So...Darkside effect, you guys are joking right?

[Dajinn]

Oh okay, yeah you might be right about how it was mostly the effects of other players. Haven't played or visited the forums in quite some time, just remember it was a big complaint.

While what you say is true in regards to darkside obeying(and previously not obeying) the global settings, i'm not really sure that's what the players ACTUALLY wanted. Also, honestly, the patch notes almost seem to imply that there's a specific setting for darkside and that only its graphic can be turned off completely. From what I remember most of the complaints were about how annoying darkside was, not about how turning off other battle effects doesn't also turn off darkside...

I'd like to think that players also enjoy seeing full battle effects from other characters as well(with exceptions of course here and there).

Anyway, I don't have a DRK above level 31 so it doesn't bother me much if at all. Just thought it was amusing and wanted to see how others will react.
