Suggestion: Change the ugly green aura when merged

Could we please change this into something like a Rev Facet? A green facet when merged? The current aura just kills the Fashion Wars!

Made a similar suggestion in this thread: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/28176/soulbeast-green-aura#latest

At least they can make it something more common like white for example or semi transparent white....or something...Or let us dye it xD

Just let the effect be tweakable by animation settings. The vines can be gone for good IMO, they just clip everywhere.

I quite like the aura. It's humble and fits the ranger with all the vines and leaves. People are being way too pissy about this, c'mon, ranger has like zero visual effects otherwise. Let them have it

Also you speak of fashion wars whilst wearing an outfit. SMH

My ranger is a sylvari so it fits me perfect.

Same for me :D ;) ...

... But that looks good though? You have a nice color set up there. At least since you're human it doesn't clip through you.

Well, so is mine, but it doesn't work at all (let alone when using Winter's Presence) :

So, it's "go green (maybe yellow/brown) or go home" :/ .

So Fuzzy Pop, maybe you are Sylvari, maybe you are a ranger, but your character doesn't seems to be what a Sylvari or a ranger is suppose to be. Your armor skin, colors etc looks more like Harley Quinn from Death Squad, than a ranger.No offence, but you can't dress like a robot and want to look like a puffy puppy ;) .

No offence taken :)“Supposed to be”? I didn’t realize there were rules to Fashion Wars. So in order to dress the way I like I must play not only a different race but also a different class? Fun :pAnyway, to each their own. I wish they would at least give us the option to turn it off client-side.

Doesn’t really matter though, we know full well Anet won’t change it at this point. Especially since they’d already toned it down a lil’ bit shortly after release.Guess I’ll just have to accept that I’m now a walking fart cloud with a swirling diarrhea ribbon ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

So in order to dress the way I like I must play not only a different race but also a different class? Fun :pUsual , we have a value system, a reference system for everything like food, clothing, design, good, bad, good etc ... In this general/usual reference system a race/class is represented by a value/type/mode, something what make you thinking that "that is a ranger", let's say it's like when you see on a cover a humanoid with a bow in hand you will know (or your first thought about) is a ranger and not an elementalist. That's why I said your character look doesn't fit with usual/general (at least Anet first proposal) ranger. Ofc doesn't exist rules for Fashion, it's up to you how, what or when to wear something, but when Anet put that green aura on Soulbeast, they thoughts were that rangers are in communion with nature (wood = green) and like in many movies/animations creatures in communion with nature are usual represented by green/brown colors.Probably if this aura was pink/red color , would fits better with your costume/look ;) .At least this is my opinion.

Fair enough, I agree :+1:

Sure, until I decide to change up my look (it happens). That’s why I’d rather it be a floor decal like the herald facet, so it doesn’t obscure the character and anyone could use any color scheme they like. Plus I’m kinda biased since green is not exactly my favorite color ;) .But honestly, I’m not all that invested in this whole debate, just thought I’d chime in since this is like the 4th-ish recent post on this subject. It is what it is, I suppose.Cheers :) .

I built my ranger entirely around the aura because I loved it so much, and wished my mesmer had something similar to it too.https://vgy.me/sEnjiZ.jpg

I wish the delete Soulbeast made me hate my main witch is ranger , after switching Mains slowly I stopped played this game sad hopefully next expansion ireno won’t be in charge for ranger espec

Why tf would you hate ranger because of an elite, just play core or druid. No one is telling you to play soulbeast

Like you, Sila, I love the Soulbeast aura!I :heart: its LOOKI :heart: its SOUNDSI DIG it A LOT :sunglasses:

With the above said, I do understand that some folks don't really like it (or even hate it), so perhaps there could be an option to disable the SoulB's aura... at least in PvE. (In competitive play, auras are useful ways to distinguish a player's class/spec, so I'd leave them in those game modes.)

Just my 2 copper's worth :wink:Cheers! :smile:

The only solution that's sensible. Low setting = green mist/sparkle orbs, medium setting = low+floating leaves, high setting = everything. If someone wants to see more/less, change the setting.

No thanks, I very much like the aura as it is.

People who like the aura generally like it because it looks good on their character. However, that's the issue, you need to match your colour choices accordingly.

@BadMed.3846 said:People who like the aura generally like it because it looks good on their character. However, that's the issue, you need to match your colour choices accordingly.Eh, I don’t wear green armor. In fact, I don’t really see a need to. It’s an aura of power, not your clothes...

The whole idea about fashion wars is making your character look the way you want it to look. I shouldn't have to change my armor colors to match the aura if I didn't want the aura to begin with.

At least make it like a ground hologram like the Revanent has.

I think the green aura looks nice and fits the whole ranger theme quite nicely. I wouldn't want them to do anything other then just allow you to dye the aura a different color.

I love it on my sylvari. That said, I see no harm on allowing it to be dyed for people who don't like it.
