Blue NPCs
Hey, I noticed on one of the pics you just uploaded that the ghost had a blue aura around him, kinda like Monk Bosses do. Are you getting that around a lot of the NPCs since the Oct 20th update? I'm curious because I know since that update that I've had that aura around all the henchmen and lots of other NPCs when I've been in towns. --Rainith 02:26, 27 October 2005 (EST)
 * Yeah, NPCs in mission areas have that blue aura for me now. Interestingly enough, none of the bosses have auras for me, so I was thinking maybe this was testing a new way of doing the auras that would work with other graphics cards. --Tometheus 02:36, 27 October 2005 (EST)
 * Hmmm, I still have the auras on the bosses and now that I think about it, I think it is only in the mission areas that I'm getting the auras on NPCs. My guess is it is an issue with our graphics cards.  I'll have to check to make sure I have the latest drivers tonight and see if that fixes it.  --Rainith 02:40, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * Same here, looks a bit like in PvP with your team having the same colour, I think that's what they wanted Skuld &Dagger; 02:45, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * Well, I never had auras for bosses, so what I meant was that they might be using two different methods for creating auras.... testing the new one on the NPCs to see if it works with the older cards like mine while still using the older method on bosses. --Tometheus 02:53, 27 October 2005 (EST)


 * I'm getting this aura for the Xunlari Agents and the NPCs in mission areas that will talk to you about that mission also. I don't know if that makes sense if they're trying to get it more like PvP.  I don't know what they can do combat wise, but I don't know that I want a Xunlari Agent on my team.  Strangely enough it doesn't appear around the merchants.  --Rainith 03:02, 27 October 2005 (EST)
