The Omega aura has never looked like this, not on Live. I've been using Omega on a character pretty much since the pack which contained it came out concurrently with Going Rogue and Omega never stayed behind like this when you ran. I'm not sure what your friend is using or if that's just a bugged version of it, but it was never like this.

I could be wrong, but that kind of looks like the Smoldering aura. Could we get a shot of what it looks like standing still to compare?
I vaguely recall that the Omega Aura changed at some point, but I thought it was on Beta at the time. I could be wrong since I cannot put my hands on the post about it.

That's what I wanted to say, but I couldn't remember the name of the aura. Yes, that looks like the Smouldering aura.

The aura shown in the screenies not smoldering aura. Smoldering has more of a graphic that covers the body, this one is sort of coming off of the body (similar to glowing aura). But here is the screenie I took with her standing still
http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/...8-21-33-29.jpg
She said it definitly had something to do with beta, she put the aura on and saved it, SOMEHOW brought it to live (or if Omega was like this in live for a little while) and never changed it.

Looks like Toxic Vapor to me. I think.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
If you look at the moving screenshot, it isnt toxic vapor, I saw it myself it looks nothing like the auras currently available
Blue Sucks and he no's it heh hehehehe, any way Blue is my buddy, he does not lie or anything so I believe him. I never really use Omega Aura at first, so i am not so sure how they change it.
These days I use Bio plasma For a replacement for Fire type of Aura. There are indeed people who has Costume Parts in this game that got replace, remove or change over the years that still unchanged on there toon.
So Yeah I believe his friend has an old Aura of Omega Aura on her toon it's is possible.

I believe that might have been what happened. The post is intened to bring this aura back into the game. When I saw it (And other around me when we saw it) I loved that aura and I really want to wonder why it was taken out. It looks pretty arcane like and almost ghost like. Its a nice aura without a doubt and well made. Whether it replaces the Omega aura NOW, or they add it back in as a new aura either way would be awesome.

Looks like a path aura to me.

- Nobody's accusing him of lying. But this is apparently the first anyone's heard of an "old" Omega aura, so people are trying to solve the mystery. People who "don't lie or anything" can still make mistakes and/or get incorrect information from others.
- Yes, old costume parts sometimes get replaced (see: Gladiator shoulder piece), and the old versions persist on characters/costumes that already have them until they go into the costume editor and it "finds" the new piece instead of the old one. But again, this is the first I (or, indeed, a number of other people who have responded to this topic) have ever heard of that happening with this particular piece.
- Is English your first language?

- The indicator in the code points to "Omega aura" (however that's indicated -- a numerical code, most likely) so the editor will pull up the piece it has that matches that indicator: the current version.
- The indicator in the code points to an old version of the piece which the costume editor won't "find" (they're no longer a part of the editor), so it will give the "hey, we can't find that item; you may not have access to it. Do you want to attempt a fix?" prompt in the load screen (like when you try to load a costume with a cape or aura on a character that doesn't have those unlocked) and would never let you load it up with "bad" pieces in the first place.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Generally speaking, "legacy" pieces only stick around on characters who were already using the piece before it was changed. If you try to load up a costume file which points to a costume piece the player has no access to, the editor will list the costume as invalid and refuse to load it. If you tell the editor to fix the problem, it'll default the costume piece to whatever's first in the list of its category, thus removing the errant piece. In the case of auras (such as when trying to load a costume using an aura you have not yet unlocked), the editor will simply disable auras entirely.
Again, I'm not sure what this is or how it got to Live, mostly because the screenshots are kind of small with a lot of dead space around the character so it's hard to see, but the Omega aura never looked like this.
I'd suggest one of two things - either try to snag a screenshot in as high a resolution as your monitor will support then CROP it down to just the character, as opposed to resizing it, or otherwise download Fraps (it's free) and shoot a 30-second movie, then upload it to YouTube so we can see the aura in action. Maybe then someone will be able to identify it either as an existing one or as one they saw in Beta but never again.

A short clip will be attempted, will post it up when caught.
If you'll be logging back onto that character anyway, there could be another way to solve this; I think it's safe, but I'm not 100% sure:
Take the character to a tailor and open up the character editor. Check the name of the aura. You shouldn't lose the aura (whatever it is) unless you save the changes, so if it is an "old version," just back out instead of going ahead with it. Pretty sure I did that myself when they changed the Gladiator shoulders.
Seriously, though... someone either back me up or shoot me down before BlueFlameAvenger tries this. I don't want to be responsible for someone losing a costume piece they like permanently.

Yea I also have this aura. Ironically on an old widow just like that other post. I was wondering what it was and stumbled onto this post.
Yeah it was only available on SoAs I believe (omega and alpha), I hadn't tried it on a spider but I have costumes saved still that have the old alpha and omega on my NW.
Best way to describe omega's look was it had the features of the smoldering aura, but also had a "splash" effect like the volcanic aura --> but the splash is semi-transparent. The splash also reacts to movement, so turning your character or running makes the second effect flare up somewhat. It's hard to explain really, but I do know that the dark purple color chosen by the person in the screens do not do the aura justice at all: red was IMO the most dynamic choice, as the splash effect was orange and yellow in color.
Alpha on a NW was also crazy looking, it made the toon look like they were silouetted against a laser light show or something. Too bad the two were removed because they were interesting auras.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

Linky to the video I just took tonight. Crap quality I know. No iea how to make it HD or whatever >.> not an uploader and first ever uploaded
Hmm... I definitely don't remember ever seeing this aura, and now that I've seen it in action, it looks pretty good. I am now in support of your suggestion to include it in the game.

Recently I was talking to a friend, and she showed me a costume with an awesome aura. Apparently the omega aura NOW is not how it always was according to her. She explained that she had this on the costume currently weing worn, and NEVER changed the costume so the aura would stick. I took some screenies of the aura and here they are! This version of Omega is SO much better than the current Omega. So basically, I think that the Paragon Studios developers/whoever is in charge of costume design (auras included) should replace the current Omega with the one shows below
