Power Cust.: Stone Armor option

I'm thinking we probably won't get that until we get Granite Customization (hereafter known as GC), but I like the idea. I don't know if the crystal costume pieces are reflective in Ultra Mode (should check that...), but imagine how awesome it would be to turn into a giant reflective crystal behemoth? And metallic options would be cool too.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...
Brawler started a thread looking for input on how folks felt about replacing the existing Granite model and it looks like it's an all or nothing situation. If we get customizable Granite Armor we don't get to keep the current look.

Rumor has it that there's already something for new GA fx in the game files. Probably due for GR if I had to put money on it.

Could be. This thread isn't really about Granite Armor though. It's about metallic options for the other powers in the set to go alongside the crystal and lava options.

Wild Speculation: Due to Castle's past statements about Granite and Obsidius's statement regarding those unnameable secret gamefiles... Stone Armor will be overhauled. This will result in a nerfed GA but pretty much the rest of Stone Armor will ge buffed. At this point, BaB will put in new visuals for Granite so that it matches each of the other styles of Stone.
Also, /signed for metal looking Stone Armor, and then an fix to the animations in Claws to allow Claws/Stone or Stone/Claws (<-- once proliferated to Tanks).
Whoooo, I don't think any one of my posts has quite that much speculation and wild assumptions in it.
...How do nerfs and buffs correspond to changes in visuals?

Because one of the ways BAB discussed making Granite customizable was making it similar to the other armors... just chunks of rock that get added to your costume. This dovetails nicely with something Castle hinted at: making Granite much less powerful AND enabling it to used in conjunction with your other armors... hence my comments.
[Edit: I just looked, and can't find a statement anything like the one I attributed to Castle... I swear I recall him saying something along those lines, but I am at a loss when it comes to proof.

Let us replace the Granite graphic! No, wait, this isn't one of those threads.
What I'd like to see, especially now given Ultra Mode, is an option for Stone Armor with metallic lustre. As one sometimes finds in raw nickel, copper, and gold, for instance. Or in minerals such as pyrite.
