MirrorDarkly Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Late in the beta for the last release the Storm Blast powers Storm Cell and Cat 5 were changed so that you could set the color of the lightning to be different from the color of the storm. Is it possible to do the same for the Thunderhead costume aura? I have wanted to use it on several characters but always end up frustrated that the cloud color and the lighting color are the same and usually one ends up looking bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think auras work off of the same system as powers, even if some of the effects look similar - AFAIK, all auras only accept 1 color. Compare the leaves aura to how you can color the nature powers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's not difficult it would make that aura in particular many times more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fabulous Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 My guess, and it's just a guess, is that because auras are part of the costume system they are fundamentally different than power VFX. This means the second color has to be transparent, leaving only one color for us to customize. It's the same reason things like "Tops With Skin" only gets one customizable color -- the 2nd color needs to be transparent to allow the skin to show thru. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, though, would be that the most likely implementation would be one where the clouds are a generic grey/white and only the lightning takes the color you select - they can "bake in" other colors to get around the limitation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be fine with that. But if that is the case and if it's even seen as a reasonable project by the devs it should be added as new aura so that people who are using the existing one still can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saiyajinzoningen Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The devs have said that there are particle limits that must not be exceeded. Its easy to criticize a suggestion but can you suggest an alternative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
