So I am using the Poly Luminiscent refractor black and was very happy with it… Until I realized that only I can see it for most of the time, whenever other players aim at me the aura disappears… Is that a bug? Is it their settings? Can I force-enable it at all times, even when people target my char?

This has been bugging me

Thanks to whoever can enlighten me a bit on this issue

It’s not disappearing. It’s competing with the ‘highlight’ that happens to any ‘object’ that you target. Some auras are more noticeable than others and less subject to variation due to this. I’m not aware of an option that turns this effect ‘off’.

That said, there’s even more variation due to each individual’s graphic settings. Find a friend with the same aura as you and try experimenting with re-tuning your settings to see what happens; you’ll probably be surprised at the differences.

I see… Yeah, I’ve been doing that with my brother and with other people I run dungeons with… if they target me the aura completely disappears… Ghostly infusion and othe auras don’t get much affected though… Too bad it only happens with Poly :’/

Well, you can think of it as everyone getting a ‘free’ aura that shows only when you target them.
