For whatever it's worth:
New auras are definitely 5 steps backwards. I had zero problems with the old ones. My 4-year old mid-range computer was rendering them just fine, and running the game okay in parties with auras on. I don't see why they were considered too intensive to run, considering how many other graphically more intensive games there are out there.
New auras look like cheaply drawn patches of revolving color - I've seen people do better art in MS Paint.
Sorry GGG, for as many things as you've done right to make POE a great game, this isn't one of them.

yeh quote my respond only partially... out of context...
btw- I saw no changes AT ALL except crappier graphics... people that have a decent computer (not necessarily expensive, just build and maintained right) would not see any improvement... of btw DE-sync is still there just like it was before this patch
It wasn't done for performance reasons, or at least not entirely. It was also done to allow people to see what the fuck is happening on the screen.

deal with it, most people dont have a nuclear reactor for a computer, this change helps minimize the lag problems everyone has been complaning about.

Most likely because the old auras blocked a lot of your screen, especially if there was a summoner on the group you couldnt see jackshit.
I kinda like the concept, but I think a little something.
@victordoom Amazing argument, could you try to not be as reddit as possible. ThisLOL DEAL WITH IT M8 XDDDD bullshit behaviour gets you nowhere in life and this isnt the place to show it.
Noone has to deal with anything since the forums exists to give feedback, that SHOULD NOT only be positive, hell it doesnt even really help them if it is. So go do the common redditor thing, upboat/downboat some comments but dont try to get into an argument, you people arent capable of arguing anyway, probably because you dont have to, you can just downvote anything you dont like so other people dont see it.

By the way. What about Molten Shell ? Any changes will come in the future ? At the moment we have big floating object, which covers almost whole character and eats lots of computer memory...
I'm ok with new auras. And thanks for not touching Grace. This is the best visual effect I have ever seen in game.

Hello,
I also do not like the new concept too much, but at least if this cannot be reverted try to polish the new auras effect - the new ones look like they were made of 16 colors - and it simply does not fit to the rest of the great piece of art which PoE currently is...

i think auras are decent, there are just 3 I dont really like
1. vitality (pls make it have 2sickles instead of just one boring...)
2. haste (wtf that looks like shit now, no creativity)
3. purity (pls make it have differnt colors or sth like that again)
In GGG we trust.

Additional graphic option for those who want old auras models seems the best solution.

Again: why not an option, like others (vsync, trilinear, resolution, graphics, shadows...)
The actual move makes no sense.

Despite the F2P nature of PoE, I've always felt like I was playing a high-quality game with nice visuals and sounds. The auras, in particular, looked very nice and were a boon to screenshots that I posted to community forums when trying to promote PoE during closed beta.
These new auras should have been part of a "low FX" option for people with low-end systems instead of being rolled out across the board. Reducing the visual clutter around minions and party members I completely understand, but replacing the great-looking aura effects around our characters with (frankly) budget effects does a disservice to both your players and the game as a whole.
You guys have "continued to incrementally improve the art, effects and environments and audio" and the game has looked and sounded better and better with each patch; please don't start undoing all that work.
