Well I've only ever really, really, wanted to change the speed pools colour effects but who knows I might have a use beyond that.

I hope we can have a personal option to turn off the colourisation effects. I'm used to the colours as they are, and having seem a lot of REALLY VERY UGLY COSTUMES I'd rather like to avoid REALLY UGLY GARISH GLOWING EFFECTS EVERYWHERE. My eyes won't be able to take it.
Seriously, people can make the ugliest choices, and I really, really hate the idea of the game turning into a combination of Hello Kitty and dried blood.

Well, there's that too. Plus, it breaks "funny hat principle" even further. (Wizards should ALWAYS wear funny hats, so that they're easily recognizable. Fancier hat=more powerful wizard.) But it's only really importnt in PvP, which isn't that popular anyway... And I personally just _want_ blue radiation.

People can already make dog ugly glowing characters. Full body pink spandex, bright purple glow aura, on a Peacebringer. Changing the colours of powers only gives these people more choice, it doesn't let them make even more garish powers.

I was a bit "meh" about the MA, I am very "meh" about Issue 15...
...but as of right now I actually don't care if Issue 16 isn't anything but power customisation even if it's just colour customisation.
You know why?
Because that represents the very first step in the full power customisation road. First get the hardest part out of the way, the general ability to customise powers in any way shape or form. The next step would be selectable animations (I long to make boxing and Jab on my invuln/ss two different animations and make Smashing Haymaker an actual haymaker) and either custom or model replacements for MM pets with the ability to alter them (already in place with Issue 15 as you can tweak almost all non-custom faction NPCs in some way or another colourwise) and yes...I do want a pink Zeus Titan as my Assault bot...
This is the first step towards something great...

This is certainly a step in the right direction, and hopefully it's the first move in a full update to the graphics engine.
Add in some dev created arcs/missions, new or revamped zones, more power proliferation and we're going in the right direction - regardless of what CO will offer on release.

I hope there will be a new npc to do the power customisation and not the tailor/facemaker. I'd like to do it with a character who won't visit Icon ever again so she won't loose the awesome bolero/wings combo ...

I just hope that the colours actually work.
Lets face it, they havent managed to get the chat colours to stay as selected, without changing back after zoning.

And you were saying power customsation was impossible with the engine :P Lies.
They could have just cloned each animation and made it so that when you select a colour for your power, it changes x)
I don't know. But i think the devs are hiding the full capabilities of the game engine so that we don't start requesting crazy game features xD

But it needs to be a little bit see through, otherwise it wipes out the actual look of the power.

It's not that simple.
Power customisation was always possible, it just took a LOT of work to retrofit every single power in the game. That truckload of work is simply tedious, and would tie up the 15-man team for a whole issue.
I reckon they've been working on this, and much more, ever since NCSoft expanded the dev team. Yet it still took this long to do.

If not actually longer - although Im not a trained programmer I remember reading that FAQ a while ago and actually understanding why it was so much of a problem. And I am actually intrigued how they have gone about implementing it.
It kind of gets me thinking about the amount of work the Dev's are actually putting into the game, which IMO is a lot, and how much they are actually changing the more 'intertwined' mechanics/code of the game to keep it moving forward.
And if they are capable of doing this, what else are they going to be doing/have been doing.

Dev 1: Okay we need to cut down on the farming
Dev 2: I have a plan!
Dev 1: Whats that?
Dev 2: Lets allow people to do power customisation.
Dev 1: Okay i like it!
Dev 2: And then what we'll do is on the forums, we'll adverstise the fire control pets as a different colour.
Dev 1: Thats the most stupid idea i've ever heard, i said get rid of farming, not make more people want to play fire control which could essentially create alot more farmers
Dev 2: Oh well, i'm going to post it anyway.
It's now Issue 21 and I am back!

Are you suggesting that the devs should treat fire control like the red-headed step-child? I think when they thought they'd show off power customisation, they thought;
1) What's close enough to completion?
2) What looks totally frickin' awesome?
Methinks they succeeded, myself.
[ QUOTE ]
Would someone be able to confirm if its the whole power set or if you can do each power individually?
Or is it too early to ask this?
[/ QUOTE ]
I think its still to early to find out - technically they haven't confirmed its power customisation, although its more than a sure thing.
Think we wont find out more until July
