More I12 info. Nice 
Looks very cool ive always kinda wanted to know the effects of my powers before choosing them. I wonder if we will be able to show power details everytime we level up and get a new power.

Does this by any chance include a fix to the wing colors + super group mode bug?

The kilts also have this bug

They are using the blue skin...it's clear the devs hate CoV.
I'm kidding!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks very coo...Su Pah Coo
I didn't even recognize some of those "themes...?" "Lowlander?" "Enforcer Light?"
i think this is a great feature! I've often wanted a generic look and then tried to deviate from it slightly. Love it!
Beta me! 
ZOMG! Real numbers in character creation! From the sound of it, I'll enjoy this feature immensely. I don't like searching the internet for scraps of information on powers, so I occasionally skip powers that, for all I know, might be very useful to me.
And the ability to grab all parts of a costume set at once will be very convenient too. I normally don't use a full set, but it will be easier to start with everything and remove what I don't like rather than search for parts of the combination to see what works.
Asn an unabashed costume (ryhmes with store), I am really excited about this. Also including the 'real numbers' during character creation will be a huge plus as well. I will admit it, I am REALLY excited now.

All looks good as far as QoL improvements go, now how about the ability to "organize" our character selection screen? (IE by name, level, origin, affiliation, etc)
Add one more to the I12 awesomeness list. It should even keep the PvP people happy for a couple of minutes.

Very nice. I like the numbers. Look forward to messing with those in-game and seeing how they are expanded upon in the future. Good stuff, though it might make a lot of guides a little less useful.

Looks great! Especially the powers stuffs.
I see steampunk in the list of costume sets. I wonder does this mean we finnaly get boots and gloves that match the pants and chest for that set O.O

V-Tron Elec/EM - V-Tron X EM/EA

I like the idea of being able to choose costume sets. The only downside I can see is that you might wind up running into more folks who look like you if you decide to just pick a set.
I have a question about some of the sets named in the screenshot. I notice that there are veteran sets like Samurai and Boxing on the list. What about sets like Greek? Will those sets appear on the list only if you have all parts of a costume. If I only have the Toga, will Greek even appear on the list?
Or, crosses fingers, does this mean that the Greek bits are being opened for everyone, since I didn't see Vanguard on the list? As far as I know, Greek and Vanguard are the only sets that you can get piecemeal at the moment.
New story arcs coming soon (ARC IDs will be aded when I finish the arc):
So, you want to join the Hellions? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Sparks & Steel (level 5-20 Heroic arc)
and
So you want to join the Skulls? (level 1-14 Villainous arc)
Wow. Character generation for those obsessed with the statistics, but completely lazy about costume design. It's like the anti-City of Heroes.

Don't we have gloves? Like, the super-big ones?
Boots, though. That'd be nice.
Looks great.
Do you think we could ever get the ability to save costumes? That would be the tops.

Last night I teamed with a guy from my supergroup I hadn't teamed with before, and we all were wearing the Stealth costume set in the exact same colors. That was really weird.

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
This looks like a number of great QoL additions to an already amazing tool. - And we won't even have to be in Closed beta to see it first! Awesome!

Wow! Schweet QoL changes! This is going to help in some decision making when all the new power sets come out. And it's going to speed up the characte creation mode a little more. It's obvious the devs are listening to suggestions brought up in the forums, cheers to them (shameless attempt for a beta invite!)
With Powerset Proliferation I was pumped up for I12 already. This (and any other features) are just extra gravy to indulge myself on. (shameless attempt for a beta invite!)
The devs are sexy. (shameless attempt for a beta invite!)

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
Yeah, this right here is awesome.
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Looks awesome.
Glad to see the activation time got included in the real numbers. You guys seem to be making more steps to counting that as part of balance every day.
The PvP effects toggle is a nice little bonus too.

Were they, by chance, your Supergroup colors?
