocx7 props for taking this issue to heart and not letting it go away. I have a suspicion that the dark flames may have been a grit aura and the red squigglies the darkside aura. And maybe they took dark flames out since it was too much stuff floating on the chars. I agree dark flames > red squigglies for darkside would be cooler.

Well I'm not going to let this thread die.They'll eventually notice it and hopefully say something.One of my main reasons I ain't letting this go,is the 2 accepted bug reports on this.And for those saying they just might be forgotten,I'll say this,there was a bug report not too far removed from when the 2 reports on the black flames were accepted that was about the aura not vanishing with the game graphic settings.

That report got swiftly moved to the "working as intended" section of the bug forums while the missing black flames reports still remained on the "accepted bugs" section of the bug forums.Confirming that the flames are missing is something anyone can do quick since it's pretty obvious,so that's why I still think this is a bug that will get fixed.

On the level 50 drk quest the Npc version of yourself that you battle has what should have been the dark side aura. It's one of the coolest effects in the game and it's extremely disappointing that they went with the red line nonsense instead of the black fire effect on story mission.

Dude on the left is how the aura should look IMO. Actually looks like darkness and no bs about it being annoying and getting in people's way as it stays tight to the PC model.
