The Invisible Buff Effect

So basically turn something that should be free and a setting itself into a paid product that's going to cost $40-50 for people with already low end computers to get some fps increase.

hurr durr genius

Pay to WIN

oof

I normally support the MTX that GGG releases but this should be a free option to be completely honest.

Doesn't make sense to make people pay for a toggle option.

GGG please make MTX for mouse cursor ^_^

Are you people seriously being blinded this much by rage??
It is a cosmetic sold item, for those that do not want to see their effects because it could clash with looks!!
Why are you people bitching and complaining about graphics card issues, and FPS when this is made as a cosmetic in mind, not a fix. Stop bashing GGG over it when you don't even realize why they made it.
Think of it this way, you've got the full fairgraves pirate look to you, and you have these massive burning weapons, and conflicting effects on your character because of this, with the MTX and your buffs.
Doesn't look good, doesn't make you feel good.
New thing released allows you to change this. It is not a fix which you people all keep to seem pinning it as, it is for cosmetics. If you really want a change or fix, talk about it in a differnt forum thread or way, in which the game could be improved.
New options, tweaks to some settings in graphics, or anything, but stop trying to make this seem like a purchased way to fix your problems when GGG would be more than happy to provde a solution.

Disappointed! I was hoping you wouldn't show it being applied so we could meme about whether the character was actually using it, or just didn't have any buffs. :(

This really should have been made available under the standard graphics settings by default.

it shouldnt be free, its not a graphics option the same way turning down effects, texture res, AA etc is.

People have been requesting a vanishing dye for auras for cosmetic reasons, because one of their heralds/auras conflicts with the visual theme of their character and they wish to hide it, purely to capture the exact look they want. Weve been requesting a vanishing dye for auras for years, theyve added it for us, thats what its for.

Its not a graphics option for performance that theyre making u pay for, its nothing to do with that.

Ok, and tell me what is wrong with a checkmark on said aura/effect(s) to be visible or not? You know like many other games where you can hide helmet, backpack, and visual of your choice with a similar checkmarks for 'free'. Those other games also offer pay options and mtx but with that option to hide stuff you have control over the effect and/or style of your characters.

But ya, instead sell us something to hide content they can potentially intentionally set to be ugly/annoying. AS I said before, it is opening something bad the same way people now accept game to have 0-day DLC.

Come on guys, fix this.. The entire community is up in arms about MTX that are clearly anti consumer by design. It's crippling AAA developers so what do you think these kind of moves are gonna do for PoE?! How about doing the right thing that's smart and just give your players F12 toggle for aura [ON] OFF on gems that contain a persistent aura? What about players who purchase an aura from the store get account wide access to the feature? Give the players a reason to invest in the game while maintaining your integrity as a developer by letting people access the feature if they level a gem to 20. Whoever OK'd this needs a new job cause I can think of another 5 ways to implement this that would still be long run beneficial to the game's income without overly upsetting a wide portion of the core playerbase..
