Make Snow Storm more "Visibly" Friendly
take advantage of the power customization. use a costume slot and change the color for when on teams.

Blaster. Cold APP. Not customizable at this time.
Edit: That said, any change to the power has to also be visible enough (in both anchor and radius) and thematic. I've been blinded by it myself (sometimes on my own character with it.) Thinning it out a bit would probably be enough.

I got to thinking about this while being on this morning with my level 48 Ice/Ice Blaster with Cold Mastery for her Ancillary Powerset. I picked up Snow Storm as one toggle power that I thought would be helpful in slowing down the enemies. So far it has worked like it should but while in team play, I have gotten a few "I can't see anything because the snow storm is so blinding white" replies. This has happened a few times so far while in team play. Though, no one has told me to turn it off, I almost feel somewhat guilty every time I would use it in team play. I say team play because when I do use it solo, I really have no issues with it other than it is blinding white and does somewhat hinder your vision a bit.
My thinking would be why have a power that would "hinder" your teammates visibility even though it is meant to slow down your foes attack and movement speeds? It would almost make someone not want to use it in team play. Maybe make it so it still does what it is intended to do by slowing down your enemies attack and movement speeds but make it less "white blinding" and maybe more transparent so and to not hinder your teammates being able to see the action and what's coming at them?
