We've been getting a lot of questions regarding the black flame aspect of the Darkside effect that was shown off in the job actions video and how it changed for release. The first thing to note is that the video showcased graphics and animations that were still under development. While the black flame animation looked great while standing still, it began to look very unnatural in many other instances, such as moving or while mounted, and so on. As such the dev. team decided to remove this aspect of the effect.

But it looks especially awful now.
Could you at least reduce the size or something?

Make it like the lvl 50 quest. That affect is like one of the coolest in the game and looks wayyyyyyy better than the current one.

This is all well and good, but their choice of alternative graphics is ugly, annoying and hurts many people's eyes (and brains). I think I can speak for most Dark Knight's when I say that we would rather have no graphic at all than what we have now.

So... what if instead of black flames on the ground, we had black flames swirling around us? Anything has got to be better than the red confetti.

You could have disabled the graphic while outside of combat. Looking at other posts and myself included, I try and turn this off when not in combat anyways. The warriors and wrath stacks and that aura is very well done. This one is just lazy.

I was excited for a response, now I'm sad.

My take on it: The darkside animation right now is annoying, To me, it actually has nothing to do with anything being related to a "darkness" part of oneself. What I'd personally like to see is something from the slayers from DFO(pretty much our right or left arms are covered in shadow/flame, kind of how Fray has round his feet when we're learning from him". Thus, it's only in one spot and can be made to look amazing, The animation right now is annoying, huts peoples eyes, and all around(once again) a HUGE eyesore to everyone. Even the animation for activating it is lackluster...I'd like to cut my hand open and run it across the blade and activate it like that. These are just some ideas I've personally had. I know others might not like them, but, people should voice their opinions. Thank you SE for taking the time to read this.
