I would rather they just add a minimal FX version to Energy Aura's customization.|

Because of this power at times it feels pointless to have spent the time I do on a character's costume i can only see when i first log in, Die, or at the character select screen.

Unsuppressed Stealth has kinda been EA's thing, I don't care to see the mechanics change when the issue you don't like can be changed with a non-gameplay altering addition to power customization.
@Oathbound & @Oathbound Too
What he's asking for isn't a suppression to the mechanical effect, just the cosmetic part of the power.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
That's not stealth suppression, it's a copy of the "No Fade or Pulse" option that Cloak of Shadows gets. Stealth suppression is where you lose your stealth effect and enemies who couldn't see you before can see you now.
I'm all for a "No Fade" option for ALL stealth powers in the game. The partial transparency is irritating in the cases where I don't want it.

I'll /sign this. Especially for Energy Cloak, though - it's currently the worst offender. If I want to play as a silhouette, I would have rolled a Stalker in the first place! Let me see my character!

If they combined this with having Stealth powers no longer be exclusive with the costume code powers (Carnie Harlequin and such) I could finally play my shape-shifting Energy Aura toon properly instead of having to drop a source of defense every time I want to use a costume power.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Came in here to let you know that Dark Armor doesn't suppress its stealth and can still hold aggro, was pleasantly surprised to find that you only meant the invisible costume effect, then read this comment and spewed Mountain Dew all over my monitor, keyboard, desk clock, and now unfriendly coworker..

If you can get the thread title changed as well, I think that would help.
Also, /SIGN+1

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Yah, i looked around in the editing option and sadly there is none, as you may have noticed in my attempts i changed the title of my opening post but the thread remains the same, so unless I repost it or a passing dev or mod happens to notice this post and does the dirty work for me its stuck.

Stalkers at least have the advantage of their stealth dropping in combat but EA you're just a mass of energy all the time just about.
