Mount is closer to you "despawning" and gaining control over another character, rather that transform. In that state you unmerge without an animation to cancel the effects it provides. This way all mounts are equal on all classes (-the weapon swap effects). Either way making the effect fade away shouldn't be a problem, by just causing the texture to lower opacity and then turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you automatically re-merge after dismounting. So there's a function that removes the graphic automatically.

Exactly, this can easily be solved if the game devs will address it for us. It's interesting that quite a few threads across the internet have been made asking for this change since SB came out, yet they haven't addressed it at all. Meanwhile they changed untamed's aura to fade away nearly immediately after its release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's because some artist thinks their creation was so good that even those who don't like it must be forced to view it. Too bad they don't realize their ego is costing the SB specialization more usage, considering it's well documented that people are choosing to forego playing it altogether rather than being forced to view the effect. If not that, then because Anet doesn't care to put the effort into fixing it because it doesn't make them any money.

CipherNine.9273 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) After unlocking the new Primordius's Flight skin on my character and seeing its effects smothered in lime green graphics, I cannot let this go. Idk what it's going to take, but something needs to change here. Make the aura fade, provide options in the settings to turn it off in some fashion, make it adjust to compliment equipped Aurene weapon themes—just as many skills are. Something has to be done; it's unacceptable that Soulbeasts are locked into wearing this heavily limiting graphic/animation. Below are links to gifs of my character with the aura and my fire themed outfit for reference.

Aamu.3952 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 This has been a regularly recurring topic since PoF was released. Probably the most requested SLB change ever. Insult to injury, Untamed comes out, immediately implementing the change we've been asking for years. Totally ignored and avoided at this point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipherNine.9273 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Even if it takes a whole minute to fade or something, fine. But for this to perpetually show, unless you mount or turn the transformation off, is ridiculous. This aura surely must disincentivize, and in some cases altogether stop, players from working so hard to get legendaries with effects for their Soulbeasts outside of a select few at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matoro.9708 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hopefully something is done, but it's probably as likely as turrets getting a rework or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if Anet's reasoning is not enough people are complaining, then I'd respond by saying that their lack of any response concerning it over the past five years has made MANY people think it's a waste of time. It would be nice if they'd just take some sort of stance on it, rather than be radio silent and pretend as if it's not been controversial since Soulbeast was released . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'll add my +1 to this, for what it's worth. Switched to my Soulbeast last weekend and am already annoyed with the effect, and really haven't played it all that much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its seems to me a lot more people than Anet realizes play SB less, or not at all, because of this effect. For a game that is so heavy on cosmetics and appearance, it's baffling that nothing has been done to this date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's very difficult to code that in but. That way you don't upset anyone because everyone has their cookies. I've asked for them to let us disable certain particle effects numerous times over the years. Arenanet has yet to do as little as publicly acknowledge that some people want this.

Telgum.6071 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I made my character to vibe with that aura so if they do this I hope it's optional, otherwise don't make it at all. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet couldn't care less about this issue, if it wasn't already obvious. They've got more skins to create so that profits keep coming. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project exa.3204 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I propose the aura on Untamed stay on all the time when it's ranger unleashed, just like when merged with pet on soulbeast. It may look like crud but that should be the cost of playing untamed. -Eros of Ascalon 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinnia.1842 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I like the aura of the Soulbeast, if it was changed I would prefer the graphics to be a toggle option OR the graphic is adjusted in someway but doesn’t lose the nature aesthetic. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Templar.4589 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I too would love to see an option to disable the merged SB effect. I know there are those who like it so we probably don't want to remove it all together, but I'm in the group where the merged effect ruins the aesthetic I've put together for my character. When we put so much work (and gems in some cases) into putting together just the right look for a character, I hate to see it need to have the vines and leaves distracting from that. Please consider giving us a way to disable the merged SB effect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philvaneyck.1932 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I also want to remove the effect. It is really annoying for fashion... pls anet.. 😞 Just make a toggle option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
