Translucency Slider...

...for Power Customization; some powers kill visibility (for self and others) no matter what colors you decide to use.

A transparency slider would allow players to keep their choice of colors while keeping distractions and annoyances down to a minimum.

Either allowing for this at the Tailor Screen as part of Power Customization or under the Menu > Options > Graphics; as an FX slider.

I believe the more troublesome powers do have a "No FX" option.

Even if that's true, it would be nice to have it as a graphics option for team mates who don't realize/don't care their customization is intrusive, like when some one has a big purple or green dispersion bubble.

i think hes talking for certain color combinations like dark blue/dark blue ice powers are near invisible even when you want to see them

I'd want to see a translucency slider for completely the opposite reason - almost any power you give a Dark secondary colour to in both colour slots ends up almost fully transparent against most backgrounds. I wanted a deep blue Energy Blast, and I tried giving it a Bright blue theme, only a Bright primary colour is just as transparent. It ends up looking like I'm shooting out blue cellophane. The only way to make a power solid is to go Bright white or Dark black. Anything else WILL be highly transparent against a variety of backgrounds.

Being able to make my powers both the colour I want AND the transparency I want would be ideal.

Have already tried that and it's limited to proximity and (I think) only affects other players powers to your vision.

If it's your power, then you're stuck with the visibility issues that some sets bring; like Storms, Fire Control and other sets that use a lot of duration/toggle AoEs. Even some of the Melee set armors can be a bit much.
