One quick question for the devs... Epic and Patron sets aren't mentioned. Are any of them customizable?

LOVE the difficulty setting change.
LOVE the power tinting.
Freaking LOVE all the powerset proliferation...how is BaBs still alive after all this work? SOmeone give him a large root beer and some donuts...

He (and the rest of the devs in general) are alive because they took a sort of break between issues 14 and 16, with 15 kind of.
Now understandable even more why 15 was so small.

Another lethal set that's almost a carbon copy of an existing Stalker set while everybody gets something completely different? Yeah I'd prefer Fire Melee for Stalkers. Even Ice Melee would do it.
I'm going to assume that, like powerset proliferation, this power customization is just the start. Sure, it sounds AWESOME, but it could be even awesome-er. I dream of the day when we can change any animation we want (within reason) and alter the particle effects of our blasts in addition to "just" the colors, etc..
As far as I can tell, the initial release of Power Customization was the real hard part. Past that, further customization is just busywork... assuming they actually KEEP most of their new employees after Going Rogue is released (unlike what they did with CoV, reducing down to a skeleton crew after release), then I can imagine some very neat things in the future.

I also notice that Poison isn't in the Customizable list. Should it be?

And let me be the first to rain on the parade: I hope there is an option in the graphics settings to turn off custom power FX and just show the standard ones.
Two reasons: I know I'm not the only one who won't care for pink dark melee and what not, and there are still a lot of people on slow connections who won't enjoy the increased lag from the extra data that will be sent to them when someone uses a customized power.

That's not raining on the parade Laz, that is a valid point for a lot of users, I wouldn'tbe surprised if they have worked up an option in graphics settings

I'm a sad panda that i didn't see the (V/H)EAT power sets aren't listed, especially for my Peacebringer =/
Another question -- will this level of power customization apply to Mission Architect critters, as well?

He'll find a fly in the ointment and make a beeline for it.
Professional complainers are not that easily discouraged.
The "extra data" would be pretty inconsequential even to a modem user running at 36K.
I'm against turning off seeing custom colors, too. People are forced to see what color my underpants are, there's no reason to hide any other parts of my costume. Can you disable my pink assault rifle? My cape?

I'll all FOR being able to disable it.
I shouldn't be able to see your hot pink blasts if I don't want to.

I couldn't help but give a squee...
This is so awesome.
I'm giddy!
EDIT:
I'm also on the boat of 'Not able to disable custom powers.'
If I have to see your god awful costume of a pink power ranger on the huge build type with a dragon head, you're gonna get to see my pretty pink energy blasts.

Customized MA animations? Could this mean punches?
I hoped for this, but never expected it to actually happen!

Hehe same here. I was looking forward to the color customization, but when I saw this, my jaw dropped. My main character is Martial Arts, so I am very happy with this announcement.
THIS IS THE BEST ISSUE EVER.

[/ QUOTE ]YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY...
erm..err sorry, anyhow, one question i have been wondering about, remember how back before they replaced the sonic shields effects, it was making a number of players ill to see it? Given that we seem to be able to change buffs that we can apply to other players, might we see some of that back with insane color combinations?
IM SO GONNA HAVE PINK SPEED BOOST.
no my caps lock isnt broken... I am just really really psyched.

You realize that this threat is going to kill any chance of us getting similar upgrades in the future, don't you?

oh and a few direct questions for any dev that feels chatty, since this is one of my particular pet issues.
1. will the ma/ss animations be new or will they be reused existing anims.
2. will the animations be selectable per power, as the colorizing is, or will we need to choose suite 1 or suite 2 of animations?
3. this one is for the street fighting fans, but there will be punches for martial arts? if so, im thinking a number of people will be quite happy.
thanks in advance and if you cant answer, i understand.
oh, one last though, claws brutes and solo 8 man groups, billz is so coming back for issue 16 :P
A lot of perennial suggestions get fulfilled. Happy making issue for many folks.

Until they visit the market and all the usual spamming that occurs there. Compared to that the first mothership/Hami raid is going to melt some copper.
Think about it, the client will not be able to know who you will be coming across and always preload the data ahead of time. Therefore you'll be sent all that extra data EVERY time anyone uses a customized power.
Nonsense. That data all gets sent once: when you load their character. Just like all the other costume data.
So yeah, there's about an extra 32-50 bytes of data to download per character but you only load it once. It would not be a noticeable increase over what is already happening when you enter a crowded area on dialup.
