Power Customisation Update

The following powers can now be customised in the "Inherent" tab:

• Inherent
  •  Sprint
  •  Prestige Power Slide
  •  Prestige Power Surge
  •  Prestige Power Rush
  •  Prestige Power Quick
  •  Prestige Power Dash
  • The above all have original, light, dark, and minimal FX themes, and the customised versions of the prestige sprints have the dust cloud removed

If this is more work than it's worth don't worry about it, however, all of these do not have a preview with the exception of the slide. Would it be a problem to get a preview of these in color customization?

n the tailor, a new  Stance power in the Inherent tab will allow you to select one of the following stances:

• Default
• Ninja
• Beast
• Slide

 

Very impressive, and I can't wait to see this on live! Thank you VERY much for this, Devs. Damn fine work and so glad you guys also pay attention to the little things! Many of us will very much appreciate this!

Love it.

Any chance you could add steam jump and jump pack animations and audio into customization?

Would be great to run them on silent with no visuals to make hover characters seem like they're flying at speed unaided.

Seconding this.

For teleport animations, it could be cool to have options to use the Translocate or Jaunt graphics with other teleports.  The temp power teleport animations could work for each other or regular Teleport pool as well. 
The Whirlwind speed power animation could work for teleporting or flying.  
new teleport or flight animations could be made from auras.  On the tech side, things like the 'Matrix cascade' or 'pixels' could work, or for magic, a runes aura that's attached to the travel power would be great if you wanted standard Flight to look like Mystic Flight.

Different TP “skins” is a neat idea.

One thing that stood out to me just hopping in there to try out some of the new stuff is that, for the Prestige Power Slide aura at least, the Dark colors are quite a bit dark.  Like, it seemed like the colors I chose were barely making any difference.

That seems to be my experience with "dark" for almost every power I try that settingt on, so this would be par for the course.

Fantastic job, guys!

 

I was hoping to proliferate the Beast animations somehow so I could use it in combination with Combat Jumping and Super Jump, and now I can fit those into my build while maintaining the Beast animations.

 

Excellent work!  Plus, the sprint customizations opens up a whole slew of new possibilities!  I think someone mentioned ice sliding ala Frozone which sounds awesome.

Question for the devs: do the changes made here make it possible to customize the visuals of IO procs, or is that even more work to code?
