Issue 16 Closed Beta Coming Soon

So that's why I-15 was so skinny.

I can't wait test it out (if I get the chance to *crosses fingers for luck*).

I wonder if the AE interface will be modified as well to allow colour/theme costumization for AE critters?

I thought I read that using custom colors in AE will have to wait until they figure out how to deal with the change in critter file size.

Per the devs, no, not at launch (due to resolving issues with the additional data taking up available MA space). They will apparently be working on this for later rollout (hopefully).

I've been waiting and waiting for Power Customization. I shall surely loose sleep testing it, if I can get in. I can barely get out of the Tailor some days as it is.

Only fanboi's are allowed in closed beta.

just sayin

lol. Fangirl here
I have to admit- I didn't make much of an effort to head over to Test server for issue 15- The main feature, the task force would be useful for only two of my characters, as it is restricted to levels 45 and up. I don't think my scrapper or my brute would have made much difference in terms of testing. No fancy IO sets or special builds, nothing out of the ordinary.

And I'm still fooling with MA, to get a mission to work just the way I want it to, so I doubt I would have been much help testing the changes there.

But this issue? I've got a slew of characters who will benefit from this, with lots of different powersets to experiment with. They come in a variety of level ranges, so after playing in the tailor to tweak the colours, it would be no problem at all to take them out for a few missions to see how these customized powers actually work, without the need to level up first.
And the proliferated powersets are things I've been interested in for a very long time. Scrapper's my fave archetype, so anything that gives me some new options when rolling one is a plus in my book. I would love to see how an electric scrapper rolls, or a clawed brute. Freaking sweet all round.

I may not have the most playtime, thanks to my wierd work schedule. But when something grabs my attention like this, I will make time.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth

I noted in the pictures that include color palettes that there appears to be a dark circle at both ends of the color spectrum. Does one of these represent a transparent option?

Same here, actually. Checked out everything *but* the task/strike forces, since they were (a) a big part of the issue and (b) I didn't want to 'spoil' it for myself when it hit live.

---

Yeah, I avoided the i15 clopen beta because I wanted to enjoy the TF when it went live and there wasn't really anything else to test aside from the two costumes. I did make an attempt to help test the Science Pack when I heard it was on test, but by the time I got home and logged in it was gone.

I myself would REALLY love to get in on the beta for i16 though since power customization is one of the few things that I've been wanting for YEARS, along with a TA/Arch corruptor and Rad blaster. I'd have plenty of desire to test those particular builds as well as give an elec armor scrapper a test-drive, and with power customization on two out of three of those combos I'd be sitting pretty.

Not to mention I'm so stoked for this I'd be combing every inch of the game I could get to to dig up bugs and problems so we can get this on live as soon as possible. XD Here's hopin'.

---

Count me in as another who tried to test the science booster, but a spectacular comedy of errors made that rather difficult. Took forever to get patched up, and then when I tried to log in, the login servers were down. Annoying!

Need more hints of what I-16 storyline stuff might be, if I'm gonna come out of retirement and make a trailer. Come on Hero 1, talk to me. Gimme hints here... you know you want to.

Ahh I can't wait! I hope there aren't any serious bugs that can come with this. We'll just have to test it like a **** to find out. So excited!!

I've been REALLY looking forward to this. Devs, Thank you. On behalf of us all. If you need more people for the closed beta, consider this a volunteering effort.

Nivine,

This is Emcc, one of the Holloween costume contest winners 2008, from Infinity, you know the Rainbow suit guy.

I was hoping to invited to the closed Beta for Issue 16 since, as a Rainbow costumed Hero, this issue and power color customization is right up my toon's alley.

I know EVERYONE has been asking for this option since issue one, but I feel special.

Anyway, no hurt feeling, sniff...I guess I will join everyone else at Open beta

Emcc

So Niviene...

1) Do we have a projected date for the Issue 16 release?
2) Are we finally going to be able to create a Scrapper with Martial Arts and Gadgets?

Just curious... and intrigued
