Where do one enable the minor/no fx option and which powersets is it that allow for it?

Bah. And here i had hoped to get rid of the ice-cube look on my ice tank and the black glob look on my /DA scrapper. Oh well. Mebbe in the future

His most recent posts on the subject said that MOST defense sets (Fire, Ice, Elec, and thorns were all NOT on the list) would be getting "No FX" options for all click and toggle powers, BUT all powers with a "No FX" option will revert to default while you are in a PvP zone or Arena Map, regardless of what customization they may or may not have.

From what I've heard, if you set Ice Armor to use the darkest blue, it becomes barely visible. For DA, as Aggelakis said, BAB is working on a theme which will keep the VFX but wont turn you character invisible.

This is what I did on my Ice Tank.

Not really a way around the fluffball, but you yourself will be visible, under the "fluff". I really like the possibility that you might be a black silhouette instead of transparent. (A third option)

Not quite.

Emphasis mine. "Using that theme", not "with that theme available".
