Post aura rage here. I will lock any other aura thread I see.
" "Since pretty much everyone does minus a few builds it doesn't exactly add anything unique when everyone has them." Someone else looking cool does not make me feel less cool about my auras if I play solo. "cutting horsepower requirements here should in theory benefit 6 man parties." If the graphics quality of auras is set to be chosen via options, this is not an issue. |

+1 Graphic Option.
It's so simples to make all the players happy. Video Settings AURAS - HIGH/LOW Done! Those old auras are so beautiful, please, i beg of you, add an option soon! |

I'll add my 2 cents: The new visual is good, reduce a lot of clutter in party/minion group. I'm pretty much fine with it.
However, many people who do not like it suggest that it is hard to notice / not awesome enough, especially if it is on monster. Being able to instantly recognize the auras is very helpful. My suggestion is to make the owner of the aura with splashy graphics, while keeping this visual for receiver of the aura. That way clutter is still reduced and it is even easier to tell whose aura are which. Unviable build tester.

+1 for an option to have the old graphics back.
New ones look like nothing. Because at this point, why even have graphics at all ? Without graphics, we would save money on graphic cards and ram and cpu... Seriously, have some sense and re-design this, at least to bring back some coolness in the visual effects. |

I would guess these are better for parties but I liked the looks of the old ones better and I almost never play in a group. Having the option to enable the old style would be awesome.

the new aura effect doesn't look like auras at all. it looks like a character selection effect. it really looks crappy and pain in the eyes.

Vitality - I kinda like it, definitely an upgrade.
Haste - Yes, maybe change the monster version too. Determination - This one needed the change most, and now it's nice, in line with the other auras. Clarity - Very nice, I like it a lot. Sometimes it doesn't look that great with certain auras (Anger for example) but with Discipline it is OK. Anger, Hatred, Wrath - Yes. Finally it doesn't look so ugly when you run all of them. Purity - Not in line with others. I expected some cleaner version of the old one but what we got is kind of bad. Now aura stacking looks fine, which is great. (But it is too powerful and I hope we get some change about it eventually. Yes, yes, not about art so w/e.) Why after any graphic change there is always so many people asking for options? Give it a week guys, we got used to bigger changes and from today's perspective they make a lot of sense. Not saying everyone will like the auras in a week. Hard to believe I would get used to the Purity aura. Heh. We'll see. ✠ ✠

I honestly prefer the austerity of the new ones and was never particularly fond of the old 7-aura super saiyan chic. But for those who do I don't see why they shouldn't have access to it in the UI.

Haven't seen all the auras yet, but I do believe I know of a solution. The designs are actually much more intricate (from the ones I've seen). Problem is, we can't actually see them.
Double the size of the auras. If this is = to how large the monsters auras are, bring it down a little bit. But I think doubling the size would allow us to actually see the detail. |
