Dark Knight Black Flame-like Aura?

[Marveth]

There was an admin saying they are looking into a way of removing the aura.
We will likely see that first and maybe later down the road see a new aura if people still voice their opinions.

Personally I was sold on heavensward when we got the first look at the dark knight with all the power it seemed to wield. A lot of that feeling came from the amazing aura the trailer had. Don't get me wrong, I love my dark knight but I was really looking forward to looking like that.

I can't help but feeling a bit cheated on.

JPGames.de: The Dark Knight ability „Darkside“ features red light floating around the character which is irritating to some players. Are there plans for allowing players to manually adjust the effect?

NY: It was fixed two emergency maintenances before, it should be fixed. (Naoki Yoshida goes to a TV screen where the effect is displayed and points at it.) When it was first implemented, the aura was really strong and people could not see through it. Now that we reduced it, the overall feedback settled down and players are fine with the color. Probably your friends

From a recent interview. He is wrong...

I don't think player base is going to be happy with the way it is now, they want it like it was shown off in the demo videos etc.

Per the Live Letter:

Regarding the dark knight "Darkside" effect from the job video

Originally there was a dark flame-like effect added to the feet of the dark knight while under "Darkside," and while this was a cool effect, unfortunately while testing in various situations, such as while mounted, it looked unnatural and we adjusted it to what it is currently. However, when we add in new actions we may add this effect back in.

Hell I would settle for the glowing dark red eyes that was in the benchmark trailer.

However, when we add in new actions we may add this effect back in.

Ooh, that's a long wait. I guess that's that, then. Unfortunate.

Shocking news according to jp forums: the only reason isn't changed is because Yoshie P actually likes it. It's just...wrong. Players should be listened.

Was it the JP side that said that was wrong as well? Or is the JP side all fine with the way it is now?

They made a thread about it too and find it bad as well. They like the lv50 quest aura according to what I read. Their thread is just not as active as ours, jp people tend to give up easily, not like people on EN forums...
