I'm not sad, I'm pissed off.
Any random schmuck putzing around at Comic-con could waltz up and test out power customization but those of us who were unable to go yet have been loyal players aren't allowed to even check out the character creator? That's just poor play right there.
This is the first time I've been genuinely disappointed in the dev team. What would it hurt to let us just look at the custom colored powers if we don't get into the game? Hell if anything it would probably help speed the process along since the character creator is the big overhaul this time around. More testers would get things found faster, plus only the closed testers would be able to see them in practice and test the in-game performance.
Not cool team, not cool at all.
EDIT - After seeing the other reply and opinions that said tweet could just be a poorly phrased way of saying "People are locked out of character creator and we're tryign to fix it" I'd like to say that if that's the case then I retract my former statement and commend the team for being so VERY giving to us. 
If not you suck. >:|

This is annoying, especially coming less than an hour after BABs raised hopes to the contrary. What on earth does Paragon Studios gain from not letting the people who aren't in closed beta even see the new animations, color palettes, auras? I don't get it. It seems pointlessly petty.

Until now, the costume creator/character creator has been pretty much rock-solid, even as they add things like real numbers display or custom weapons. There's probably a good chance of bugginess in this new version (beta is to wring the bugs out) so that's why they might have closed it. Also, there was whining and moaning about some custom weapons that didn't make it into release unchanged, and they may want to avoid that.
My guess is that for a week or so, it'll be the "friends and family" group before the first wave of players is invited in.

I'm not sure if this means what you think it means. It sounds like this means that it currently only allows closed beta people and they're fixing that. Though that doesn't seem likely.... I'm hoping my interpretation is correct :/

I hope they will tell us why they felt the need to close the character creator now. From what we've seen so far there isn't anything earth shattering in there that could upset the world balance of good and evil.

If you break the sentence up into two separate ideas, with the 2nd part meaning "only closed beta testers being able to log in to character creator IS working," then you could make a case that the first part of the sentence simply means that a fix for this problem is going to be applied.|

Of course this could just be the wishful thinking side of me speaking as well.

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. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Bab's statement, as written, can be taken either way.
well i have tried all 3 of my accounts... no go....

Ah well, can't please everybody and all that jazz...
I guess it all depend on where they want people playing with it, or testing it.
