? about color customization

I was wondering why some powersets show Bright or Dark options, and others only show Color Tintable, even though its the same animation.

For instance:

Empathy Healing Aura is the same animation as Radiation Radiant Aura, yet the rad aura has the option for Bright or Dark and the emp power only has Color Tintable.

Is there some small difference in the animation that I'm not noticing or ??

I'd recommend PM'ing the Dev you stalk since he'd know the answer better than anyone else.


















































If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Should I rephrase that to "the Dev you OPENLY admit to stalking"?

lol
that really did make me laugh

When he went all mean and 'Private' on the old boards, we quit doing it. It wasn't as much fun then

Eh, that's ok. Everyone knows I'm a BAB stalker anyway, and not just on the forums.

I PM'd him, so I guess we'll see.

LOL. See what happens when you stalk them so openly on the forums?

BAB musta flipped the sarcastic hat over and inside out to become the "baffle 'em with technical jargon" hat.

I hate you for that link *glare*

and no, he put it pretty simple, so simple that it took me the 2nd PM to even get what he meant *rolls eyes*

<--- tarded

but I don't see why it matters, especially with GR so soon, but *shrug*

In Closed Beta for Customization and again in Open many of us had a... um... spirited... debate with BAB over this.

He and the other Devs are sticking by their guns that for Role-Play and PvP recognition issues that they won't allow a villain's healing aura be disguised as a hero's healing aura.

Yes, you and I see that as inherently illogical and can cite precedent after precedent where both in the comic book world and in this game that those RP and PvP rules are already broken and excepted. But, there's no budging here. Not worth re-fighting it.

Maybe, just maybe when we get villainified Empaths fighting heroified Pain Dominators in PvP, they'll see how silly the position is and change it. But even if that change of heart were to happen, they wouldn't have the time to do anything about it until after GR is released, so, it's not worth bringing up again until then.

This was what I didn't know. When BaBs PM'd me, he said something about PD, which is how I got confused in his 1st PM, bc I didn't use PD as my example so I didn't really see how it came into play. So it wasn't until his 2nd PM that I realized the hero/villain thing. I logged into my MM to verify that PD was indeed 'dark'.

I'm not trying to fight it. It was information that I didn't have, and I didn't understand why there was a difference. "Bringing something up" doesn't necessarily mean someones trying to cause discord, sometimes it's just info seeking.
