Invention system, probably. Also likely to have other level 50 content.
Inventions
Isn't Statesman's TF in I9 by Posi's words?
Between that and inventions, it could be a cool issue.

That invention system has dogged the poor man for well over a year now. Maybe once it goes live and the game world is committed to one system, he can finally sleep at night. 
Poor poor sweepy statesman... ;.;

What's he most excited about? Keeping players here through another issue, so during Issue 9's developmental phase he'll be so excited about Issue 10.

I bet the Statesbaby has more to do with his lack of sleep.

I think that's just a ruse! He doesn't want to let on how much he really does care about the skills/invention system!
And don't you dare bring up the arch-enemy and legend systems. The man is weary enough as it is! 
States, go put your feet up and have a Zagnut bar on us! You've earned it buddy!
Invention system? What about the Legend System? or whatever it was called.

One in the same now, I believe.
Personnaly, I can't wait to see how the invention system works.

No, they're separate systems.
Inventions = crafting
Legends system = level 50 content
There may be some overlap, but they aren't the same thing.

Really? I recall hearing the legends system had been scrapped in favor of the Invention system.
I might have heard wrong though.
Xer
That was the skill system that was scrapped.

The Legends system wasn't scrapped since we are "apparently" going to see the start of it in I8.
Since it wasn't mentioned in the game update, and we haven't heard a peep from Cryptic about it since May, I'm not so sure we'll see Legends system or any sort of post-50 content in I8.
I'd like to be wrong about that though.

Hey we can always hope that's why I8 was delayed
I haven't really given any though to how inventions might work in CoH, but now that I am... I hope it's similar to the character creation system.
You know, you choose a functionality (jet pack, for instance), then mix and match available pieces to "design" your specific jet pack. The same way you pick a set of powers for your character, then mix and match pieces to create a costume.
Well, we could, but I'm just going to operate on the assumption that its not happening until I see it announced in a Features Update.
I wonder if the furor over another issue with no content for level 50s would be worse than the furor over vet. rewards.

Dunno, but it'd be nice to at least have them tell us it got pushed back for whatever reason rather than having it be a surprise when the Issue goes up. Probably not going to be happy people either way, but at least it gets it out of the way so the focus can be on the testing.

Weren't Incarnates supposed to be Issue 9 or Issue 10?
Virtue: multiple characters.
CoH/V: Woot! Maybe Fun is to be had once again.
Ack! RUN! Regen is glowing mean & green!
If it reduces you, it's a nerf.
If it buffs the mobs, it's challenge.
They are not the same.

Part of it may be the different versions of skills that have gone through development only to be scrapped at some point, like the SSOCS.

Poor regen.
I hope we get some details about the I8 lv 50 content soon.

Statesman is excited about Issue 9 because of the new technology that allows them, finally, to actually make Hickman wear pants. ALL of the time.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
