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

Yeah I've also been getting more frequent headaches after seeing the aura for too long to the point where I'd rather keep the aura off till I have to turn it on

Yep I tend to get some headaches while playing with the aura on aswell, it gets worse when doing FATES with alot of Dark knights.

Been following this thread myself for awhile. Like others I'd rather the current darkside aura be removed completely. In terms of having either the black flames/aura from the level 50 quest, while it'd be cool to have it always on when darkside is up, even just during the duration of dark arts similar to blood of the dragon would be sufficient for me.

Yeah. Dark Arts buff can use some indicator if it's up or not

For fellow DRKs, let's make a campaign. No Darkside till aura changed, lol

Regardless, they could of just thrown in the lvl 50 DRK job aura instead of leaving the effect with half of what it used to be. It just needs a change, it's honestly unacceptable that we get an aura this much of an eyesore compared to other auras like warrior or dragoons.

Never said it shouldn't be changed, just trying to rationalize why it's probably not as simple as reverting it to the demo version. I wouldn't be too surprised if it was a bandage solution while they decide what to do.

Adding the 50 quest aura would definitely be the easiest method(though I can't comment on its quality, since I haven't seen it in motion), but them redoing the particles from scratch and adding them in another 3.0X(ideally not as late as 3.1) is also possible.

I say we have two optional auras. One being the lvl 50 npc aura, and the other being the original.

I'd love to have those flames.

If i went around with battle effects on for everyone, i'd imagine i would get headaches.

I'd rather modify the ongoing effect , and make it toggleable like every other battle effect.

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.

I know there was a animation on the DRK reveal that showed them running their hand across the blade for something I would have thought it be for dark side. We want the black flames SE you've already showed you have the stuff to do it so the issue you say that it would look weired is a terrible excuse. The living water is a good example that you can keep these animations while moving in effect. Also the flames on the crafted Ifrit weapons move around as you move I seen it so get to work.

[Dererk]

I believe that's how it's intended to look.
Consider what it's made out of.

that's my point they made that possible but their using the excuse that it look odd while we move with black flames around us.

With so many ppl complaining they gotta do something and change the aura.
