Nothing new, but a nice massively feature: http://www.massively.com/2009/07/26/sdcc...-con/#continued
edit: Though is that a new Super Strength animation in the screenshot?

I dont think I've seen a single positive comment about City of Heroes EVAR on that site.
That being said though, that other game gets trashed about a bit too.
50Soulsunder: DM/Regen Scrapper
50Limitshift: EM/WP Brute
Victoria Nox: Dark/Dark Dominator
And about 5 others that change constantly...

Have we heard if we can change the powers customization based on the costume slot, or is it going to be one set of power color customization for one character?
[/ QUOTE ]
Powers can be individually customized per costume slot, but not supergroup mode.
[/ QUOTE ]
What about animation for MA and SS? Can they be customized per costume slot?

The alternate MA animations aren't looking too good in that video. The SS ones, on the other hand, look great.

Going by the video, it looks like Tail of the Dragon would still be a kick so 90% punches and 10% kick would be more like it
Yup, everything found in the videos can be left as is, or changed, individually. Pretty darn cool.
Of course, now when someone says, "I'm gonna make a new toon, brb" they won't be seen again for days...

One of the kids I was on the trolley with heading out one night was asking about it. He said, "well I'm all into customization" and I just laughed...

Quick question Zek.
Can we change the animation AND colour the 'boom' you get on SS or just change the animation (since it appears you can recolour rage)?
I believe so - there was a color picker for all of them, in addition to some having the variety of animations.
The ice and fire swords for instance can be recolored AND chosen between the big and little versions. So yeah.
And again, even if they're not in right now at demo time, they may yet show up in beta, live, or later. Its a year long work in progress after all.

I'm going to withhold judgement on the MA animations until I see them flowing in an MA attack chain. With MA the individual animations are difficult to judge out of context. If the punches flow well, that could be a bigger consideration than what they look like individually.

Yeah also remember, I didn't have the character rotated in those videos. We hardly ever see our own toons performing these actions from the front, at least not regularly.
Besides, "soon" we'll be able to try it out.

Am I the only one disappointed in the limitations of the color system. If they spent so much time redoing everything they could have at least taken a bit more to do a total overhaul.
The tinted stone hammers for instance are barely noticeable. The limitations on what colors you can choose is just silly. So what if I want bright red ice? Maybe I want to use Ice as a representation of a character that manipulates Rubies (Chick from Naruto Anime anyone?).
Anyway, I am just disappointed but I feel this game is falling on the "feels archaic" gameplay spectrum. The stuff we get is becoming increasingly stale in my opinion. I am one of those who is going to try CO, if it sucks then my Superhero MMO's experience is over for now at least because this game is just all over the place now.
Color me disappointed. And thats real color, not a lame de-saturated tint.

You're implying that the amount of effort to completely redo everything would have only required a little more effort. To some extent, what you want are things the devs decided not to do for artistic reasons, not for lack of effort. In other cases, what you want would have required a lot more effort than what was put into it because it would have required completely redoing graphics resources.
However, suppose I grant that it would only have taken, say, 30% more time. BaB's been working on this in earnest for at least six to nine months if not longer, which means a two to three month delay in getting power customization to us, even using extremely generous estimates for additional time.
*My* estimate is probably closer: I figure a total recreate of the geometry models factoring in the enhanced options of color customization would double or triple the time (if I had to bet real money, I would bet triple). By my estimate, that would delay power customization by an additional year or so, at least.
I'd rather have the options now, and have them improved over time, rather than wait for perfection. Perfection should not be the enemy of the good.

Sounds like you're just burned out. It may be time for a break either way. Hoping that CO somehow saves you from genre burnout is probably not being fair to CO. You might be better able to appreciate both CoX and CO after some time off.

I don't think anyone can be dissappointed in something they havent actually tried for themselves.
Videos and whatnot are not the real thing.
Take a break from the game, I did. I hadnt played for about 4 months. Now the game is fresh and nice, again... Just in time for dbl exp <3

As an avid poster in the power custamasation threads over the last few years, no form of this could really disapoint me. Reading this news made me reactivate my account and plan to do so for the forseeable future.
What I can do with it is only half as exciting as what the rest of the game is going to look like. I am sure some combanations will be just as horrid as some costumes, but that is part of the excitment...for me any way.
I hope I will soon be able to add particale effects to my weapons also. This addition to the game changes it hugely.
We could get a rules system from a table top game, or a M.U.D. part of the draw to this game is the asthetics of it, this has made that part of this game leaps and bounds better than before.

Perhaps I am just burned out but I have kept my subscription active in support of what I believe has been a truly great game. I just have not logged in for about 6 months and I still find no desire to log back in which is why I have finally canceled my account. I just feel there is nothing I can make anymore that I have not already made.
Like I said the ability to color change completely is what I wanted and would have opened many possibilities in what I could have made. I use that rubies thing as an example. It may be their decision for artistic reasons not to do it, but they lost me because of it. It would be fair to say that they may have lost me after a few months even if they allowed it, but I guess we will never know.
I suppose my problem boils down to the fact that I feel like there is not a single thing in the game that I have not already done or explored, and even the content I have not done doesnt feel different from everything else enough to get me excited. I suppose it's just my time to move on. Owell, I can't really bash the game, I have about 60 months in vet rewards. Can't say I didnt enjoy the time. I just wish there was something they could do that would save me from leaving so that I could enjoy the game again and I was hoping Issue 16 would be it.
