Now that Darkside is in Combat only

[Chiraisu]

Can we get the old (or perhaps even the unreleased) GFX for Darkside applied to the new ability? I always loved the thematic of being some dark, brooding sword guy with this aura of darkness permeating from my person, and I know in the past that the GFX has been adjusted at least once, and potentially multiple times. Can we have this GFX adjustment reverted? Or.. even better, enhanced upon?

Yeah forget Fray, I want that aura that was shown in the job actions reveal trailer for HW,

They marketed this expansion on blazing purple flaming auras radiating from DRK, in the trailer.

Even in the benchmark tool, you see DRK pulling off a hard hitting three step combo at the start which doesn't actually exist in game. It would be nice if some of that marketing hype could actually, you know, make its way into the job.

There are so many places a proper DRK aura could show up. What about Blood Weapon and Delirium. Even our Living Shadow has a better DRK aura than we do.

I am glad they are getting rid of it because it didn't work with my glamour.

"Son, youre a DARK KNIGHT now, could you stop wearing blaze orange? We have to blend into the darkness now....come on!"

I still wish the Darkside aura would be purple and not red. Purple is so much better to depict black! :O

If you mean what the avatar does against the band of lesser sin eaters? I doubt that's more than just cutscene magic. I mean before the scene transition from Shin-Twintania (for lack of a better term) the avatar holds the sword up akin to FoS, but cancels the animation to lead into Plunge.

NO please NO. it was annoying and they did pretty well changing it long time ago !!.

I'd like that a bit, or maybe even the glowing eye like HW's benchmark showed. I know that's WAR's thing but we're copying everything else they do anyways so :^). General a better aura than just the pulsating odd red lines around the character would be nice. In general I'd love more dark looking skills in our rotation as well. Edge/Flood look so out of place when compared with Soul Eater and Syphon Strike.

It's not even Plunge. It's a dashlike charge, piercing the Sin Eater with the tip of our sword, bursting it through the nextbest wall...looks awesome, can't we have this as new gap closer? :lol:
