    You sure you're in the right topic here? You clearly didn't read anything.

    Even I agree that some of the complaints about the aura causing eyestrain were a bit ridiculous, but that was a problem that was already fixed. This thread is about getting back the original Darkside we were promoted with in the ability preview video, or just having it changed in general. Not because we cant handle the way it looks, but because many, many people think it's hideous, and only an empty half of what it use to be.

    The black flame was the dark aspect of the aura. It was Darkness.
    The red was the background effect that more so symbolized sacrifice in life (Blood is life), aspects that can emotionally tie to darkness.

    It provided a full image for the aura, the same way Wrath has the super Saiyan circle, and the yellow lightning that zaps around closer to your character. They compliment each other, the same way the red and black complimented each other on the original Darkside aura. But now the black is gone, and we're left with a background visual that isn't quite tying itself to or complimenting anything, causing it to look more bloodlust than darkness because red is only dark when it is made to look dark. Take Scourge's visual for example, it's a good mix of red and black giving it a dark yet bloody look to it.

    Call it over thinking it if you want, but aesthetic means a lot to some people. Especially in the case with Dark Knight, seeing as they are exactly what they symbolize; freedom through darkness. Red strobe lights alone is not Darkness, and does not fit 'Darkside'. Especially now with the 3.07 change to the aura, the opacity and possibly the size were nearly destroyed. It's ridiculously feint now.

    Also 'sfx' = sound effects. It's the visual effect 'vfx' that's being discussed.
