ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Divine Aura

I think the aura should look more aesthetically cooler, something more than just some sparkling hand gestures. For instance, we should have some special emote e.g projecting godrays on oneself when we type something like /divine? or we could have a similar aura like bosses do, the difference is that we should have to ability to turn it off/on

Don't think so. I have the current Divine Aura and I'm very happy with how subtle it is; it's a reward that's there for those who know it is, but other people don't notice it so easily in a full outpost. IMO, the Collector's Edition emote for Dervishes and Paragons (which I also have, so this isn't a matter of "what I have vs what I don't have") is too flashy, polluting the screen for players who couldn't care less about it. Something like the Divine Aura, an effect that only appears when doing a few actions and is restricted to the character, would be far better, IMO, than something so flamboyant as the bosses' aura.

• My old Guild Wars 2 CE suggestions: I think it would be really cool to have something a little different then divine aura which is great but at times I wished there were a switch for(taking screen shots for example). I was thinking something almost similar to the /rank effect in GW 1 where you could type your special /emote and your entire character would suddenly have a burst of light emitted from them or a cool all over glowing effect(color of your choosing). Another idea would be when you did your /emote a ray of light would come from the sky and illuminate you and a burst of fire or ice would ripple from you and a shadow of a god would appear or you could morph for a brief time(again depending on class or maybe characters choice) but the /emote idea(/aura on /aura off) is something I would like a lot and if thats out of the question I really liked the para and derv aura's they are bigger brighter and more exciting --O Frost O 15:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
