...you actually can't color the color of the laser of the pulse rifle?! That's terrible! I didn't know this! xD

1. MM pet power
2. Kheldian customization
3. Granite Armor
...really? I know that you can make zombies vomit any colors you want. It would seem like that would be easy to do for lasers, as well. Strange.

Some things were more easily enabled. It was either delay ish 16/Customization until MM, Khelds and Granite were ready or release without them and update later.

This was explained with the new options for Spines. You are allowed to either:
1) Change the color/appearance of your spines/claws/weapons
OR
2) Change the color/appearance of the effects associated with your spines/claws/weapons
But not both. In other words, if you wanted to color the muzzle flash of your pulse rifle, you would have to give up the ability to customize your pulse rifle. Probably not what you want.
Hopefully once MM pets are customizable (and they are not currently for much the same reason Granite Armor isn't customizable -- they have to change their costume to reflect upgrades) MM's won't be getting the short end of the stick so much.

Well, making the lasers of your Bots fire in different colors would be different from making your pulse rifle fire in different colors. Still, that would be cool. I guess if Zombies can do it, Bots really should be able to do it, too. |

I'm guessing they are holding off until they can REALLY make the Bots customizable, though. Instead of just giving you light show colors but nothing else.
I have a fire/ troller at level 50, and while you can change the color of their appearance, you can't change the attack color. I have Black Imps, Purple Imps, and Blue Imps, and they all use the Legacy Fire Colors for their fire brawl.
I would like to be able to customize all my pets. Not really the coloring of their powers, just want to be able to change their costumes the same way I can change mine just with more limited options to reflect what type of pets you're actully useing.
Note: VEATs cannot customize themselves.

Wow... I dont feel quite as bad now. It looks like they issued a half issue at best then.

This is ignorant impatience talking. Bots, Granite, Veats, and Khelds, Do not even equal half the power sets that did get customization. Not to mention that you were able to customize weapons long before I16 was released.|

If you really look at it this is step 2 in customizing your characters, Step 1 Customized weapons, and Step 2 Customized Colors. The next logical thing would be more customized animations for all sets and the ability to customize Granite, Kheld Forms, and MM Pets. I think they left the Veats out because the Kheld's were not getting any thing.

I want my bots to be customisable too. But Id rather BaBs did as good a job as he did with all the other powers that DID get it this issue, so that Bots look just as awesome.
Belittle not that which is made of win. And required so much work.

To customize Pets required an astonishing amount of work and would have delayed i16 possibly months. Not only would it detail coloring pets, but coloring each attack power each one has. Not to mention each player want to make their pets look unique to everyone elses (making Bots look like Golems, Making an all Female Thugs group)
More is coming, but it's great they released what they had accomplsihed versus leaving us waiting even longer. More is coming. Pool Powers are next on the list. I had long given up on Power customization long ago, and am thrilled it's happened!
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
--The Question, JLU
If you're impatient and want to try a set you currently CAN customize the colors for, try Necro. Otherwise, please try to be more grateful for what we have.
I am glad that some people got what they wanted.
I didn't expect miracles. No one got powers that morphed. I think golems would be great, but all I was looking at was the ability to change the colors of the pets and the attack powers. Even if changing the pets was too difficult, why not be able to change the attack powers?
If it was so difficult then why not just add it bit by bit, rather than calling it an Issue that doesnt affect a sizable portion to the player base. It just seems to me that many powersets got nothing in the way of power customization.
Generally when an Issue has come out it has more or less affected everyone, with the exception or powerset balancing tweaks of course.
And just for the record Clouded, I am VERY flexible, thank you for noticing.

What?
Only MM pets, HEATs, and VEATs are left out of power customization. How is that leaving out "a sizable portion of the player base"? Especially when most people play lots of ATs/powersets. My BS/shield scrapper gets no color changes, but my shield/fire tank gets a wicked cool greater fire sword. My thugs/pain MM can't do anything with his pets, but I do think recoloring pain black looks nice and unobtrusive.

I do agree I'm very happy they gave customization at all to some sets, and I, too, would love the option to customize pets. I'm not picky, I can wait. Just be patient, they'll get the rest customizable soon, but this was just the first step in getting everything colorable. Yes, it's true, some powersets got shafted. BUT! Some did get color customization. I don't think it'll kill anyone to wait for a few updates to the color system, right?
Well thanks for the reality check.
Patience has never been a virtue of mine.
Sorry about the whine. I'll try to keep it under wraps next time :}

Try and remember...issue 16 wasn't all of the power customizations that can and will come...it was the start of them...most should be on their way soon enough...just takes time.

Except I can already change the color of my pulse rifle in the Costume section via Weapons Customization, just like an Assault Rifle or Axe. So this analogy doesn't hold water, unless we're talking about applying it to pets and their weapons. I should be able to change the weapon color on the Costume section, and the effect color in the Powers section.|

Bots are obviously a whole other bailiwick altogether.
