Player2

On mine, the only thing I do with the experimental graphics settings enabled is to set outlines on (at the minimal setting). No oversaturation or posterization of colors, no cel lighting... just outlines, because it makes it feel just a little more like a comic book style without changing everything too much from what I'm used to.

I too have a Holiday Rage (or Torchbearer). Mine is a Street Justice / Radiation Armor brute.

Dreamstrike Psionic Melee / Bio Armor

Air Control (sorta).

Play what's fun. All the powers are powerful. Are some better? Yes. Will that hurt your fun? Probably not. Will they ever get "fixed" to be brought in line with other powers? Maybe... but you shouldn't wait until then to have fun. The people who are looking at the "better" options are trying to squeeze as much performance as they can into their builds because fun for some people is being "best" while fun for others is being "what you envision in your character."

An interesting meeting in Pocket D...

Thoughtstorm also has a few alternative costumes... a couple are even somewhat modest.

The steamy mist is extra steamy.

Knockers Savage Melee / Regeneration Scrapper The gloves... her fists are her knockers... because she'll knock you out. Weirdos.

Thoughtstorm Storm Summoning / Psychic Blast Defender It's difficult to match up the Lebeaux Thong with any tops because nothing meets at the right width on the back side. It's mostly good for skirts or belts that will mostly obscure that area. However, the Enforce belt option is a good for makeshift side straps to look like it holds it in place.

I wouldn't worry too much about frozen water everywhere. I'd be happy seeing the flurries and the grass textures replaced with snow textures... enough to say the city is getting dusted, but is being maintained enough with salted roads and sidewalks that it's not a hindrance, just a change of scenery.

Sooo many.

I've been hitting a lot of the new inspiration low level characters lately, so I figured I'd bring out some of my heavy hitters. Soulsword is level 43 Liberty Lass is level 38 and Uninhibited is level 37

Uninhibited Electric Control / Electric Affinity Controller

One of my original mains, this character actually predates COH as a pen & paper Marvel Super Heroes RPG character who used the name Miss America. That wasn't available in City of Heroes, and so Liberty Lass was adopted instead. Originally created during Issue 1, she was a Super Strength / Invulnerability Tanker (because shields weren't a thing yet). However, once shields were added, I repurposed her old build with a new name and costume and recreated Libby as a Martial Arts/Shield Scrapper. Since Homecoming, I brought her back as a brute with street justice primary as a remembrance of her tankier days. Liberty Lass Street Justice / Shield Brute Original Costume New Costume ...with Shield

Soulsword Katana / Willpower Scrapper Think along the lines of Nemesis from Greek mythology...

@AzureAngel inspired me with that amazing zombies MM.

I would change her backstory to the parents having three adopted children... the tier 1 pets can be those, the tier 2 pets can be Mommy and Daddy, and the tier 3 pet could be the psychologist.

And wow, Biological Daughter is terrifying. I wonder who her subsequent pets will be.

Fightmare is a great name and I'm jealous that I didn't come up with it.

He truly is the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. 😉

Kid Nemesis Staff Fighting / Energy Aura Stalker

And inside missions and in AE, City Hall, the hospitals, and so on. But that's just flurries in the air. The request is for snowy ground in bases (and it would be nice to see snow on the ground in other zones).
