Now that players can hide it,can we have a better looking Darkside aura?

we really dont need an aura, bards dont have an aura for their stance , MCH get an horrible attachment to their guns , PLD need to check their buffs to know , Wars dont show the aura until they get 1 charge of wrath....

Remove it or make it look cool or like everyother game make the hands glow , the weapon glow , or an aura on the feets that isnt distracting.

I prefer they improve the aura instead of removing it. It's not fair that other jobs got well designed auras while darkside just gets nerfed to the point where you can barely see it. Now that there is a way to hide the aura (even if it's not the exact way many wanted but you still got it) they should just improve it.

And at this point,anything would be better than what it looks like now,which is barely noticeable outside of combat and almost impossible to tell it's active during combat.

Look, you have devs caring about some stupid gamera reference mount that is totally uncalled for and actually, quite lore unfriendly (for a game that has lore in such high regard that we still don`t have free-GC PvP)... And you people are caring about QoL improvements?

And yeah, Darkside Aura needs to be improved cause actually it kinda horrible. But also, such thing won`t happen cause in SE mindset, Darkside Aura QoL improvements were already done and there is nothing else to do.

Funniest thing is that they don't have to put much effort in to give us a better aura because it's already in the game (Lv.50 DRK quest). They could just give us that and call it a day, its not like egi glamour which requires a boatload of new assets to be created. Really, it's incomprehensible as to why they haven't done this yet.

A dark purple "darkness" color with it's current animation would have made it look cooler (AND kept it from activating my Vertigo since it was the red more than the swirling effect).

Don't know why they picked a spining, semi visible, "colorblind red". (What is it with all the colorblind unfriendly colors anyway?)

You should make your own thread if you have issues instead of hijacking someone elses. You're not special, you don't have the right to say his issues and concerns are less important than yours. A good portion of what you listed is barely important anyway

It's in the graphic settings.Turn down the effects for other players/yourself and you'll stop seeing the aura.

D: wha....
I thought we have(or would have) an Turn off option only for that Aura! I still like to see my graphic Animations from skills!

I believe they said they couldn't make such an option for a single skill effect but dont quote me on that.But it used to be that even with the effects completely turned off you would still see the aura and that's what a lot of people complained about.Now the aura obeys the graphic settings like all other effects in the game.

Either way,now that it does have a way to be hidden,all I'm asking is for the effect itself to be changed/improved for those of us who want to see a good looking aura like the other jobs have.I'm not even saying what it should look like(even tho I would prefer the aura from the dark knight level 50 job quest)because like I said before,anything would be better than what it looks like now.

I truly fail to understand this one. My understanding is they removed the really cool looking dark aura and made that red one because they thought the dark one looked wrong on a mount. This is a problem how? Reinstate the really cool aura and then let players decide if it looks bad on a mount to them. If it does, you can turn the aura off yourself by clicking the skill off. No interface needed or special coding. Or, just have the aura not show while on a mount. I really don't get it.

This is a good point. The black flames looking weird to them while mounted isn't a great reason to remove them in my opinion. If the player doesn't like how it looks while mounted,then they can turn darkside off before using a mount. A dark knight doesn't need darkside turned on for anything while mounted,only for battle.

This request to improve darkside's aura is not a difficult one in my opinion,since the assets for great looking dark auras already exist in the game.
