So, another 'pick X number of Y things' thread. This time, Aura Cosmetics.

1- Holo Hex aura. Similar to the original, perhaps change the shapes slightly.

2- Binary Code field.

3- Laser targeting eye- similar to CoX's auras.

I'm still not even certain what auras are supposed to look like.

    3. Dragon ball anime aura.

    2. Please give us an exchange rate between Acclaim and Recognition so that PVP has access to all "On Alert" PVE rewards.

    Fire, similar to what happens when you wander too close to one of the fires in Let's Stop a Riot! (as opposed to the dim, smoky thing that occurs around a fire-based character now).

    Light Aura - the opposite of Dark Aura. Preferably to include an opposite of Shadow Wings.

    Kirby Krackle aura, not unlike the aura that comes with Power Flight.

    Well seeing as we already have a dark aura...

    1. Swap slotted passive's appearance -- A way to swap appearances of existing auras with another slotted passive (let's be honest AoPM looks ugly and too much on female characters, would be better as a softer glow, similar to how AoRP has the OPTION of having a Runic Glow or no)

    2. Soft glow aura -- a consistent, slight glow; can copy & paste from what the Kinetic Manipulation slotted passive does when it's in its "active combat" mode, saving development time
      12265.jpg

    3. Shimmering light aura -- can do either as sparkly stuff:
      Holy_Aura_%28Visible%29.jpg
      -- or... misty stuff:

    Eww! :eek:

    No thanks! What the heck is wrong with you people, that looks hideous. More like your graphics card is failing than anything... Heck even in Minecraft I use those high-res texture packs (64x64 typically). But more importantly that doesn't fit the artistic style of this game, at all.

    It's like putting strawberry jam on meatballs & marinara sauce, or sprinkling dog food granules on top of your ice cream sundae. Just... don't... please... The exocets are ugly and make an annoyingly repetitive mechanical loop sound effect as it is, this would be so much worse.
    Do you have several level 40s?
    Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
    Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
    Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
    Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)

    Well, how are we going to see anything other than generic glow crap unless we suggest them, o infallible quintuple agent?

    1. a non-fiery glowing aura around the whole body, as others mentioned

    2. an aura with floating/orbiting flames or colored spheres

    3. an aura that is a glowing, faint version of the emblem choices

    I got aura ideas as well as single power replacer aura ideas too.

    Tachyon energy that bounces back and forth between target and your weapon.

    Distortion visual on a target hit with weapons or melee.

    Molten, frozen, shadow etc footprints.

    That pixel aura looks amazing animated. Sorry that one of the many possible aura ideas doesn't suit you. That's what diversity is for.

    Also consider that my request for a Sinclair Spectrum Attribute Clash aura. (Good luck with that shader.)

    Dont know if this would be possible but...an aura with a function for example, an aura which allows you to stay small in combat, same size as supershrinker device allows.

    PSI/Telepathic/Mental Aura's head/eye/forehead animations

    Force Field Aura's Allowing for an sphere or dome shaped forcefield.

    Crystalline Aura

    Bio Armor Aura..from something like CoH

    1. Crackling Electric Aura.

    2. Glowing light aura

    3. Flaming (i.e. Human Torch) aura

    My top 3 would be:

    1. Flies, for all those stinky heroes.
    2. Something like the slime aura from CoH.
    3. Glowing fists during combat.


    Exampels on a few auras from CoH, including the pizels and slime.

    Well, if we're going for any aura our minds could fathom...

    In no particular order :

    - A 'virtual distortion' sort of effect. Probably best explained by Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph, with the occasional jumping around of graphics.

    - A hazy grey static across the toon. Like if it was covered with a mild dosing of white noise across it, parts and all.

    - Colour cycling. As in, it rainbows your costume and turns you into a living rave party.

    Deliciously nutritious!

    - Corrupted aura, which would combine effects of Blazing Speed and Dark Aura, with body emanation density dependent on your current percentage of energy relative to your equilibrium, and it also leaves traces of black flames after your movements and attacks, and it partially clings to enemies as well, but the effects are strictly visual.
    - Afterimage aura.
    - Bleeding aura.

    This. This one bloody million times.

    Also, something like the rock aura from Mountain's bracers and boots, but with the peebles floating upwards slowly around you instead of you dripping them. Could even add some lil lightnings around you for added jollies.

    An "aura" that removes all visual fx from your character.

    With this "aura" on...you can use Defiance without glowing...you can use Invulnerability without sparkling...Unbreakable and Conviction no longer tint your character...etc...

    Well that's just going too far.

    That comparison alone...is reason enough for Cryptic to implement my aforementioned "aura" idea.

    Fantastic idea, to be honest.

    Let me honestly say that I REALLY hope these aren't all 'elemental' or 'magic' auras. If so, I'm not throwing a red cent into the pot.

    Oh please, why don't you get an aura that turns you into a bloody motionless statue and be done with it? It would certainly break the 4th and the 5th wall, wouldn't it?

    /movementreset will do a lot of what you asked.
    It resets when you zone though. I had that bound for a very long time when aspect of the bestial had its hideous graphic.
