Hey Folks, with the release of more aura effects like the Devourer Aura, Flower trail and the upcoming Eclipse halos we have been working on expanding out the aura slot to include more interesting effects and clean up some of the issues that had been causing the aura slot trouble.

Recently we made an update so that auras are no longer hidden on animation, this was a legacy restriction we had in place as aura's generally only affected the hands and in some cases weapons. This is why you can now see your auras while doing emotes etc and it has been a great boon to the fluidity of different auras and effects but we are also actively monitoring for any issues arising from this change.

Right now we are aware that this impacts the flaming sword enhancement and the yellow glow on certain weapons when using activated auras like the jack of trades/lumberjack etc and we are looking to address these specific issues in the future with more targeted resolutions instead of sweeping changes that impact all auras.

This will take some time as it is likely how these specific auras function will need to be updated to not clash with the system as a whole.
