Pssh, people will do that regardless.

Y'know, I'm kind of surprised they haven't tried to close off the character creator for previous closed betas, especially with powerset proliferation or new powersets. And especially now that we have access to Real Numbers during character creation. It might cause problems when we start complaining about powresets before they're ready to be seen by everyone. I think some of that happened with the Shields set.

This is probably one of those things where it's better not to see it getting made, like sausage or legislation or babies.

But I am a little sad I won't get to play with the power customization.

I interpreted BaBs' message as "right now only closed beta testers can log in to the character creator, and we're taking it down to fix that."

Well, I could be wrong, but there's nothing in the character creator/powerset proliferation/animations that we haven't already seen. There's nothing to really test in the character creator.

And I took his message the other way, that people were getting in, and they are fixing it so that only I16 Beta testers have access.

QFT, regardless of how BaB's tweet is interpreted.

That's how I interpreted it...and what I'm praying for.

I sure hope it turns out this way.

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. >:|
/QFT

EDIT: And what Gr33n said about that other beta ...

We've had "real numbers" in character creation since before they started proliferating the various sets. We have also gotten new sets as well. It doesn't appear to be that big of a concern for them.

Apparently, I logged in during a small window of opportunity when anyone could get into the character creator.

And I don't believe I have access to the beta, that was the first thing I checked

What about Earth Assault or the mentioned changes to Elec Armor? It's certainly not as big as a brand new set, but maybe this is the first time they've been able to close off the character creator from non-closed beta people.

I don't know, it's just a theory for why they might be doing this. But I still hope they won't be.
