The reason you can't is because they are what they are. You can't make up what the powers represent because they have a set origin and storyline. So making a WS's attacks look like fire would make no sense, because that isn't what a WS's attacked are. They are dark soul stuff. PB's attacks are light. Nothing else. This is why they're called Epic ATs. Same reason you can't customize VEATs.
Whereas you can make Dark attacks look like blood, sand, or water. You can make Time look like smog, or Water like poison. Those are variable, but PB and WS powers are not.

darksoulness and even light comes in all types of colors. Not sure about the looking like fire part or how that would be done. But still dont explain why they cant make color customizations for them. Even if every PB/WS in storyline and player's rp storyline came from the the exact same place doesnt mean their powers, must no matter, what look exactly alike. EVen with the title of Epic, I sure dont feel epic. Like building an epic car and then get in and wonder why it only comes in silver. And they reply because it's epic.

Wow, quote of the week. I can't believe I overlooked this. Editing for kudos- I lol'd.
When I said make it look like fire, I was talking about coloring it yellow and orange and it then looking like fire. Because it would. Especially Mire.
Why not just lock the color palettes to bright for the bright one and dark for the dark one.
I believe the devs said a while back that power customization on Khelds would be difficult because the archetypes use way too many resources as it is, or something to that effect. In other words, it's strictly for practical reasons, not philosophical ones.
Quote:
Don't think it's a resource issue- It's the same reason why they put off pool power customization for so long. Because it's tedious work. At least with pools, WAY more people hate hasten than people who want more diversity for their Khelds.

Yeah now the kheldians can have matching haste effects.
Also, I really don't think that Khelds are in a position, performance wise, to be complaining about how "the colors can't be made pretty enough." There are much more important issues to discuss, and context is important.

You think anything that guy said is still relevant to the game? lol

Please show us how it isn't. I mean, clearly you're way more in the loop than a former dev could ever be. So you must know how it is each and every one of those challenges has been overcome, as well as what the priorities of the development team are. I await your detailed response.

Look around. The stuff that was too much for them back then isn't too much for them anymore. I'm pretty sure they'll figure out a way to do just about everything eventually, if enough people want it done.

I would enjoy a rich array of purples and maybe reds to color my powers with. That would be neat.

Even if they wouldn't give customization options, maybe introduce another Kheld to the storyline? I've been gone a year or so, so I'm still catching up to all the changes game-wide, but I do still think something new would be a welcome change.
