    You go through the trouble of completing every hard map on the server and you get an aura that makes you a stinky head. I heard that it was from an old Halloween event which makes sense, but I'd like if a cool new aura for accomplishing that achievement was created that wasn't so gross. Perhaps an all black aura that shimmers? I don't know take creative liberties if you want. Thanks for reading. ( ˙͜>˙)

    A cosmetic item that creates a visual atmosphere around the player.

    I wasn't aware the Halloween aura was awarded for beating the Hard Server maps, agreed it should be kept for Halloween really, and either an additional one added for the Hard Server, or Pestillence changed as clearly it's not the most favourite aura.

    It was mostly a placeholder Aura as we didn't expect anyone to churn through the maps so soon. Is there any particular style players would like to see?

    Most auras are a solid color and you've gone through most of them, but obviously with the stinky head aura you can also add some effect. So my suggestion would be perhaps a solid color with some dope effect. Like a cyan aura with yellow coursing through in lines. I don't know the limitations so I'm spitballing here, but something like that would be fantastic imo. :>

    So to confirm currently we have:

    Red: Demonic
    Purple/Pink: <3 Glow
    Pale Green: Radioactive
    Aqua Green: Minty
    Multicoloured: Rainbow
    Gold: Golden
    Blue: Chill
    Purple: Purple Groove
    Blue/White: Skywards Aura

    Some options are Orange, Brown or Dark Blue. Perhaps another multicoloured one, Skywards is a decent aura, something like orange/white or even blue/yellow like suggested above, could be interesting but it's hard to tell till you see them created.

    To be honest pick a color and slap an effect on it and it should come out better than the Halloween one ( ˙͜>˙)
    I like the idea of cyan and yellow, not sure how I feel about dark colors I feel like they'll just look gross.

    I think everyone likes the idea of some sort of black aura variation.

    Unfortunately due to how the colour system works, black isn't possible.

    Yeah lighter over darker is generally better, even Demonic is a fairly light Orange/Red colour. Another Skyward sounds like best bet, going for a combination of 2 colours and seeing how they turn out sounds best, even if a bit of trial and error.

    Specifying a bit more on OP, I don't dislike the effect used with Pestillence; instead, I disliked the color scheme. I think having a unique effect like that would be very awesome and motivating to beat the hard maps. It should be a tad more than just two colors like the rest of the auras due to the exclusive nature of the aura itself. Furthermore, as far as colors go I enjoy these combinations the most:
    • Cyan and Yellow
    • Purple and Yellow
    • Red and White
    And my personal favorite:
    • Light Brown and Cyan
    Others feel free to comment color combinations you'd like to work towards!

    Some work being done on this currently so hasn't been forgotten about, I think those who've earned it will be happy with it!
