I've tried a cursor pack generated by Ruff Tuff n Buff.

It's a "little" better. But it's still STUPIDLY easy to lose your cursor in screen wash.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Windows has an option to help.
Search control panel for "cursor" or "mouse properties" and it should show the result "make it easier to see the mouse pointer" which will allow you a few options, including one that makes a ring appear around the cursor in a flash when "ctrl" is released.
That should help.
What would really help is if the game let you increase the cursor size. Seriously. Supposedly, the little up and down triangles in the targeting window are there to show level difference for people who are color blind. They gave us that but no ability to enlarge the cursor???

I sometimes lose sight of my cursor too, even when solo if I'm in the middle of a large group of enemies. I SWEAR it jumps around, or disappears and reappears in a different location, or briefly turns invisible, or something like that.

It changes color depending on what you mouse over. with an already multicolored flashing screen, that just makes it easy to lose it.|

It would probably be better if it stayed one color and just changed shape for certain things.
The best option would be to reduce the complete overload of effects in the game though, but that won't happen as it would require likely reducing the amount of powers available and reducing the amount of clicks and toggles in favor of auto powers.
Happens to me all the time, and I as well wish they would have some kind of color/resize option for the cursor. Now one thing I do when I know I'm going to be on an itrial is lower my graphics to the bar minimum. This helps reduce the lag, frame rate and the cursor going rogue.
NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.
I too have this problem since day 1 have sent in several tickets,and postings,i'm aolder player and eyes are starting to show the years of computer strain.
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVMENT!!!!!!!!

We all know that large teams, itrials, TF's and large events (main events, MSR and Hami) are very busy places. Often you cant see yourself for the sheer amount of various powers blasting an enemy, all in different colours, plus auras, plus the enemies attacks and all the on screen messages.
Often I have no problem with this, but occasionally I lose sight of my cursor amid the chaos. I just cant for the life of me see it, or track where it is on my screen. As a power clicker (I use my cursor to click powers rather than macros or number keys), losing sight of my cursor can mean a drop in DPS, or even worse, I dont heal a toon in time to save him from faceplanting.
Is there a way you could add an option to increase the size of the cursor, change its colour to something brighter or more eye catching or have a button that highlights it for you (a option with Windows)?
Thanks!
