+1 Graphical Options Those new auras are really poorly made, i think i could do a 100% replica of them in Second Life in 3 minutes flat. A flat texture rotating on a square polygon is not like you guys.

A medium option (along with high and low options) would be great for still a great look but not too much like before. Tech guy	Posted by Warrax#2850 on Apr 8, 2013, 12:56:45 AM Quote this Post
New auras seem okay, but it's kind of annoying having graphics gimped because of other people's worthless 10 year old "gaming" laptops. I would rather have seen the auras alternate between which one is visible. I do like the new resistance aura, previous one seemed a bit over the top.

I would also like to have the option to switch to the old auras they are such a big impact on your spec that they deserve to look truly awesome.

Old ones good, new ones meh. Please give us an option to choose the ones we like if this really is a performance issue. My game runs just the same. (maybe fix the de-sync issues first?) If you can't make selecting the auras an option just bring the old ones back. The new ones give me a sad.	Posted by respwnd#7231 on Apr 8, 2013, 1:16:33 AM Quote this Post
I'd rather have aura sprites ripped straight out of D2.

I bought my computer 6 months ago and it cost almost $3000. This game has some weird graphics issues with some combinations of processers/gfx cards. Running the game on max settings now I have 160+ FPS where as before with auras active it would plummet down under 30. IGN: Narbays	Posted by narbays#1524 on Apr 8, 2013, 1:49:46 AM Quote this Post
This change alone is making PoE much better for me. Thanks! Honestly though, I thought Auras were a big gaping hole in PoE's aesthetic. I'm not talking about performance, it just doesn't fit to have huge light shows in such a dark/moody game. Now they look much more appropriate for their environment.
