Any good reason why Peacebringer/Warshades can't color there powers when !16 came out?

My first thought...They're all from the same race, with the same powers. And RP wise, it doesn't make since.

That storyline wise, they all look the same.

My theory is that the problem was technical in nature. Stone armor users were denied the ability to recolor granite armor due to the way the power functioned (it transforms you into an NPC model). It makes sense that the Nova and Dwarf forms function the same way in which case recoloring them would run into the same problems. Given that the devs may have decided to skip any form of customization for Khelds since having the forms be a different color from their attacks would look silly.

Of course this is speculation. The RP reason that BrandX brings up might also be the case or it might be that they simply didn't have time.

Not all **** Sapiens look the same...

That says a lot about humans when their own species is a censored word. :P

not when he can't spell it right. Homosapien most certainly isn't censored.

You're right.

I should of said...All Khledians look alike and have the same powers. And being energy beings, I guess all beings from the same place, would be the same color energy.

As per BABs quoted reply above.

Of course this is subject to change.

But our species name IS properly written as H*omo Sapiens ( sans asterisk of course ), not Homosapiens.

More specifically, we are H omo sapiens sapiens, just like the Western Lowland Gorilla is Gorilla gorilla gorilla.

Coloring Granite Armor would be so awsome and Dwarf/Nova forms would be awsome!

Well I hope it does Coloring Peacebringers/Warshades powers would be so awsome same with Granite Armor.
Please tell me i spelled Granite right lol.

Right, and like how the monster truck rally is on Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!

Our reasons:

1. Time - We set out to do primary/secondary powersets. Rather than delay power customization even longer, we opted to release what we felt we could get done. (95% of powers = half done)
2. Me too! - We knew we couldn't do Kheldian customization without also doing Arachnos customization. The epic ATs equate to about 4 powersets each, so it's not an insignificant amount of work. ( In for a penny, in for a pound.)
3. Tech - The tech was set up to do customization of Primary and Secondary powersets. Some issues come up with Epic powersets because of the forms, builds, paths, etc.
4. UI redesign - UI would need to be reconfigured to deal with the additional powers, and powers within forms. Tech would probably be needed to show the avatar in the correct forms in the preview window. (Requires tech and art, so not up to me)
5. Form Shifting - We don't yet have the ability to do customization of costume swaps, used by Kheldian Dwarf and Nova forms. We'd rather wait to do customization for Kheldians when and if that becomes something we can do. (Requires tech, so not up to me)
6. Popularity - At the time, Kheldian and Arachnos characters represented a very small section of the playerbase, which means it get's prioritized lower than things like Pool Powers, or Anciallary/Patron powers. (logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few)
7. Fictional - Epic archetypes are heavily tied to specific fiction in game lore. This point is debatable and no concrete decisions were ever made one way or the other about it...it's just something that came up when talking about the scope of power customization. In conjunction with all of the other reasons listed above, it's just one more tick in the column of reasons we didn't.

Does that summon a gorilla, using the same rules as Beetlejuice or Hickman?

Thanks for settling this...and for mentioning patron pools are on the list of "to be customized."

As I've mentioned before, Arachnos Soldiers already have a good amount of customization in their ability to select and color their weapons. They wouldn't be able to color the effects associated with those weapons anyway. So that leaves the Secondaries, and Fortunata mind blasts. Good to know that the thought was "let's not give Fortunatas customization now" not "let's not give Fortunatas customiation".

Of course, I would definately expect Arachnos customization with Kheldian customization. Even though I know you devs hate villains.

You know, I never even thought of this. I just assumed the color customization would apply to powers in Human form, and figured the color of Form attacks would be tied to the Form customization. Like, if you set the color of your Form to some value, its attacks would be the same color. I must admit, while it would require a more complex interface, being able to modify the Form powers individually would be really nice.

The same with Arachnos. Of course -- you have two sets of powers to customize, especially if you have dual builds. That's a complication for sure.

#2 on my list of what I thought was the issue. I think there are some people who would like to customize their blasts even if they can't customize their forms, like with Granite Armor. Still, there are some people who'd probably prefer to be "in for a penny, in for a pound", as they say. All or nothing.

"At the time?" Is this a hint that maybe the EAT population is growing more quickly?

No need to repeat myself here. Just keep this reason way down on the totem pole please.

I may have to summon a gorilla, wiseguy...
