A Question about Epic powers...

I was just wondering if there was any plan to allow players to change the color schemes of the Epic Power Sets?

Was rather surprised, and pleasantly at that, Incarnate power colors where changeable... just seems logical they would have by now allowed Epics the same flexibility.

There were issues with allowing Power Pool and Epic powers to be customized. If you take a look at your Incarnate powers, you'll see that you can customize EVERY power you've unlocked, even if you haven't crafted that one yet. The working theory among the playerbase is that the part of the system that customizes your powers can't tell what pool(s) you've selected, so in order to allow customization, they'd have to crap every power pool, every ancillary, and every patron (even if you haven't unlocked patrons yet!) into the power customization screen.

The devs have said that they know that we pant pool/epic customization, and that they want to give it to us, but it's not going to happen until they bypass the technical hurdles.

the main hurdle seems to be UI related

What I don't get is why cant they do the UI the same way the do character select and let you "side scroll" to each power pool to customize. That way you only have one or two powersets at a time on the screen.

It seems alot easier to manage than tons of collapsible lists.

I'm under the impression that they don't HAVE a UI programmer, so any additions like that would have to be hacked together by a programmer from a different department. While it could be done, it wouldn't be nearly as clean, efficient, or bug-minimal (because bug-free just plain doesn't exist ANYWHERE) as if it were done by a proper UI programmer.

I figured there was a reason why not lol. Glad to hear they hope to change in the future.
