Colouring problems with Water Blast

I tried to customize Water Blast, and had 2 problems:

1) I go to Blue Steel and want to change my costume. I do not change the actual costume at all, but I try to customize the Water Blast powers. I set it to Bright, and chose white for both colours for the whole powerset. I pay for the changes and leave. When I then cast Whirlpool, it doesn't look like the white/white I just chose, it looks more like black/white - the splashes are bright, but the swirl itself is definitely not white. The other powers I've got so far seem to look like white/white, though I am not sure about Aqua Bolt (seems a bit dark when exploding).

2) When I then go back to Blue Steel to customize my powers again, all the Water Blast powers are set to red. Always. I have to chose Bright again, and have to recolour them to white/white. Every time. Although I paid for the changes last time. Recolouring the powers this way does not solve the problem I described above at 1).

I am not in SG mode. I don't even have a SG.

I tried relogging, and restarting the game.

I do not use Ultra mode, and I do not experience those problems with any other power set.

Any ideas?

Change at least one costume piece along with your powers for the game to actually save the changes.

It doesn't work, I've removed a back pack on one costume & added a brooch on another, my power colors are still unchanged.

From the GMotD when I logged in today:

We are aware of the following Known Issue regarding Power Customization

Tailor - Power Customization

* Water Blast and Beam Rifle are resetting their power customization colors when you pick the brightest white as either primary or secondary color.

* This bug will still take your character’s Inf or free Tailor token and make undesired color changes.

* If you do select the brightest white, just back out of the tailor window to avoid paying for unwanted changes.

* Players are able to customize these powers to all other colors besides the bright white in the upper right corner.

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.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

EDIT: ah ok, there it is, weird corner case = brightest white. Stuff happens.



Are there other options that might be "corner cases?" Do you have a weapon for example? What power pools do you have?

For a while I couldn't change my costume on my master mind. There was a bug that prevented Robotics (which has a pulse rifle weapon) with Mace Mastery (which has a weapon too, the Arachnos Mace) from saving. So weird stuff like that can mess you up.

It might be a particular piece in the costume creator too, I suppose, that is preventing you from saving. Try saving your costume, then reload it to make sure it was saved. Then change your costume completely to something like "bare." Change your power colors too, and see if that sticks. If so, it was one of the costume pieces. You might have to play around with it to figure out which one.

Well I didn't do any extensive tests at the costume creator, I just noticed the false colouring.

But after reading the ingame message, also quoted by Texas Justice, I think it is a server side or engine problem.

I'll just colour my Water Blast powers the second brightest white, and wait until the problem is solved.

Just for the record, I tried 10joy's suggestion and changed an actual costume piece, it didn't help me with the problem.

Thx all for your answers!
