I can barely see my Ghostly Aura! Can you please make it more visible?

I purchased a Ghostly Aura from another player for quite a bit of CE, since I thought it would look great with my Chaos Set. While it certainly looks fantastic, the effect is hardly visible!

Would there be any way to convince the art department to increase the visuals on the aura? I'd love to be able to see it more clearly, the same way I can see similar effects. For example, the Vog has bright, glowing magma, and the Virulisk has colorful, green acid, both of which are highly visible. I understand that they're supposed to be ghosts, but if I can hardly see them, it diminishes my enjoyment of the effect. Can this be fixed?

Much appreciated! Thanks! ;)

I agree

I think it needs to be re-worked as well. With max settings you barely even notice it's there.

Edit: Heck, It's such a small detail that I can't even see it in the screen shots I took. Basically there's supposed to be these little gray slivers that resonate from the feet and travel upward past the head.

Here's a better one where you can see the slivers more clearly. (Upper left)

I realize that the awareness

I realize that the awareness of this issue might not be as high right now (because of the rarity of the item), but it's definitely important. There is already another thread expressing concern about the visual effects.

Please increase this effect, so I can see this awesome aura more clearly. :D

It is extremely hard to see the ghostly aura. For something so rare and nice, it should be easily visible. Perhaps the smoke could be changed to a purplish color or something easier to see.

Agreed...

My suggestion would be to make the whole knight slightly translucent like a ghost, and have the aura be whisps of himself trailing slightly behind - like you have a ghost of yourself following you =]

THAT would be cool, I want ghostly aura to make me a ghostly knight...

Please don't change it

This is one of the only accessories I would even consider buying, and that's because it is so subtle. It's called ghostly for a reason.

I support this topic. The ghostly aura should be more visible. My suggestion would be similar to previous statements as to add a tad more effect, tint it a deep purplish color, and perhaps have a slight ghostly trail.

Really does need a higher intensity. I've seen other players use it, and I wouldn't even notice the aura until I inspect them and find the accessory tag on their armour. Why pay 200-300K for something people won't notice?

"Hey, check out my new aura!"
"What aura?"
"... My Ghostly Aura?"
"..." *Inspects* "Oh! Yeah, very nice!"
"..." [/me facepalms.]

The above scenario isn't what we want happening to us when we bust out this much money for an entirely cosmetic item. We want instant recognition, not wait for them to inspect us to find out.
