    So I wanted to make this post and get some of the players thoughts or feelings about the current cosmetic auras.

    Are you eager to get a cosmetic aura? If so, do you have a preferred one?
    Are there anything you don't like about the auras?
    Would you like to see more auras or is it irrelevant to you?

    I'm just curious on what other people think and feel.

    As you may have noticed by the guides I have submitted; I like to share my knowledge or offer help when possible.
    I thought a few more cosmetic auras might be a welcome addition. I would like to add that these are all blizzard assets, just unused in the actual game. Keeping it "blizzlike".
    Just some thoughts anyways, let me know what you guys think.

    Aura 3

    Aura 4 (Follows Character Direction)

    Aura 5

    And at the other end of the spectrum, some non blizzard assets:

    I don't know how much players care about the cosmetic auras in the first place, which is the main reason for this post.
    If you guys feel cosmetic auras are important to you - I would be happy to edit these or expand upon our options further     with admin approval.

    Thanks for your interest, @RandAlThor. We already considered the mentioned auras in this thread before we made a top of the best looking ones and released the pre-season patch so if we didn't included others it's because they don't look that good. The second aura is one of the auras we thought of including at first but combined with other default auras it looks messy. We had two cleaner alternatives to Aura 3 which we used to call shield auras and while they may look okish as single auras, if you combine them with others the effect is relatively bad so at the moment we do not intend adding any new ones.
    Regarding the wings idea, I think you already messaged one of the admins and you were told they don't fit the game which I agree. Infact, we have very similar looking wings on our MU server that I manage and I think whoever created these wings used to play that game.

    My fault everyone - It is quite apparent I mistakenly shifted the focus away from the original intention of this post.

    I truly did want to know what people thought of the cosmetic auras used already in the framework of:
    Are you excited to get them?
    Do you have a preferred aura?
    Would you like to see more auras?
    Do auras even matter to you?

    The pictures were really only added because I figured everyone would respond to Question 3 with "It depends on the aura" or something similar.
    It was not intended to be the primary focus of this post, but I can see how it may have appeared that way with all the pictures.

    Thanks for your input all the same everyone; I'm still curious what everyone thinks about the cosmetic auras though, be they current or alternative.
