Yesterday I finally made a TK Blade (Ego Blade / Id Blade) character. I loved that you could change the default color of these energy weapons (similar to how you can change weapon skill colors). Yet I was shocked to discovered that the TK Blades only have a single shape option for their appearance.

Why do all of the other melee weapon and ranged weapon classes get different Costume Unlock options and TK Blades don't? While I'm sure that someone could try to make the argue that you're using a "power" and not a "weapon", that's just splitting hairs.

In the State of the Game address, I noticed that CO was going to be releasing some melee and ranged weapon skin packs for our Costume appearances. For the record, I would love it if you could add some TK Blade options in with those skins. My own personal choice would be some kind of chakram appearance (since I'm running a Tron: Legacy character), but I'm be willing to take almost anything at this point.

The problem with TK Blades is that they change appearance depending on the rank of the power, one of the reasons I haven't upped any TK Blade power to rank 3 is because I prefer the rank 2 appearance.

According to an official post on the PTS, you'll be able to customize the Ego Blade look, so feel free to go to R3 :)

Going along with this: It's implied that with that change, the rank of the power will no longer determine the look. On top of that, Id Blades are being made a 0-point advantage on both Ego Form and Mental Discipline (new melee toggle for TK), so you don't have to dual-wield if you don't want to, and it costs you nothing if you do.

However, the costume options didn't get finished until late, and they aren't (afaik) in the current build on the PTS.

WOO! My I'll love this on my main, she learnt to fight with a broadsword so her thinking of scimatars instead of broadswords when fighting felt too wrong for me to upgrade to rank 3.
