"When it was first implemented, the aura was really strong and people could not see through it. Now that we reduced it, the overall feedback settled down and players are fine with the color."

You misunderstand.

It's not the color we had a problem with, we HATE the animation.

Please give us the blackish-flamed one from the DRK Questline (the one the NPC uses) instead.


Also, too many MCH Visuals are very underwhelming, please boost a few abilities' animations. Suggestions for that & other things here:

Perhaps you are just too sensitive...

Cant you just turn off darkside aura when you arent fighting? I seriously cant believe this is even something to complain about.

I mean, you are ok with this...



But that darkside aura.... man, just cant handle it...

I sign. Darkside hurts my eyes. I always try to put it off. It's not okay to have to avoid the effect of one skill because of its bad design. Please SE.

Really... Really? Then you sir are playing the wrong game if darkside is too much for you. Better stay out of all combat and stay far away from any group content. Jeez, 24 man raids must just make your eyes bleed.

Not that I agree with the thread, but you do have an option to turn off battle effects for yourself, part members and others.

We would also STILL like to have it obey the settings so we don't have to see it if we don't want to.

This, a thousand times this. I don't care what it looks like as long as it obeys the effects settings.

I'm sorry but the darkaura complains are just dumb. The sfx effect are very light and soft even if mutiple drks are on the same zone. Stop complaining and get a better gpu.

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.

What does having a better GPU have to do with the darkside effect again? (lol)

Because then you can have a higher resolution and zoom further out? I think it's the equivalent of "It hurts your eyes? Then don't look at it."

I'm not sure how something that looks hideous in good graphics would look any better with great graphics.

Stop complaining and get a better gpu.

My friend is running a Titan and still hates the aura. Any other good suggestions, doctor?
