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

[Giantbane]

SE please make the aura smaller and fit the character only, dark knights are annoying everyone. Personnaly, I chose not to main DRK mainly because of this. (I did a right choice by coming back to my WAR though)

That may be my biggest complaint about it, that it's so big.

In addition to the black flames, I remember the red aura part being much tighter on the body, like 1/5th or so of its current size. If it was a lot smaller, in close on the body, it would be less obnoxious.

So they are not willing to check the aura before 4.0. Guys, let's gather in ydilshire with drk and auras on, take screenshots and show SE how bothering it is. They dared compare it to monk 's greased lightning.
Don't give up people.

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

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Hopefully this isn't the case and that's just a rumor spreading around the JP forums. If not... =/

It's or a rumour unfortunately. However he said he would check with his team to see what he can do, but it would take time...obviously it's far from being their priority.

So just cause he likes something, he has to change it for others? Who is the Director of this game again?

Besides, they reduced the size of the aura so it's "size" is no excuse anymore.

If that response from Yoshida is legitimate, that really says a lot of what he thinks of the players.

There's loads of complaints about this effects. Not just something as simple as "It's bad, I want something else", but the fact that it's just unpleasant and sometimes painful to look at, the fact you can't turn it off, the fact it extends a million miles away from your character, and the fact it's incredibly obvious out of combat. I hate having to use darkside. It doesn't really do too much for me since I have full vitality gear, but it's still adding more enmity and opens up more moves. I feel like I'm bothering my party with it on to the point I feel like making a macro that expresses how sorry I am that I have to put them through the agony of the effect when I use it. In fact, someone do that. Let's bring the complaints in game more. Bring more attention to it. Please.

<Spoilers for current event>
Yoshida's comments are bad, but what feels really insulting is how in the current event, on the 18th Floor, Yoshida and his staff gather around you and build up your ego like you're really important to them. I think Yoshida's NPC even claims that they always take note of criticisms and do everything they can from feedback to improve the game.

THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT.

It seems like the majority of people want it changed. there are floating numbers of people that either don't care or are fine with it, but i'd say the biggest percentage of players would like to see it changed as QoL issue.

[SpiritMuse]

It is the only battle aura effect that remains permanently visible outside of combat. Even when it's on my own DRK it annoys me.
