So back when I played on live servers, I've always noticed this ear ringing drone on the main menu. While the song was always amazing and still brings back memories, it hurts to people who have the proper audio peripherals or even ears to hear it. There's a drone at about 15732.01Hz that is completely piercing through the mix of the song. Almost similar to that beep/drone coming from an old CRT TV. It's a very high frequency that some people actually get tinnitus from and start hearing when in absolute silence, since it was around us all the time with CRTs. This seems to be officially called a "Flyback Whine" and is said to be "In television sets, this high frequency is about 15 kilohertz (15.625 kHz for PAL, 15.734 kHz for NTSC)" The whine coming from CoH seems to be this exact scenario. Weird since it's a recording and .ogg file and shouldn't include NTSC Flyback Whine, but maybe they had trouble when recording the track for City of Heroes. I have attached an image of the peaking frequency and I've personally adjusted the .ogg file to cut out that frequency. I received the original .ogg from this website: https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Music Attachements; 1) Image of Frequency 2) Original Song 3) Fixed Song The file size is larger because I exported at a higher quality, even though the audio doesn't provide that quality, this is mainly to preserve all of the original.

In the description of Positron Cell within Atomic Manipulation, the last part should read as "Damage: Moderate,"*

So after fiddling around with both of your replies. Default colors on Flash Freeze does fix it. Sadly I won't be able to keep my character as uniform as I wanted, so hopefully that gets patched. For Darkest Night, I was using Soul Noir since it looked really nice. After switching it to Color Tintable, it fixed the audio. Soul Noir seems to be bugged on Darkest Night. In short, well at least I can hear and see my abilities now. I just really want to be able to color my powers. It's still a bug that should be fixed hopefully in a later patch. Thank you guys so much!

At the bottom of the post are two videos to both bugs being reported. Today I finally unlocked Flash Freeze in the Ice Control Powerset and was upset when I realized it didn't do anything. The mechanics work, but the visuals appear then disappear rapidly. They just kinda sit there doing nothing. Darkest Night in the Darkness Affinity Powerset does not have any sounds. When you use it, it'll just do the visuals. There doesn't seem to be any weird circumstances where it does work. It seems to just always be bugged.

Using Color Tintable will bug out the visuals. To fix Darkest Night, switch it from Soul Noir, to Color Tintable. This for some reason, will fix the audio.

More powers! Color wheel! Balance! Also, would love a customizable archetype. I’d just really love to see more unique ideas and customization.
