Anyone else notice a change in the Red Doomed Aura?

    I noticed it on the Crown of Thorns Golem and thought it was a new aura at first. Then I noticed a player wearing it. Double checked one of my toons that has that aura and the orange part is definitely gone. Intentional?

    Yeah, the orange color is gone from the full aura, still remain on the modular red doomed auras.

    I noticed this as well. Was using the full red doomed aura on a fire based character because it looked like flame. Now, of course, it doesn't.

    I thought it looked different, totally ruined my Extremis Iron Man iconic style :(

    Devs, hope this is a temp issue and is going to be reverted back to original asap.

    Still looks the same to me in game...i see both shades just fine. Maybe its a PSN issue.

    I'm on a PC, so PSN wouldn't affect me.

    Ok I saw a person with the red doomed aura and it looked normal, but when I tried it on my character I saw the crazy difference. Maybe it appears correctly on me when other people look but when I look at my character I see something different.

    Yeah its full red now before it was an orange with a red.

    I don't see it normal on me, I don't see it normal on other players or Crown of Thorns Golem. Super weird. I wonder if it's not the aura itself but something else is distorting its appearance?

    A Dev reply on this would be good. Currently a little peeved that I can spend cash on the broker (having looked at the preview and decided that I like the look of the aura) only to have the appearance changed later without notification. Even worse if I opened time capsules to get the aura, checked a preview on the broker, then used the aura on a specific character because of that preview.

    For me it’s no different, however my ps4 friend, it does look different, he sent me a screenshot, looks exactly like what the thorn golem got going on

    I noticed the change too....but I thought it was maybe my imagination. Glad to know it's not just me seeing this.

    Ive done some testing and I have the answer. This change of the aura has impacted both PC and PSN players as far as I know. The male toons have been affected, as the female toons have not. I guess now I cant say that DCUO hasnt done anything exclusive for male toons. Lol

    Just checked, and yes, it looks like the aura I paid for if I check a broker preview on a female character. Let's hope they fix it, since the characters I bought it for were both male.

    We can also officially announce that the Thorn Golem identifies as male. Lol

    After all this time did it go back to normal for you guys? Still not flames for me.

    It was still broken last night.

    This was all a secret plot to get you to spend tons of money on the Broker buying Scorching Auras for those characters! ;)

    I probably wouldn't, even if there were any on the broker. Too worried that I'd buy one, and they'd change the colour. ;)
