Color Customization

Hey, thats cool. That also means that new players will be able to preview what the sets look like, allowing them to check that a powerset look fits their concept


Always remember, we were Heroes.

Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.

[/ QUOTE ]what about temp powers like sands of mu?

I don't expect temporary powers to be colorable at all.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just want to take a second to thank you guys for being so positive and excited about this feature that's consumed so much of my life for so long. It's been a very long haul and tremendous amount of work from many people on the team. Your excitement about this feature is making it so much easier for me to continue to be excited about it, and that's making it a lot nicer to get through the final stretches of finishing this issue up and into your hands. I can't speak for the other people who've done a tremendous amount of work on this feature as well, but for me personally...it's a huge deal.

Rather than wait for Positron to get back from the con and pass it on, I'll do it directly. Thank you and everyone on your team for the amount of work that you've put into this.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.

Aside from things that fall under the "It's not finished; they're still working on getting all the powersets done" category, about the only thing I can see that would make color customization easier is a second 'use same colors' button on the powers screen; the button that's there spreads the current colors across both the character's primary and secondary powerset. While it may work for some characters to have both the primary and secondary powersets use the same colors, for powersets that are thematically distinct or work from separate palettes (i.e., Stone Armor and Fire Melee), the existing 'use same colors across all powers' button doesn't work well; a 'use same colors across all powers in powerset' button might be more useful.

not yet, maybe in a future passes, but pools, epics and patrons are not going to be in i16. check sm's posts, it was his second to last one in this thread, apparently this is from posi's mouth.

They will not be in I16 at release. They intend to extend customization to these powers as well, but they want to get the base powerset customization out to the players first.

It'll probably be a pain in the butt for them to put in multiple object choices for the Medicine pool, but I'd demand nothing less.

"Very dark" will be available on certain sets. Not on all of them. But, I assure you, the "dark" version of most of the ones I've looked over looks AWESOME.

The handful of non-glowing responses I've seen have been very reasonable and more in the realm of disappointed but still understanding. For that I'm exceedingly grateful.

So thanks for staying positive and constructive, it makes reading the forums so much easier and working on this game so much more rewarding.

Umm, your welcome?

Doesn't seem right saying that since you did all the hard work...

So thank you, and everyone else again! You guys rock...

Fantastic! I really, REALLY don't like the purple halo of Obsidian Shield, and the annoying white sparklies of Murky Cloud.

Damn, I was really hoping I could remove (or change to something less stupid looking) the Rooted graphics.

Demand?

Good luck with that.

Try asking.

Is it? I have not heard a statement that EATs and VEATs will be getting the customization bling-out in the future, just not at i16.


Still here, even after all this time!

I interpreted this to mean:

pools - Normal pool sets, like Fitness, Medicine, Super Speed, etc.

epics - Epic Pool Powers, also referred to as Ancillary Pool Powers, such as Munitions Mastery, Fire Mastery, et al.

patrons - Patron Pool Powers (eg Black Widow, Scirocco... )

HEATs and VEATs aren't listed for customization for I16 as you already know, and I haven't seen any posts myself indicating otherwise at a later date.

I must say that there is something *very* loveable about the fact that the COH community goes bonkers (with love!) over something like this.

We really love playing dress-up as much as we do beating down the baddies

We beat up baddies? I thought this was just a tactical dress up simulator!

The big problem with a lack of customization of hero epic pools will be when "Green Fire Blaster Dude" turns on his Fire Shield and uses Char and Bonfire and they are still ordinary orange flames... or when "Pink Ice Controller Girl" is stuck with a blue Ice Blast or Hibernate bubble.
It is really going to break up the theme and the look of many characters. Patron pools won't be as much of an issue because they are so unique and most of them don't really match up with primary powersets like the hero pools do...

Not to off-topic this convo, but are we expecting any Grogue related info from SDCC? I thought we might get a tidbit or two, even if just lore bits.
