I'm sorry but these B.S. excuses just don't cut it anymore. as mentioned only a dev can confirm.

The problem with "devs from elsewhere have" said is that the the devs here have already stated they won't be taking anything from the other servers so that argument won't be accepted and also because (to the best of my knowledge) version of the game being run by those other devs have gotten unstable from their simply throwing things into the game and kuldging them to work no matter how much it disrupts their own game. And I personally don't want that to happen here. 2

Sure, see example: “Effect: Shocking” gives you access to all of these auras, in addition to color customization. I find them far cooler than the standard lightning aura, and even better when combined with it for 2 different colors.

Also, I didn't say these auras weren't different, just that changing colors on these auras is not "heavily customizable". I still stand by that statement. I will however concede that the aura you cherry picked has more animation options than the one I did.

Usually they line up with what’s available in an armor set. For instance you have animations for all three of Electric Armor’s shield toggles here.

It was specifically due to the fact that he attempted to add 30 items to the overall list of items in the character customization menu. Something that isn't and wasn't even being requested. I seriously feel like some people around here are deliberately obtuse. This doesn't disrupt your game. You can relax 🙄 1

What are you looking for before you are willing to accept something as not just colors for customization? Whether you believe other devs outside of HC hold any merit or not is besides the point. You have already stated you don't really know or understand the differences between HC's underlying code and the others, whereas I have at least a little bit of direct knowledge. I can assure you, there is merit with regard to the other devs work and functionality. At the end of the day, I don't believe either of the devs need you or I to defend them or their abilities. Unless you have a valid reason for shitting on the thread with delusional cries of messing with your game, do you have anything of value to add? Because once again, adding a second aura option in the character customization screen literally does not ruin your game play. So....you're good. Edited Monday at 06:04 PM by nekkidtruth

It's definitely more customizable than I thought. I specifically tested Psionic which is one of the least customizable ones. It left a sour taste in my mouth. That being said, I was also looking for the abilities of the regular aura chosen in the character customization screen for these. My expectation and reality were obviously not aligned.

Shitting on the thread was harsh on my part. I was irritated and all of the posts are starting to blend together. Ultimately, adding the second aura neither breaks the UI or makes the game "unstable". My request was for a dev to provide a genuine reason for this not being implemented and I was hit with an array of B.S. answers from non-devs. I apologize for saying you shit on the thread. 1
