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

[Ditto]

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.

It being a permanent Aura with Darkside isn't a big deal. In fact Dark Knight works well with it because they're all about darkness visually.

Problem is, the aura is ugly on it's own, and the way it is right now, it's hardly even there anymore.

First they butchered the aura by removing it's only focal point before release, and now they cut it's size and opacity down by a lot. I mean I understand they had to do something about the supposed 'eye strain' complaints, but they just keep butchering our aura. It's only like 25% of what it use to be now.

Went from being a beautiful, visually pleasing aura in the ability preview video, to this faded out excuse of a strobe light effect.

Yeah I'm still waiting for them to add the black flames again. And if yoshida isn't changing it just because he likes it even though so many people want it changed that is horribly selfish

I'd really prefer to just have the black flames. The red flaring just makes it unnecessarily big and obnoxious.

And if the problem is the ground circle, then make it without one? I'm sure they could make that look cool.

So... Is this really okay now with everyone?

[Dante_V]

No. We jumped to bumping the other thread that is a request instead of a whine.

No its not, this atrocious effect still needs fixed. It still hurts my eyes because of how bad it is. I would love it to be changed or modified in a way. I would love it for example if the effect was around the blade, or person.

My own view, probably a minority view, is that the effect should be changed to just be glowing eyes. Get rid of the entire Aura completely. Just crazy glowing eyes like Fray's.

Oh that would be cool. Or if it really has to be a bigger aura then the black flames close around the body would be perfect. Anything but this horrible distracting eyesore we have currently.
