Synapse: We've been focused on getting ranged blast sets up to par first they have had issues since issue 0.
Synapse: MM's are.. in the grand scope of things relatively "new" (yes he used finger quotes) I know that sounds like a cop out but um... So we defadently want to look at it just a matter of again having time to do it.
Synapse: There is a lot of reasearch we have to do to make shure we can do that well.
Zwill: Brings up pet AI and pathing and says that they know it sucks but it's a real pain to change it.
Synapse: Some of the issues go beyond just simple AI brains. So sometimes a lot of issues are what are called stance issues. And that's where you see a critter get stuck in just doing melee or just doing ranged attacks and forgetting their other powers. That's something we defadently just need to fix. And that would be something that when we do the MM revamp or balance that we would do.
Then Zwill brings up improvements Arb Hawk made to Jack Frost and Gun drone power use.
Captain Den'Rath 53* Merk/Traps MM, Rivona 50Energy Blast/Time Cor,Victoria Von Heilwig 53* Dual Pistols/Traps Cor, Crab Spider Webguard 53* SOA, Accela 53* Bot/FF MM,Valkyrie's Executor 53* Broadsword/Shield Def Scrap. On FREEDOM! @Knight Of Bronze

Color Customization for pools has been an issue for me since I turned on full particle effects last year, whereas I've wanted to recolor my Warshade since I rolled him (Sunless Mire is the coloring I want, on a global level).

I would hold on, though. If they are doing Pools and Epic pools, it's only natural epic ATs are next.

Yeah, in Issue 32.

Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.

woot! finally, yay for customization options!
now i can make my epic pools match!

This is pure speculation, but I think power customization stalled after the launch of the original feature, for anything but new powers that is. |

Originally there were concerns about GUI work needed to accomodate powers, but I figured the day I realized Incarnate abilities are customizable that this was no longer a roadblock.
Work seems to have been going strong on this and I am guessing for a while now. EATs may just not be ready for the i24 deadline, but I hope this is indeed ongoing and we may finally get these looked at by I24.5 or 25.
As a side note, I saw in the video that there will be 3 tabs for power customization, primary/secondary, pools, and incarnate. I just have to say I'm sooooo glad they didn't just try to shoehorn all the pools onto the same screen as everything else.
This is very good news. Glad to hear it.
Perhaps this means that in the near future we'll see altnate animations for Power / Epic Pools, and hopefully more of Epic Power Pools added to the game (the selection is sorely lacking these days in comparison to all the new Power Sets released over the past few years).
Looking forward to doing more color customizing on my toons. Thank you, Devs!

Some of the t5 powers in those pools looked rather nice. Like the t5 healing thnat gives plusses on damage, endurance mod and health! Or the t1 presence power that basically is a "find another enemy" button for those cases that a big nasty bad guy has escaped the attention from the tanker.

61866 - A Series of Unfortunate Kidnappings - More than a coincidence?
2260 - The Burning of Hearts - A green-eyed monster holds the match.
379248 - The Spider Without Fangs - NEW - Some lessons learned (more or less.)

The concern of EATs could possibly have some hope since they said that Patron Powers will be customizable. That's, at least, a leaning towards not being held by lore to define/lock the colors.
I'm not personally for or against Kheldians getting customization. I'm okay with them limiting it, but any time I have had conversation about it from those that would like the options, I can't argue against it. 
Options are usually better, in my opinion. May as well make the players happy on that one, since light and their powers can really be any color with great ease of explanation (if necessary).

I am pleased by this turn of events.
Cannot express how happy this makes me. Making glowie hands and patron insignia disappear finally...JOY!

Now if they only add a martial arts seconday for blasters in I24 would be a dream issue.
Everything looks amazing so far.
We just need to tell them to just erase the tri-corder and let us characters just heal without getting any gadget out. Its just plain ugly right now.
Cant believe we are going to be able to tint patron powers and ancillary Mu mastery, here I go. I HATE the red lighting.
Im super excited for I24. I need the I24 overview.
Dear devs: you have made me very happy.
VERY happy indeed.
