Post aura rage here. I will lock any other aura thread I see.

+1 Graphic Options.

I mean the new auras are cleaner but the old ones looked better and i had no problems playing with 5 other ppl. togheter with the best graphic settings on.

I also like the aura look. I for one thought it was ridiculous that everyone looked like walking disco balls and I am very much for the new conservative look.

p.s. Please note that before anyone bashes this post that this is my opinion and I am entitled to it just as much as the people who don't like the auras.

Good job GGG, keep up the great work :)

I think the old auras were better. Im guessing the purpose of making them more minimalistic was to make the screen less clutterly and easier to see things. I think the direction of reducing effects is wrong and it wont solve the problem. I think the best solution would be to have very thin red outlines on monsters when they are behind all the effects. For example, running endgame maps with a full caster/range party renders the whole screen in a colorful glow of effects. You cant see a single monster. But if we could see their silhouettes being rendered through the effects we could still clearly see and target them. I think this is the best solution.

I got soo sad when i saw them..

So much butt hurt and QQ as usual when GGG makes a change in the game. I for one LOVE the new auras and much prefer them over the old. The new are more understated and clean looking. Good job guys!

Congratulations. The first idiot in this thread to use the word butthurt regarding the voicing of other people's opinions. You won't win any prizes for crawling up GGG's backside.

Yes because calling someone voicing their opinion an "idiot" makes you superior how exactly? Also just because someone prefers the changes to your apparent opposition of them doesn't mean that they are crawling up anyone's backside haha. If you wish to continue personal insults take it to PM and leave it out of the thread as it doesn't add anything constructive to the discussion. ;)

New auras look like shit.

I never had a problem with the old auras in a full group and everyone else running multiple auras because my PC isnt some piece of shit my mommy bought me at walmart.

If GGG reintroduces these as a microtransaction....

Im going to fall over laughing. The nerd rage will be epic.

I have to say that I love the new aura effects. I always thought the old ones were too much. They were distracting and a bit tacky. The new ones seem to be much more controlled and less imposing, yet they still have been touched with GGG's detail and quality. Whoever worked on the art, I think you have done a great job.

The backlash here reminds me mostly of the socket change patch in CB where many (myself included) complained and asked for the option to keep the old layout. But now, when I see screenshots of the old socket/link art, it is hard to believe that is how they used to look. I've learned to trust GGG's art sense because after a change's initial shock wears off, their decisions usually become favored. But this time, I don't have to just trust them. The new auras are a strong step forward, in my humble opinion.

@Astramor
They could also change it to the old socket style for one patch. Can you imagine how many people would complain and demand the old (current one) style back or an option to keep it?
If these forums ever become too silent, all they need to do is switch some art time to time :)

I actually didn't like the old ones. Looked like Dragonball. Whole screen was spammed with lightning balls n stuff. I really like the minimalistic approach. They should do this with more skills like they have done with lightning arrow.
Like it was before you couldn't even see when arctic shield was on. The spam will get worth and worth the more skills are released.

I like them, but then again I also liked the old ones...
