I'm not sure if it's new or not, but I switched builds last night and saw that you can name them. No more generic names, woot!

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
If I became a red name, I would be all "and what would you mere mortals like to entertain me with today, mu hu ha ha ha!" ~Arcanaville
No, that's not new. You could name the builds previously.
Paragon City Search And Rescue
The Mentor Project
Never having used 2 builds, I did not know that either

AND, I just noticed, that here in the forums, we have access to the Character Copy tool direct to Test!
Now... on one hand, yeah, that's a little dangerous in terms of there still being hackable account information because it's the NC login. But ... *convienent!!*

The ability to skip forward in the character creator and start playing with names before you make your character.

Something I've been requesting since long before I began working here! I think it may have been my first request in beta.

There are several things I like about i16, but, as silly as it might seem, this is among the top things.

I don't really see any added risk here. Sure, if you leave a computer without logging out from the forums, someone can queue a copy to Test, but... there's really not much harm in that. At worst you get some undesired copies on Test (which I suppose might give a small annoyance in some cases, but that's about it). I suppose someone could find out the name of all your characters, but... again, I wouldn't be very worried about that.|

I don't think there'd be any additional risk with regards to the account information itself.
Here's to hoping power customization 2.0 (including the ability to customize MM henchmen) includes the ability to rename controller/dom pets as well.

Heh; that caused me something of a doubletake when I clicked on a character I used the Science Pack body type change option on. I'd forgotten I gave it a female costume ( it's basic costume is technically male, with demon wings, monstrous head/legs; supposed to be a demonic entity ) and had forgotten. For a moment I thought I'd run into some costume scrambling bug.|

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Love all the little things that have gone into this issue, just found that when you change builds you can actually give each one a name. It's simple, but very useful

But like the fix to global channel colors was never documented in a patch.

For some reason I remember both of these having patch notes. Am I crazy? (is possible, I have a massive headache right now).

Dunno - maybe they could fix patch notes in some upcoming issue

I had still been having problems with chat color changes, so it wasn't completely fixed. Hopefully it is now.

This. Then two or three patches later, it did actually get fixed.

Yeah, I'd like to see all pets become nameable. MMs already get extra special control over their pets and it makes perfect sense but I don't get the reason for naming exclusivity. It'd go a long way towards re-enforcing some personal character themes to be able to name controller/dom pets accordingly.|

And if we don't ever get the ability to completely customize MM pets, being able to select from some model themes for them might be a decent compromise. I see Thugs dressed in suits and ties like secret agents or Family members, clockwork robots, science zombies, etc. With I16 opening the door on color and animation changes for powers, it'd be cool to see the logical steps taken.

One of the things I'd very much like to see is the ability to choose gender in MM pets in those cases where gender can apply (everything but robots really..) so you can be a lady MM with lady thugs. It just makes sense to me really.
I do realize though that adding choices in gender for pets AND colors AND different looks would be another grand change to the cossie creator.
While hoping it will come, I decided not to hold my breath. It won't last long enough, as I think it's a good ways off..
Would be nice though..

I can swear it was mentioned in the i16 test threads, that their hopes is to make the MM pets costumizable with use of the character creator.|
