Please remove the transparency effect from Darkness Affinity/Fade

[Trickshooter]

Fade is a great power, but its transparency effect is problematic for two reasons:

 

1) It suggests that it's granting stealth, when it doesn't. I think it may be the only power that grants transparency without stealth or intangibility.

 

2) It doesn't seem to play nice with many people's systems. It is pretty much 60 seconds of annoyingly rapid flickering on anyone who gets the buff.

 

The glowing eye effect can stay, and maybe some other VFX to let you know it's still going, but please remove the transparency, if possible!

I think the transparency effect is a relic of the power's original nature--it was originally group intangibility, which a lot of players found annoying because it meant that if the Controller panicked, suddenly everyone found themselves intangible and unable to hit anything.

 

Since it no longer actually is intangibility, I agree--that transparency effect should go.

I do agree. The transparency needs to go bye bye since it does not grant any transparency. It confused me when I was trying to lead an NPC out of a mission, I kept thinking the NPC couldn't see me. Finally I had to look and see what was on me just to find it was only fade. I like the darkness effect and the eyes though.

 

P.S. it does not affect my system though.

Misleading visual effect is misleading.

And the flicker is obnoxious.

PLEASE adjust the graphical anomalies with this skill, it's a great buff, but I just got it and I am remiss to even cast it in this state.
