Would It Be Possible To Change It So You Can See Customizations and Powers Before Purchase

I have a question for the developers. Would there be any way to change the character creator in the future so that you don't have to purchase the powerset or costume pieces until the power customization window.

This is especially important to me for powersets, but I think costume pieces would also be nice as well. The thing is I would really appreciate it if I knew exactly what I was buying before I bought it. I'll use Beam Rifle as an example. I would love to know what the powers are and what they do, what the beam rifle choices are and what the powers look like before deciding to buy it. That way I know if it is what I am really looking for.

As I say, costume pieces would also be nice so that I can see what powers look like with a costume before deciding to pay for it, but this is not as important to me personally (although I'm sure some people would say it is important to them). It's just generally nice to know what everything is like before you buy it.

I am sure this would not be a, "push a few buttons and its done" kind of thing, but if it is at all possible I think it would be a very nice addition to the character creator/store set up.

It already works that way for costume pieces.

Yep, yep, I understand what you're saying and I would definitely like to be able to go to the power customization screen with unlocked costume pieces and powersets!

Visuals are important to me and, you're right, you can't see the Beam Rifle weapon options without it (I hadn't thought of that, since I checked them out during Beta).

I'd also like to see the costumes with the powers as it does sometimes make a difference, not to mention it is good to see the costume being animated a bit (see how it looks, what may clip a bit and how-so and such).
Not a huge deal, but I would very much appreciate the ability to check out the powers in there, for certain.

I soooooo agree w/this.. I dont get on test server and play there so I had no clue what StJ looked like, nor do I have any clue what the powers do or how they animate. I had to goto youtube so see examples of them and still I was unaware what powers were being used generally nor what they're overall +/-'s were/are.

I got to see how they operate but still am unaware what they're bonuses or descriptions are. Not exactly a scaled example but its like making a purchase of something w/out ever seeing it, how it works, operates or is even compatable w/what it is you're looking for. Certainly makes for a buyer beware mindset when it should be a "look at our shinys, you know you want it!!!" design.

Beam Rifle and Street Justice were both day-one purchases because I got to see them in action and see how they worked before buying them in beta. If not for that, I doubt I would've been so eager. When a set has a $10 price tag, minor problems become major deal breakers. It's nice to know about these in advance, yes. I don't foresee myself buying any other new sets without more preview options.

I suggested as much, at least regarding unpurchased powersets, during Beta. I think it's pretty important to be able to see the powers and their customisation options before buying.

I use the test/beta servers to check things out before I buy them.
