It is not just larger, but a different color than the default cursor.

I haven't lost my cursor at all since installing it.

Don't look at this as thread necromancy, look at it as a wakie inspiration!

Recently I've heard more complaints in the game about mouse cursors "hiding in plain sight," and it made me grateful for having Ruff-n-Buff's solution; but it made me realize that many people probably aren't aware a solution exists. As Christmas approaches and heroes and villains upgrade their computers and monitors, mouse cursors will get lost on bigger displays featuring better special effects. The larger mouse cursor mod has saved me a lot of frustration, and continues to save my characters butts, play session after play session.

So to prevent anyone having to dig around, I'll collect all of Buff's mods in one post, in reverse chronological order. His most recent (and probably most helpful) mod is listed first.

What I meant was, I have dug my heels into a dozen MMOs over the past fifteen years, and so I know by experience that people have it really good here.

But this is an MMO. So things are always breaking or broken. That is what MMOs are like. Big, exciting, frustrating works in progress. Your frustration can become like a magnifying glass, and you won't be able to see all the things that make it worth the while.

So don't get frustrated. I know how that sounds. But I used to do that, so I know. In the MMO space, it's a really bad idea to let yourself go there. You'll never be satisfiable. Only certifiable.

You might want to take a walk away for a few weeks or months, it can be healthy to do that with hobbies in any case. But that's different. That has to do with you, not the hobby necessarily.

I have been an MMO subscriber of one sort or another since November 1997. You guys think these are big problems? These aren't big problems.

This is a good game.

First post!!!

I've been keeping up with Avatea's thread for CCC for the past year and a half, ever since I stumbled upon it. If you like comics and good stories, and you're not keeping an eye on these, then you're really missing out. The "art direction" in some cases was an acquired taste. But I'm a big fan of these fan-made comics. I guess it's hard for you to know that if I never speak up about them or show my support.

Speaking of support, it would be nice if there was a way to donate money to the CoH Comic Index, as well as to individual authors. Most of these comics use the City of Heroes game engine, but artistry goes into the camera work, and the game engine certainly doesn't write all the amazing, creative, funny and dramatic stories I've read. Many of these stories have been exceptional labors of time and effort.

I would like to see more cross-pollination between fan-made comics and Architect Entertainment, because there's nothing like interacting with characters you've grown familiar with in another medium. Lots of interesting things could be done with this, such as having to play the series finale to see how a "print" story arc ends. Don't take this suggestion lightly. You can't do cool stuff like that with traditional comics!

I would also like to see people talking about comics they enjoyed. The Comic and Hero/Villain Culture forum is exactly for this purpose. I'm not suggesting that comic authors should be allowed to saturate it with advertisements. But if I enjoyed a CCC comic, there's no reason why I, as a reader, shouldn't open a new thread to tell other people about it, beg an author for loose ends, complain, compliment, and so on.

So does this mean we'll never get a crotch slider for guys?

Sup, Knight! Almost replied to you via PM, but this turned out to be more on-topic than my posts the day before yesterday.

First of all, I can say that honestly (I'm not sure I was fully conscious of this earlier), there was very much an agenda fueling my posts upstream.

Want to know why I was uncharacteristically brash? Here it is: I'm as passionate a fan of the comic book genre as I am about City of X; and to me, City of X finely distills that genre in the form of an interactive game--so much so, in fact, that in my mind there is little distinction between comic books and City of X, beyond its medium. Many people share my feelings, and many don't, but I know for a fact that I'm standing on the bulls-eye among Paragon Studio's target audience.

What this means is that I want City of X to share MORE similarities with the comic book genre with every update, not fewer similarities. David Nakayama's Gender Equality brainstorming thread has partly put me at ease, because it's clear in his comments (and especially in his work) that he is very interested in developing "a comic book inserted into an MMO", as War Witch describes it. That dismays some in the audience, but to me that description is AWESOME because I'm on the same page.

But what I hear a lot of people saying, roundabout as well as literally, is that the comic books are wrong, and that City of X should avoid following in the genre's tracks. People are asking Nakayama do to this for them. That sounds like a bad idea to me. It will make City of X less like the comic books, and more like some other kind of MMORPG. However, I do realize this leads to a problem, one that you quite accurately illustrated:
