A Suggestion Concerning The New Auras

As we all know, the new auras are horrible. They probably was not even supposed to look like this. What if we finally got an option to choose something considering our view? Would it be possible for us to get an option to decide whether we use the new auras (after they are fixed) or the old auras? For example from the settings? I know the auras are bugged but i don't even like the look or idea of the new auras whether they were fixed or not, i wan't to use the old ones, i love the way they look and were.

PLEASE GIVE US AN OPTION TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES WE USE CAUSE MORE THAN 50% DOES NOT EVEN LIKE THE NEW AURAS

If you agree, PLEASE consider sharing this one. An upvote would be appeciated a lot too, maybe we could make this happen guys!?

I really think it would be a great solution and everyone would love it since we would have the option to choose the style of the auras..

😳

    Everyone hates the new auras. Can we make a petition to get the old ones back? haha

    At least having the option to choose would be nice.

    One of the things that makes this so bad is that auras partially disappear if there isn't an obstacle in your way as they act like an aura brightness filter making them even harder to see if you have clear line of sight without anything in your path.

    It's been 2 days since this misery was unleashed upon the community and no confirmation as to weather this is an intended shadow nerf or a bug that needs it's numbers tweaked for aura size, brightness and consistency to be increased

    Well first of all, we will not be getting back the old auras as they were causing other bugs with the way they were implemented (see patch notes). And I think more people would prefer (and be beneficial to) have an option to change the default aura color in the settings, so you would be able to change it from red to blue or green, for example. That would solve pretty much all the gripes that colorblind people have with this game without giving people without colorblindness any advantage since auras are supposed to be visible. Increasing the opacity/brightness of the auras would also go along way.

    This wasn't a bug or a shadow nerf, the devs just didn't think the new auras would be received so poorly. If you play on a bigger monitor with good color reproduction and/or pixel density (1440p or higher) you are still able to see auras well enough but since most players don't have 27"+ monitors it's quite bad for most of us (especially for people that play on laptops). They already been "bombarded" by everyone about them so they are making some changes to them (but didn't specify what kind of changes) that will be introduced in an upcoming hot-fix patch.

    Well I wanna say the new auras are horrible, I hope they make the auras like before, now I can't see anything if im playing as a killer (before it was pretty hard to play as a killer cause the matchmarking but now is even worse xD)

    I just meant that if there would be the option to choose which ones we use cause some people likes the idea of the new auras while on the other hand some of us hate them. I'd be glad to take the option to choose or have the old ones back instead of having a new killer. The whole point of this was that if we got an option to choose, and raise this idea so the devs would really do something real about it instead of poor hotfixes. Usually everything is fixable.

    So balance should be based around one killer? And not a widely used one at that
