Water Blast powerset!

Just a quick few thoughts on Water Blast powerset.
I really think that overall this set offers some great fun and plenty of effectiveness, even the sounds are really enticing. However do any of you feel like me that the visuals are less than even good? To me even while using Ultra settings it looks more like 'grainy wind' than actual water :/ Of course I still have a brain and can piece together what the devs. attempted to create and pretend it looks like water but it doesn't really.
Again, I think that all aspects of this new set are plentiful and great except the visuals. I'm only attempting to create some dialogue to see if I'm alone or to create momentum for future updates of higher caliber.

Note: The water inside zones and missions looks exceptional in Ultra Mode. I love the way Founders Falls water looks the most, from the air especially!

The Water Blast effects are freakin' phenomenal, I don't know what you're talking about.

How is this a technical issue or bug? It seems like an opinion and request for discussion.

And have to agree, the set effects for this are gorgeous and look very watery.

i really enjoy all aspects of the WB set. animations and all.
the WB set made me enjoy the game again. i havent enjoyed a powerset like this in a long time.
the last time i remember enjoying a powerset this good was when electric came out for tanks and brutes

I just recently came across a bug with my water/ice blaster. My power colors on one of my costume slots keep reverting to all white even after I've used 3 free tailor tokens & spent some influence at Icon. And now it looks like my other costumes power colors are changing as well

To my surprise, I kinda agree with the OP on this one. I know that water is incredibly difficult to simulate correctly, and the devs got it pretty dang close, but it just doesn't quite look right to me. I can say 'close enough' and tolerate it, but it just doesn't flow or splash quite right to make me believe it's water.
Thank god for the re-coloring tool.

Umm.. yeah maybe it's the wrong place.
Umm.. also I'm really a fan of it and think it's also a very worthy set. I thought that was clear from the start.
So some of you don't see the clear difference between water effects in zone (ultra settings*) and the "grainy wind" look to the Water Powerset!? The zones water in certain places looks exceptional by any gaming standard of 2012. Our new powerset does not. At least for me.
Again, it's doable visually for me and yes, I'd even say phenominal in effectiveness.

I'm always in SG mode but my power colors got wacky after I unlocked my level 20 costume slot. Every time I go to Icon or a trainer to try to change them, my primary are all red & my secondary are all white in the costume creator. When I exit, they're all white. Exiting SG mode doesn't change it.
