They could leave it unblocked for the I14 closed beta, because the big stuff of that Issue was in the actual game, unlike this time.

I know I am not please at all with this, I knew I wasn't getting into the beta, I only have been in one issue beta but I've been waitting for this day for over 4 1/2 years and some even longer and to just close of test so we can't even mess around with the creator was just a very bad idea. Now, if they did that from the begin of issues closed betas, I think no one would be upset by it but to just do it now, with the this the number one most wanted thing, was a very big mistake imo.

Not only that, but you couldn't see the animations for every single power at the character creator before. Now you can.

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. |

...Sorry, couldn't resist.
On a side note, there are STILL more things that don't know about i16 that are coming, so it's possible that locking us out is only the tip of the iceberg.
Gotta say that not announcing that this beta would be different than others, and waiting untill the day beta starts to let people find out they can't get thier usual sneak peek at the powers/character creator......pretty bad idea. Just letting people know a few weeks ago would have softened the blow a bit. Pretty bummed out right now

I really don't see what the big deal is. Allowing us get into the costume creator would make zero sense. That is why there is closed beta. This isn't rocket science people.

Will only Beta Testers be able to access the Character Creator at all? Will non-beta accounts be able to get into the queue and eventually get to the Character Creator? If non-beta will not be able to get to it at all, I strongly suggest changing that, unless, as I said before, there are some other secret, market-breaking features or that you are testing other features like the functionality of that new log-in system. With the other games in development, that would be a marketing boondoggle; you could get so much interest and "free" coverage and possibly displace the competition in the media. (The saddest part of posting this is that I believe that there is a slim chance that the people at Paragon Studios might not have seriously considered the marketing value of allowing free access to the Character Creator.) |
Yes, the marketing team for this company sucks, no doubt about it. Only the Dev's outstanding work keeps them in business, so I would say the marketing team should go ahead and brown up their noses, hoping the Devs never move on.

Its not a big deal and not hard to figure out why and I think most of us understand why for the most part. We're just disappointed with the change in precedent from the previous closed betas and had our hopes of getting a little bit of a preview like we always have been able to, so we're venting.
