I wasn't sure where else to put this, but I've been noticing that a number of the visual FX that accompanied the original dice packs (Aura, Magical Trails, Force Field, et cetera) have been adversely affected with the most recent update.
This is most prominently seen across a wide spread of the Lightning-element dice, whose visual effects are now far less prominent. But this issue is also present in select Shadow-element dice, and when using REALLY dark colours with the "Force Field - Spinning" dice set. In the latter case, choosing to colour your dice jet black causes the visual FX to vanish entirely. I suspect this is also what is causing the effects of the Lightning/Shadow dice to be so recessive. If many of the alpha values of special/particle effects are now tied to the colour on the face of the die, those darker dice may have had their flashy visual effects accidentally nerfed.
Of particular note (only because it was my personal favourite :o) is the "Ring of Elements - Shadow" dice set. This dice set still has a prominent emanating shadow projected around the die, but the ring of purple magical runes are no longer visible. I'm not sure if this is because those runes were recoloured black, and became indistinguishable from the emanating shadow around the die, or if the alpha level of those runes has dropped to zero. Either way, I'd like to politely request that my little black babies be returned to their original glory. :p
