The dev. team is currently looking into an option to hide the visual effects of Darkside.

thats the worst case scenario. you are just telling us that you dont go fix it and is better to be able to hide it...

This doesnt solve the problem.

In the words of someone in Idyllshire about 5 minutes ago..."DRK's you realize that afking in town with Darkside up makes you look like emo douchebags". If you turn this off for ALL players ok fine. But if the individual DRK has to turn it off then it doesn't solve the problem at all.

Thread is titled: "Darkside Aura .. hurts my eyes. Can't turn it off."
Devs respond that they are looking to have an option to turn off the effect of Darkside aura.
I say that's the thread.

Posting to agree with the general consensus - it's an ugly effect that is way too large, but that doesn't mean auras are inherently bad and should be hidden. A smaller, more focused aura would be awesome.

SERIOUSLY? We don't want you to hide it but to make it better looking! >:l And you guys answer to this but not all the whining about small fixes to Drk? C'mon. Even a "No Drk is fine, get gewd" answer is fine, any answer to the whining is fine.

Please change the aura SE. Give us a completed design instead of the half aura we have right now.

I realize the original post was about wanting to be able to hide the ugly aura and has since been edited to request changes to it. I'm all for the DRKS getting something they like, but we got a response saying they will look into us being able to not see the damn thing and I think that should be the first priority before people start asking them to work on a new one, perhaps in a separate and brand new topic after they enable folks to toggle off the visual. I don't really want to see anybody's aura, cool or not in town.

My thoughts exactly.

We just got an olive branch, demanding more and more isn't going to help anyone. Let's see if this basic requested feature is implemented first. Then we can worry about asking for further changes.

There already is another aura, and the ability to hide auras shouldn't take long at all to code.

They already do maintenance every six seconds, so I don't get why such simple things as these as pushed away while more difficult things like adding dungeons and balancing things is all they do (provided these vague "maintenance" things are even doing either). Not saying don't prioritize balancing and dungeons, I'm just saying they can do both, but they don't. On top of that, the aura is sort of dangerous as it is. How long before someone gets more than a headache from that abomination of an effect? They can turn off the other piles of effects you get in dungeons and raids to avoid having their eyes assaulted, but they can't get rid of darkside. That doesn't even make sense, design wise to exclude it. Sure, it tells you it's on, but there's already a far superior effect if you want confirmation it's on without looking at your own buffs/debuffs all the time.

theres other 2 separate topics asking for them to give us a good aura and fix this one... they never reply on them!
