Here's your DOOM: Yet another issue will go by with no new content for level 50 characters it seems, as we know the Invention System isn't coming until Issue Nine. Issue Nine, well, we won't be seeing that until something like April of 2007.
All in all, I'm very dissapointed in this, and I know its going to influence some folks in my SG to suspend their accounts.

A doom late and a dollar short.
We've known since the Positron radio announcement thingy that Inventions was coming out in Issue 9, haven't we? I mean, this isn't exactly news as of today and this very thread.

You're confusing things here.
Until this thread, we did not know that the Legends System and the Invention System had been merged. In May, Positron gave an interview to the website Boomtown, in which he said this:

Q: What do you mean by fat loot?
A:
In the next update, Issue 8, we will have a new system that gives us the ability to make your level 50 characters better. That means weve abandoned the idea of raising the level cap to 60 for now and instead will give you the option to make your level 50s better, then better again and then even better. That process will last a lot longer than additional 10 levels, which just create a new problem: What to do after hitting level 60?

We did not know that the system he was talking about here has been rolled into the invention system, since he was specifically refering to content for level 50 characters.
So yeah, this is news.

I suspect the faceplant would not have been mine 
I am Airman America... Super Hero... and I approve this message!
Ok, so the crafting system will be how we advance after lvl 50. It could be great, but it will have to be implemented well.
However, there is the flip side to that. Once we have a way to improve ourselves, we need challenging encounters that go along with it. And these encounters need to have a decent reward in and of themselves to make them worth while (like high end salvage drops). So far, all we have been told about is a Statesman TF. There needs to be a lot more than that.
My vote would be to revamp the Rikti Crash site. It is usually a dead zone anyways. I would add some contacts, implement a trial, and ramp up the difficulty of the zone. Perhaps from there, have a tf into the rikti home world that is insanely hard.
Add a few sg raid mishes as well while your at it.
Is this a sneak peek into this new system by any chance?

Clintonian lied to me! Say it aint so.
In all fairness, that Boomtown interview was in May, before even I7 was released. Some things have changed since then, like:
[ QUOTE ]
What will the planned retail expansion next year introduce?
The expansion will let heroes and villains team up against a common foe.
It can be run from any of the games and there will be no extra subscription fee. Its also build into the system of making better level 50 characters, however there is going to be content for all level ranges. There will also be a new power set for each of the existing archetypes including tanks and scrappers.
[/ QUOTE ]
Now there's no retail box; that content will be rolled into other releases.
Schedules and plans can change overnight, regardless of how much breath-holding is done. With everything else comming in I8, like Safeguard missions, Police Band, the revamped Faultline, Vet Rewards, etc., there will be enough to keep me occupied until the I9 Invention System
Speaking of a newer Boomtown review, I just found this Oct 4th interview on the General Discussion boards.
From the interview:
[ QUOTE ]
We understand that the invention system has been taken out of Issue 8. Can you give us a) an idea about the current status of the system and b) a couple of examples as to what players can use the system to invent?
Issue 9 is all about inventions, Ill be explaining it in more detail after Issue 8 goes to the Live servers.
