Good point. I'd read a little about that and, to be honest, I'm not sure I'll like the "user friendly" reorganisation of how AT and powersets are picked. But that's less important than the other side of the equation: For YEARS the development team has approach making additions to the costume creator UI with terror and dread, so maybe now that they have a brand new UI, they'll have a much easier time modifying it. What this means, in turn, is that pool and epic sutomization is one step closer to fruition, since the UI shouldn't be such a pain any more and most of the epic powers, at least, already have customization options in the powersets they come from.

The costume screen itself is grossly similar, but the style is changed, and things like the 'copy colors across entire costume button have moved.

I think you can ignore any of the 'playstyle' options to skip straight to the 'All ATs' list we have atm Sam.

So I've heard, and this will definitely make it a lot less cumbersome. I guess I can't really fault the developers for trying to simplify the system for new players, and as long as I can skip the "wizard" and make my characters directly since I know what I'm doing, all will be well in the world.|

The reason I bring this up, though, is it reminds me of Windows 7 settings. Instead of letting me, you know, fix my settings, Windows keeps asking me leading questions in an attempt to guess which setting I'm trying to change and what I'm trying to change it to. This is supposed to make it easier for 70-year-old people who've never seen a computer before in their lives administrate their own computers, but it is a horrible inconvenience for ME, because it hides the options I want in unintuitive places.

1) Were the costume parts organized any better?
2) Is there any better/quicker ways to select different costume parts (ie: mouse wheel support to scroll through the lists, assuming they're still lists)?
