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

+1 Graphics Option

I do honestly believe that the old aura's look significantly better then what they are presently. I due suggest that Grinding Gear Games begins to either reinstate the old aura's or simply ad an option for those who have the computer power to run the frames per second with 7 auras applied at a time.

I had just started an Elemental Wander Templar. One of the perks of running this Templar was to run 7 auras, in the effect, it made the character stand out and made me look simply "cooler" then without the auras.

However, now they simply look bland, boring and uninteresting. They do not appeal to me nearly as much as they used to. But this might be a probable cause of change. But my opinion can definitely derive in this scenario that the change to the auras have made me divert my attention to attempting to make an Elemental Wander to make a different Character. One of the reasons that I wanted to run the Templar was to make him look buffed out with all the "cool" auras, but now it seems pointless.

Now they're are a few options... Grinding Gear Games can reapply the old auras. Or create some form of Graphical Option ( if possible ) to allow those player who can run all the auras and a decent frame rate should be aloud to do so.

Auras = High/Low

Low = The current auras
High = Old auras

I don't know if adding a Graphical Option for the Aura would be necessarily difficult. But I would suggest to either let fans know it is impossible or reapply the old auras.

BRING BACK THE OLD AURAS ! PLEASE GGG

.

my thoughts

• new auras are great.
• people will not care in 2 weeks anyways
• if you change them again please only make them more awesome and less christmas tree
• don't listen to the haters, people hate change thus will trash everything that is change.

Why making old auras an option is a bad idea:

There will be probably many more changes to the way things look. not only auras, but probably areas, armour models and so on.

Giving an option to go to an older version of things for everything will just be insane!

Imagine!

Options:
- old auras
- old majestic plate texture
- old copper armor template
- old some_area look
- old some_other area look
- old light inside some_area
- old texture on this stuuf
- old texture on some other stuff
- old shield artwork
- old some_skill effect
- old some_other skill effect

etc.. more and more with every patch

You just have to accept the changes or make some reasonable arguments against them (not: "me no like itz")

What?

A graphical option for performance has nothing to do with an armor plate. Under your strange argument we should just do away with:

Shadow Type
AA
Texture Quality
Texture Filtering
Post Processing
Screen Shake

While we are at it who needs different resolutions, just suck it up...

Before saying something in a topic, read it at least a few pages first. Nobody here said that they want the old auras back and the new ones out, we all agree that the game must have a video option settings to high or low auras, just that. And we are not haters, we just like the old auras style and we are asking to bring them back in a polite and civilized way, completely different from you.

People providing feedback in a respectful manner is now being a hater?
I like looking like a christmas tree, you don't. I don't see why the two options can't coexist, which is what most people have been proposing, or asking for.

Greatly prefer new auras.

I don't see a sticky thread dedicated to giving positive feedback, so I thought I would just put it here.

I actually was really annoyed with the auras, I'm a pretty newish player. The "old" auras, I guess. They didn't fit AT ALL. This is a dark game. The giant auras reminded me of WoW.

In a game like this, I really expected "aura" like in the true sense, a very slight, little thing, almost. A feature.

These ones are a lot better at capturing it, I think.

Where did this new type of giant aura come from? DBZ? I am going to say DBZ.

"Back in the day" auras were subtle...
