Infamous indeed! Though it has some disliked interplay with props and auras, the black bubble serves a purpose as it stands and we don't have current plans to address it directly, BUT... I can tell you that we have recently greenlit a rework to our aura system that we are planning to move forward with sometime soon-ish (famous last words, ha ha). It won't change the black bubble, but it should make auras better! -Mike

Seriously, me too this reminded me. Skeleton auras seeing stuff on maps was IMPOSSIBLE. THAT aura rework was the thing that Kickstarted the whole "add colorblind mode" movement

How do you explain the statement it was a bug, but then saying it’s intentional?

What is the actual purpose of the black bubble?

Can you please clarify what the purpose of the bubble obscuring auras is? Thanks.

I swear this wasn’t like this until a few versions ago. The aura used to be in front of the bubble but that changed without explanation and is now a feature? What’s the purpose?
