Invulnerability Aura's

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums, but I used to play CoH years back. Did something happen to the appearance of some of the auras? The one I'm specifically referring to is the "Invincibility" toggle for the Invulnerability power set.

From what I remember, it used to be a very elaborate purple aura... and now nothing happens when I toggle it on. "Temp Invul" and "Unyielding" still look the same, at least to me, but I really miss the look of my tank with the original "Invincibility" aura toggled on with the other two.

I'm curious to know if this was a deliberate change... that way I can stop messing around with my video settings to make this "aura" reappear.

Thanks a bunch!

Can't recall specifics, but I do believe that one had different effects for villain vs hero ats.

Go into the tailor and customize the power to use the Dark Invulnerability option (power customization is another page of the tailor window).

I seem to recall it looking differently too (and having lots more color), but I can't tell if that's just because I still took unstoppable back in those days. If a change happenend, it was around i6 or so.

Ever since power customization came in Issue 16, the default graphics to Invincibility have been broken. When you activate the power, the activation animation and effects will play, but when they are done the visual effects will fade away and it will not look like Invincibility is toggled on at all, even though it is. However, a customized Invincibility will have the power's effects functioning properly again. I bugged this a looooong time ago, back when I16 was still in beta, but the last I heard was that the devs were 'aware of the issue'. Frustratingly, yet understandably, it is not high priority.

It's something that has driven me insane for a while now as someone whose main character's costume was designed around the default Invulnerability graphics.

Hey everyone.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm certainly glad to know that I'm not the only one noticing that issue... if it even is an issue.

I will definitely try out the customization method for the powers and see if I can revive the old look of my character.

Have fun folks.

Hahaha, I read your message just before I saw your forum name... then it clicked. I guess this old age of mine is starting to show!
