You've done a fantastic job of bringing this most wanted feature too us. Well done man
Well, count me in among those who appreciate your work with this project. I'm so happy my Spines Scrapper (born in 2004 ) will be finally able to get the Thorn spines... And my Storm/Elec Defender will finally have lightnings that will match with those in Storm Summoning. And, well... I go could on and on.
Again, thank you. Can't wait for Issue 16.

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.

You don't know how long I've waited for this feature... thank you. You've made me incredibly happy. I really don't know how to express it to you guys. I assure you though, I will be here for a long long time.
I can't know how much work you put into this but I believe it was very large, based on what I know of the game's works. Knowing what you've told us, the unfinished product we've been getting pictures of is above and beyond what I was expecting.
You knocked it. Out. Of. The. Park.
So thank you, thank you for your work and for caring enough to push through all the hurdles that existed. You didn't have to but you did.
Thank you.

Yes ty again (to all who it applies to)
I hope that you will continue to spearhead this project so that all powers (APPs/Power Pools/Granite Armor/etc) can be customized
Edit: Oh and on a note, if possible when you're working on Granite Armor customization...can you have it so that if your toon is 4 ft tall, when you activate Granite Armor you stay 4 ft tall but in a mini-Granite armor (maybe have an option if people want to 'grow up' to a 7 ft tall Granite Armor person)? I'd love to have a little mini-granite armor dude/dudette

Loving it BABs. Very excited about this system. Every character I play in CoX feels like my own invention. I never once feel like I'm running around as Link or Mario or some other avatar invented by someone else. The ownership I feel over my characters is unmatched by any other title out there on the market. When I think about it, this is my favorite aspect of this game.
The power customization that you've put so many hours with will take that experience to the next level. The gameplay of CoX is solid. Thank you, most sincerely, for making that which is already great about the City of ... game all the better! I'm really really looking forward to individualizing my characters all the more once i16 goes live!

I hate those images on imageshack. I demand you get rid of them immediately so I stop drooling on my keyboard wanting to get this issue (at least the costume creator) in my hands.
Seriously, devs. I have wanted an issue like this since I was playing I6. Custom colors for my powers will be much better. Of course a couple of my characters will not get their colors changed, but a few will have massive changes to fit my vision even more.
If the colors are truly custom, such as I can choose anything that is in the costume creator right now for colors, this will be the most epic thing ever to happen to the game. And the best part for me is that this issue is free, and won't be a pay for one like Going Rogue. Seeing releases like this occur makes me excited for the future state of the game. Haven't had my subscription lapse for 1 day, doubt I'll let it lapse in the near future

Arc #1267 The Key of Brass and Flame
I am appreciative of this feature, but the proliferation is better.
I am NOT being a party pooper here, but I just wanted to warn a few, that this feature can get old real quick - having it in that other game's beta where you can change your colors on the fly, even between attacks at any time, loses it's charm after the first few hours.
Ice in particular is pretty tough to recolor - it just doesn't feel right - it's like you are throwing purple/red/green garbage at an enemy, and even if it's garbage that you want to be throwing, it doesn't act like garbage, it acts like ice.
Some powers are AWESOME recolored, like electricity. Some are just 'whatever,' such as minimal streaks that you can color while running super speed, etc.
Truly, I am not trying to make others get angry, I really don't want you to get that impression, but take it from someone who knows what it's going to be like for months on end, because of actual experience.

BABs, this is something I and most of the player base has been hoping for for the last 5 years. We can't NOT be excited about it. One of our long time dreams is soon to become reality.

If you're talking about Power customization in a certain beta of a competing MMO....yeah but I beleive only because the customizing is VERY VERY weak IMO. The hue changes hardly at all for most powers ontop of the the powers themselves being underwelming to watch in the first place. This system seems FAR more robust in comparison.

I wouldn't trade Arch types for anything.
Arch types give us the ability to be different.
This is a Truely wonderous feature of this game. And it should be advertised.
Hue changing is AWESOME in this game. Because as a Controller I can do changes to my fire powers, while being a Fire Brute I can do other stuff...
Gosh the ability to be my own hero, truely is an awesome feature of this game.
From the pics i've seen, I'm very impressed, i would even say overwhelmed with awesome. the electricity coloration in the gamershell link makes it look as if Elec has always been yellow.
-The pics of energy manipulation colored magenta are really nice cause the coloring system lets you make something like 'gleaming fists' rather than energy covered pompoms of doom (which still look nice, or will look nice once I've recolored them)
-And Im most pleased by how the dark powers recolor, I was expecting a muted palette, with the recolor looking kind of dusty at best, but seeing that bright red made me glee inside. oh and the red tenebrous tentacles are awesome.

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?

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

Cool!...My first direct responce from a red name Sorry...had to do it.
And because it CANNOT be said enough...thank you BABs (especially for this feature...been wanting it since the game started), as well as all the devs, for all of your hard work on continuing to improve upon and keep this game great. I got into this game because of a now-failed relationship, but you guys and gals keep proving that something good did come from it.

Looking one mixed metaphor in the mouth is worth two birds with one stone.
I'm loving what I'm seeing so far... I think any of my 50's that I don't play anymore should start worrying as I may need to free some more slots.
I'm also looking forward to when the devs have time to do the same to the power pools. I desperately want to be able to do something about Hasten. It will be nice to make that oft chosen power fit into a character design for once.
Thanks guys... I have to admit I was getting a little disillusioned with this game of late due to the AE farming but this has really reignited my passion for the game.
Mind you issue 16 is also going to play havoc with my altitis
