It's not really "male-shaped", though. It's "generic genderless creature-shaped".

I do kinda wonder if it's too late for that, - IDK if the Mutant or Natural Origin is scheduled to come out next? Nor for that matter, any idea of when either one is (tentatively?) scheduled to come out.
Heck, who knows...
Maybe they've already come up with something similar, or possibly "better" 'feature' - that could (essentially) accomplish the same effect?
Here's to hoping they do!

What you're asking is akin to asking the men behind Nintendo to redesign Samus' power armor to be form-fitting around her chest. I mean, seriously, why would I want to put two special breast rocks when I'm already wearing an armor made of rocks?

I'd hope they'd give them free or at the very least in GR instead of a booster.

But seriously, I think a few of the questions bugging a few people are mainly about epic/ancillary and pool powers. Since I wasn't invited to Closed Beta, but someone I know who has no high-levels was, I'd love to get some clarification regarding the customization of the epics and pools. I mean, I'd love to see Bile Spray turn a sick milk green, or Soul Storm not have the glowing bratwursts of doom.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
Last we heard, there is currently no customization of any Pool or Epic powers, only Primary and Secondary

Perhaps they will eventually be able to use the alternate animation tech to make this possible, by adding an animation that doesn't do the model replacement. What I'd really like to see would be a version that replaces all textures on the PC model with a tintable granite texture, so that it looks like the character's skin and gear was turned to stone--the character as a moving statue.

I'd like one order of that, in green. kthxbai.
As for granite armor, I don't mind keeping the current behemoth, but Id like to see alternate styles of behemoth, like say a crystal covered one, spikey, maybe even different skins like asphalt with traffic lines painted on it.

Incredibly unlikely that you will be able to use Nova without changing to the Nova model. Far more likely to get alternate colors. In terms of game lore the way a Kheldian gains access to the Nova's full powers is by duplicating the original creature's form. As creatures evolved to float in the atmosphere of a gas giant it seems a bit unlikely there were human-shaped Novas floating about.

I have bought a booster or two in the past (wedding pack springs to mind immediately).
In my opinion too many of the things in these packs should be included in the game instead of "pay us a monthly fee and MOAR money for ingame stuff". I also don't consider 2/3 the monthly fee to be very "micro". Micro is a couple bucks.
Just my 2c.

And now this thread is going to devolve into a "MICRO RAWKZ! U HAV ENTITLMENT ISSUES!" and "NO U!" arguement.

...itd still be cool though.

I just wish they were including the Human-Form powers of Khelds in the colorable powers, even if the Nova/Dwarf forms couldn't be recolored.
After all, that's what they did for Stone Armor (recolor everything except Granite).
I was really looking forward to making my new Peacebringer (Human Only) toon using a different color scheme, but I guess it's not going to happen now . . .
Oh well, the new SS and MA animations should keep me busy for now.

This game gives us a TON of free stuff (16 issues). so a $10 here and there is nothing as far as im concerned, AND its not stuff needed to play the game, so if you dont wanna pay thats cool, you dont need the stuff anyway. WoW had 2 expansions for $50 a piece and you needed those to contiune on the game.
but thats my opinion, plus im loaded so money is no issue (sarcasticly said)

it depends where you live
NC charges tax in California, Texas, and Washington, also I know that a friend of mine in Arizona has tax as well, so YMMV I suppose.

Correct. I believe it depends whether or not NCsoft has an established business/branch in those locations.
