Let there be Color Devs


Black Zot

Now I know that someone somewhere on this vast forum may have suggested this, but I will suggest it once againto the DEVS. Can you please please please let us be able to change the colors on.

1)Power Pools - Mainly the speed pool. Especially Hasten. Nothing is worse then making a concept or color scheme for a character but having those ugly orange glow hands. Like Ice toons. Just saying.

2) Ancillary and Patron Powers. This may be tricky but I know there has to be a way to let us change the colors as detailed above.

I think with everything else we can have on are toons that this is a long time coming. I have all these ideas in my head but just cant stay in concept when the color of powers are locked like that.

So pleeeeeaaaasssseee make this happen!
Thanks

Requests that are relevant to the FX field: CHECK!

Drama-free posts: CHECK! (And THANK YOU!)

You guys are making some fantastic suggestions, a couple of which may already exist and are awaiting their release into the wild.

A few people have asked about the Clunker aura in the Steampunk pack, specifically if the oil path can be separated from the flying cogs, and vice versa. Yes, it can. It is also color customizable. On the same note, I greatly appreciate all the suggestions for future Path Auras. Many are doable. Since it’s been asked, path auras are not limited to “decals” on the ground, and can contain rather complex particle movement. So things like fire, smoke, frost, bugs, etc., are completely in the realm of possibility.


Also, what the… you guys don’t like Hasten?

I’m kidding.

I’ve seen a metric ton of requests for pool/epic/ancillary powers customization. (And no, asking for it is not breaking the rules at all.) I’m a long way from promises on that one, but all I can say right now is that your requests have been noted, underlined, and bolded, as have qualms with the default travel power effects.

Apologies for the short post, but today is a busy day. I’ll try to address more of your stated requests and concerns in the coming days.

Please check the Dev Digest at least once in a while.

God forbid a person not obsessively read each and every single post a dev makes. That post was over a month ago, maybe the OP returned after that? I check the Dev Digest on a regular basis and even I missed that one, so maybe chill out a touch.

I think some players obsessively refresh the Dev Digest and Community Digest every 10 seconds hoping against hope that they'll finally say they are considering or looking into supporting X-Box, PS3 or Linux.


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.

I dont agree with the way it was said, but the point remains that the link is a relevant answer.

It's not a question of "letting" us. It's a question of adjusting the system and then doing the graphics work. With luck, the fact we can customize Incarnate powers is a step along the path and we will get what we want sooner than later.

If he did that he wouldn't be the Je_Saist we know and love. Okay not love but if he changed we'd all be wondering who the hell took over his account and what the heck they did with him.

With or without the party prep?

Question: what in my post makes you think that I'm in need of "chilling out"

Question: what makes you think that is that difficult to "check" the Dev Digest at least every once in a while?

Question: what makes you indicate that seeing if the Developers who work in Artwork have said anything requires an "obsessive" reading of every single post.

I'll be blunt DarkGob. From your wording and extended hyperbole, I think you are the one in need of "chilling out"

So you don't like that I pull no punches? You don't like that there have been entire threads devoted to slagging me because of how often I've been right?

Get over yourself.

I suspect there would be no question as to who attacked me.

I was making a joke regarding the volume of trash talk aimed at you on a regular basis.

Get over YOURself.

You are exceptionally rude where it is not called for. Your entire post would have been at least 50% less rude if you had left off the smug comment at the end about checking Dev Digest "at least once in a while". Or you could have just said, "The devs have put this on their Want To Do list but there's currently no timetable." See? Delivers the exact same point, but it's nicer.

There have been threads devoted to you about how often you've been "right", beyond the tech forums?

Links or it didn't happen.
