Constant aura

Hello all. I encountered something which is really annoying, but not affecting gameplay; My level 49 Ice/Dark corruptor has an annoying aura that is not part of the costume and not the effect of a power. I have noticed this aura since around level 45 - 46. The aura looks like green/white whispy tendrils and covers her from head to foot. I have turned off all of my powers and even went to a tailor and confirmed that my costume has no auras. I cannot figure out why my character is emitting this aura, but it is really annoying, because it makes me think of a big, stink-cloud :P

Probably a temporary power from a story arc, although I can't think of which one it might be off the top of my head. From the sound of it, it might be the Regeneraton Increase from the 45-50 Mayhem (or Safeguard, if you're a heroic Corruptor), but I forget what that looks like. Try checking the buff icons located underneath your HP/end/XP window.

Hrm... as far as I know, all of the Mayhem/Safeguard temporary buff powers had their visual effects removed several Issues (years?) ago.

Not sure about some other mission arc power though...

It may not help any, but I am curious... does it go away if you toggle WALK on?

I'm interested to see this as well. A screenshot of it would be great.

[Holiday Spirit] is an auto power that still grants XP Debt protection and an Aura. Newer versions expire in real time, but the original version was mistakenly game time(13+ days worth!). I have a couple toons that still have the aura years after the initial use.

The movement speed increase still puts little green rings on your legs and arms. Not sure on the others. But I'm with Red V. sounds just like the base enhancement station aura. I am quite familiar with it because I am addicted to the -kb buff. =)

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Thank you for the replies.

And thank you, Electric-Knight, for at least a temporary solution. I login and see the stinky-cloud tendril aura. Turning on Walk, turns OFF the aura and it stays off when I de-toggle Walk. However, if I logout and log in again, the aura is still there, but at least, turning on/off Walk seems to dispel it.

I have checked the buff icons located underneath the HP/end/XP window and the only thing that I can think of that might be "new" is the Invader accolade.

Although I have been using the base empowerment buffs recently (last 2 weeks or so), I noticed this aura before discovering the empowerment buffs.

Shouldn't be invader, as that's perma.

It sort of sounds like the old aura for the Mayhem/Safeguard debt protection power, but i always delete that power as soon as i get it, so i haven't really seen it in a long time.

Silly Devs, creating a power that slows down getting certain badges at a point in a character's career where it's not likely to be useful for long at all even if it was desired.

I really like the little green rings. Kind of wish it was an aura option.


Enjoy your day please.

Whatever it was, it appears to be gone now. I logged in today and no more stinky-cloud-looking aura.

Wednesday is bath day!

Hehe, glad it is gone and I'm glad I managed to help a bit!

Also... I didn't even think of Empowerment Buffs! Good thinking, everyone... I just wonder why you got stuck with it!
Maybe you just need to change your spandex more often!!
