On Kheld Customization

FYI in the EU Q&A it was said no customization for us because of "fictional reasons."

I can most certainly understand why khel form customization is low on the priority level. Maybe that will change now that they unlock at 20.

I never checked.... are the human form powers customizable at all?

Well...

I quoted that including his typos.

IDK, I was called The Purple Goddess who Rained Death From Above the other night and I kinda like that.

I do enjoy customizing my other toons because it is not so rare to run into another Kat/DA or Elec/NRG blaster so I like to see exactly what I am hitting or not when things go all hectic. With the PB and WS toons I tend to be about the only one on the team.

Color would be nice, but I'd be tickled <colour> if they offered in some kind of tone slider. The droning. Jut a pitch up or down, s'all i'm asking.

Personally, I'd just like various shades of off white. Say for example, blue-white to orange-white, reminiscent of the sky at dusk or dawn.

At least they were upfront about having a fictional reason why they wouldn't do it.

Firstly, I don't think Khelds SHOULD be given the ability to customize their powers due to the story of them... after all, they all have powers from the same source, why wouldn't they be the same color?

Secondly, Given the fact that Granite is not able to be customized... that might be related to Khelds not getting customization. Simply because they don't want to allow customization of Kheld powers until they are able to allow them to color ALL of their powers. Of course, here you will say that Stone Armor was given customization options... why not Khelds? Perhaps the aura color on the Khelds would be just as unchangeable as Granite is, and therefore the power colors wouldn't match the form colors... and that bothers the Devs.

And despite what one may argue about color changing, I still think they could have thrown us a bone and allowed SOME animation choices like the solar flare stomp to the ground punch.

the one thing I`ve learned over the years is that just about everything they say they can`t do

they eventually do

I would actually want Kheldian colour customization exactly BECOUSE of theme and fluff reasons.

In the original City of Heroes comic book good Kheldian Horus was green in nova form while bad Nictus Requiem was red and had red tinted powers.

With me those colours clicked a lot more than in game white and purple.

Also I prefer aggresive "blapper" style that Peacebringers use compared to Warshade dork corpse leeching ones.

Making a red Peacebringer and switching him to villain side with Going Rogue would be a wet dream to me.

As I was playing my warshade, as opposed to some of my other chars, I was looking at the colors and why they couldn't be customized.

My only conclusion was this.

Most WS powers seem to be made up of 3 colors, magenta, purple, and dark blue (and red of it's the disorient toggle). Since all of the char creation divides in to 2 colors, we'd have to see a third color option pop up, and I'm not sure they want to deal with that. Seems kinda lazy, but I have no knowledge of the interworkings of computers and programming for this game, so that could be a miserable thing for them.

Can't say for PBs, never played one.

There are many powers across many powersets that currently use a third color. That third part isn't tintable there either.

I kinda want to have my Warshade use Peacebringer colors because I like the way PBs look, but hate how they play.
