Or they can surprise me. (I don't expect to be surprised.) |

On my force field/energy defender, I wanted to make the energy blasts with the same colors and the force fields (which I didn't change). But there's no way to find out what the Original colors are. As soon as you hit Customized, some sort of random colors comes up. Which then requires me to trial-and-error my way into matching the colors. (I've had to do this for several characters. The above is just one example. And I'm rarely pleased with the results, even after several iterations.) --NT |
IF they gave a monkeys, they'd have finished power customization ages ago, but the clearly don't so don't be expecting them to EVER get it done. Not without the dev who was the impetus for it in the first place.
I've wanted a Cerulean PB since i first heard of power Customization. Hell, at this point even though i'd hate it I'd pay PPs for it.

Unfortunately, Paragon has a habit of letting something "into the wild" and then abandoning it. Simple bug fixes (like the female heads on the Beast pack - yes, I will keep complaining about that, because I paid for that booster and I only play females for the most part) are considered too much time to spend. Actually continuing to develop and improve (lookin' at you bases, Alignment system!) seems way beyond the scope. And that is super sad. The idea that the way we're going to get Pool Customization is to have to buy new aspects of the power is just sad frosting on this sad cupcake. |

#1 on my wish list easily for power customization of epic pools.

See, I said about this being a half-***** job when power customization first came out and got shouted down by almost everyone for being ungrateful and how I should be happy for what they have done and be patient, they will get round to Power Pools etc in the future.
This was before it was even released.
I'm STILL waiting!
I hate the look of Hasten and Super-Speed but they are damn near ubiquitous, especially for me. I know builds can be made with Hasten but it's a bloody useful power that lots of people use, so why not sort it out??
Glad to see people are also wanting these things changing over. What's the point of having one of the games greatest features, the awesome costume creator, spoilt by the power pools?

I just want to be able to set Hasten to "No FX". I don't mind the activation animation (quite the opposite; I think it looks pretty badass), but the continuing FX are an eyesore that clash with just about every costume I've ever made.
If you didn't get a chance to watch the mega-ustream (or read the summaries), they answered a few power customization questions. From VK's 1st Massive summary:
|
Kheldian power customization is not a priority at the moment, it's still on the table, but the effort required could be better applied elsewhere for better returns. ... They do have tech in place to make Granite Armor customizable, but as a result it won't look as it currently does. |
Finishing Power customisation is massively important to me, it _constantly_ annoys me that thematically similar powersets can't be visually similar (like fire/fire/fire blasters for example) IMHO the critical ones are:
Power Pools
APPs
PPPs
In that order. I don't _care_ that code time and UI time are needed it should be a _trivial_ amount of code time (Yes write I software for a living) I love my Khelds and VEATs but don't have any need to alter their powers, they look fine and consistent as they are. Just think how much more popular path animation would be if they could be used as alternate PFX for superspeed or super jump. Imagine if the auras could be used as replacement PFX for teleport. This is stuff you can sell!

I'd love to have Fly customisable, from poses (come on, where's the traditional super man pose?) to different types of flight trails

Now, I realize that there are a lot of you reading this and calling fewmets on that statement, because everyone can see when a character turns on Granite Armor. However, the statement is correct, albeit incomplete.
Granite Armor does not have a visible power effect the way other powers do -- creating a glow or shape around the character. Granite Armor works the same way that a costume code or a Halloween costume does -- the Granite Armor character model replaces your character's model completely. And being a completely separate character model, all of its characteristics are inherently baked into it -- there's nothing to customize. In order to make Granite Armor customizable, the devs are going to have to change the fundamental mechanism of how this power works visually. Which isn't to say that it can't be done. Look at Animated Stone -- there are different character models for that depending on whether you want a rocky or crystalline pet. But the fact remains that it's going to be a lot more work to make Granite Armor customizable than it was to make other powers customizable, because the character's appearance isn't hooked to the power; it's buried in the game's rendering. |

There are three things I want...
- No FX for Hasten
- No FX for Superspeed
- Other kind of teleport eh...poses...
It are those three that keep me from creating some characters for which superspeed and teleport fits just perfectly. I normally do take hasten but only use it when necessary because it's so damn ugly.
