I leave it as an exercise for the readers to interpret his bran-related comment in light of this new information. I submit that it is highly relevant to the content of his posts.

I don't suppose there is an option for turning off auras entirely for people who really don't like the effects of their toggles on their costume?

the interesting thing to me is that it seems to show that you can select the powers during creation, meaning that those of us who dont get into closed beta can still futz around with it, i appreciate that because my work schedual makes the time commitment required by beta testing unfeaseable and as such would not make a good beta tester. but now i will be able to at least try it out when it hits cb in a limited capacity.

........??
I'm confused.
What does showing the new character coming in I16 creator have to do with being able to play around without before closed beta?

Typically, the lock-out for non-beta accounts doesn't happen until you actually try to log a character onto the server. This means that the character creation process - and whatever new goodies may be part of it - is usually open for anybody to fool around with. While it's possible that even character creation could be locked this time around, if it isn't, then non-beta participants should be able to experience being able to change colors and animations for powers.

Clouded, I believe it is a reference to powers that have been adjusted to an "Oh dear sweet little baby Jesus my eyes!"

There is no need or point in making off-color remarks about off-color customization. Off color customization, remarkably, has not been discussed despite being [DELETED], which is not to say that it is exploitable.

Clouded, I don't think that its your post-lunch condition that makes this conversation hard to deal with, let alone to follow. Off-color customization is much harder to define that color customization, which is readily apparent. Just in case though, try it "Post-breakfast" instead, Raisen Bran being almost a metaphor for what I'm talking about. The farmers out there know what I'm talking about, which means [DELETED]. Not sure where the devs stand on this, though, atm.

And i still don't know what the hell you're talking about. Your explanation/clarification (i think that's what it's supposed to be) makes no more sense to me than your original statement did to those you're responding to in this post. Maybe if i looked at it through a timecube it would?

Oh jeebus. Unless they change the login procedure...oh god I am excited.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

Is that what kids are calling it these days?

Wow. So you actually DID pull out random animations here and there, do all the greyscale stuff needed, and just do this piecemeal over the long term. I think I outright suggested it a year ago, but I never imagined you'd actually do that. That's a crazy amount of dedication.

What I really love about this dev team is they go the extra mile just to make as many people as happy as power. Lazier developers wouldn't have bothered with both "light" and "dark" versions, no matter how lame it would be not to be able to throw solid black balls of flame at people. I sound like a total sycophant here, but this is astounding when you have some idea of how much effort all this took.

If you're not in Closed Beta, you can still futz around with the Character Creator.

[/ QUOTE ]Yea, they said that in the I16 overview announcement. Oddly it was under the info for the new character creator instead of in any of the bits about color customization. Go figure ya.[ QUOTE ]
The primary and secondary colors of any power effect can be changed individually for each power in the set.

BaB while you're looking in on this topic.

Curiously just wondering how much extra work it would take to be able to select the projectile type as well as the colour of a power?

Would love to be able to select Proton Volley style (the three round balls of energy) projectiles for an energy blaster, colour them pink and go all Danmaku on the enemies.

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?
