"New Character Creator
Not only does the newly updated Character Creator allow players to jump directly between Archetype, Powersets, Costumes and Character ID in any order without losing progress, but it also allows you to select your colors and theme for each individual power or apply it to the entire powerset. These themes will allow for color tinting of geometry and particle effects such as energy blast colors and force field colors. The primary and secondary colors of any power effect can be changed individually for each power in the set."
Now seeing as that is a BIG part of the release of issue 16 if not the main focus. WHY would they let people play around in it until its released? They don't let you go log in and play with anything else during a beta and this beta seems to be all about the character creator.

I got a peek at comic con... now they've denied me my fix. *twitches*
Closed Beta isn't for "taking peaks". It's about looking for bugs, exploits, and other problems. Thousands of people all logging on to ONE server just to play with the Character Creator would probably hamper the Beta Test invitees' ability to look for bugs, let alone even get into the server in the first place!
True, this hasn't happened in the past... however, in the past, we also havn't had an entire issue's worth of changes that revolve mostly around the Character Creator itself.
So just relax =)

Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
Steel, we know. We understand what beta is for.
We're just whining, begging and pleading :P
But still no fingers.
Fingers, we must have fingers!!!!
Uber Talgrim - level 50 emp/dark defender
Uber Rod - level 50 dark melee/regen scrapper
Rod Valdr - level 50 invuln/SS tanker
Talgrim - level 50 ninja/dark mastermind
OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!

People are running out of things to beg for.
Oh wait... PvP...
EDIT: (And bases!)
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.

Technically, they already added fingers with the inclusion of the VEAT. Albeit, they are only visible in the costume creator and limited to VEAT costumes

i dont know if anyone else noticed, but they also revamped the color pallet...
not only does it have two new rows (two more blue rows), some of the old columns seem to be missing and replaced with new colors...
i wonder how this will affect current costumes...
but yay for new colors anyway
Hopefully they won't break any existing costumes by removing any colors. That would be a truly terrible path to take, IMO. I'm pretty sure though, that one of the devs (Posi?) has already said that the powers will have their own custom palettes available, depending on the 'flavor' of the powerset. The stone stuff was one mentioned -- it would have more 'earthy' tones and such, but probably not neon turquoise or whatnot. That sort of thing. So I'm thinking what you're seeing in the shots that have been released are custom palettes for specific powersets, not the general costume creator one.

Different powers will have different color options. For example, there's a Bright Energy Blast and a Dark Energy Blast, both with different palettes. This doesn't affect costumes.

If you looking at the power color charts, I believe that different powers have different palettes than the costume sets all together. So there shouldn't be any problems with the costumes themselves. Some powers have been said to have both a bright and a dark palette that you can choose from.

Will the character creator be opened up to non-closed-beta testers at some point? Or will that wait until open beta?

I'm kinda surprised Babs responded to him...
...huh....
Oh to tide you guys over. You should mess with the coloring of the standard enemy groups in AE.
I had fun turning Devouring Earth boulders into many different colors, imagining that's how my stone tank would look.
Also, you should try coloring the longbow heavy and the PPD assault units.
Suddenly I foresee AE missions where the players are ostenibly on drugs, to justify seeing villains in garish colors visible from a mile up.
