Curious Clouds...
Do a repair on your installation. On the NCLauncher, right click "City of Heroes" in the left list, and select "Repair (Consistency Check)". On the old updater (I don't know if it's possible to use the old updater anymore or not, I finally got rid of my installation because I managed to find settings that don't screw up my game), it's a button in the bottom right.

What's that incorrect image from? I don't recognize it.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Texture files look very odd when flattened. I'm not sure, but the metallic almost-circle reminds me of the "helmet" part of a Zenith Mekman's head.

Aw, I just thought my Stalker was so epic, that the mere act of him jumping created little bits of abstract art to appear in his wake. I'll do the repair, thank you for the advice!

Alright, I've discovered a strange little glitch tonight.

Server: Guardian
Character: Imreis Dascht
AT: Stalker (Dual Blades/ Regen) Level 50
Powers Active: Ninja Run, Sprint, and Steam Jump
Now I'm THINKING this is the Steam Jump causing the little problem here since it appeared to burst out from him when he jumped up, and then again when he landed. It came out like a circular motion, as if it was supposed to be a rolling dust cloud, accept instead of a dust cloud, it was this...
