I've seen it speculated in quite a few threads now that we are expecting Going Rogue to be released in conjunction with Issue 16. Could someone recap for me why we think issue 16 (guessing that might be released October give or take a week), and not issue 17 (possible Feb - Mar. 2010)? Just wondering if its just us wishing for it or if i've just missed a lot of clues.

I believe the general thought is that releasing Going Rogue in October would be a good idea, since Champions Online is planning to launch in September.

real-time lighting possibly with real day/night cycles with the sun being an actual light source during the day and lamps and player cast powers casting lights in the dark, and an overhaul to their effects system to make it both prettier and customizable.

Ditto that for me , a lighting change like this would be sweetness. The indoor lighting on your character would be correct, not just making them dark because it's night time outside.

I agree. at least make us blink every once and a while 
Weather, I'd love to see! that would rock, but I put that on my doubt list.
Real time lighting, oh yeah! I want to see the walls of a dark cave shine blue when I send an energy bolt across the cavern!

Link please? Many people (including me) assume it's going to be i16 but I haven't seen any confirmation yet.

What I'd like to see... fingers for hands.
Better water.
Better "weather"... it doesn't have to dynamic or anything, just a bit better, sun/moon looking better, cloud looking more realistic... skies not looking grey and stuff.

Aw man, am I gonna have to update this antique?

We don't know.
Graphics updates can mean two things:
The devs have found a way to update the engine so that overall performance is increased. This would be new.
The devs are dumping more crud in to make everything prettier and more cluttered as they did with CoV and the subsequent CoH texture upgrades. This is the normal MO and what I expect to occur. This means that yes, everyone will need to upgrade in order to maintain the performance they have now.
I started a thread in the tech forum about this topic but no information of worth came from it.
We'll know when I-16 goes live and we log on to test.

This seems most likely.
Unless they have a super secret plan that is gonna make subs jump through the roof I doubt we'll see the "expensive" option.
As for the potential prophets, well it was pretty obvious after the PR fallout of MA that they would have to let something really big out of the bag.
a/ power customization
b/ side switching
Spin the wheel.. it turned out to be b/
That also doesn't factor in that b/ is the obvious choice considering side switching has been possible since CoV launched. Or have we all forgotten the occassional errant blue side player in the rogue isles and visa versa?
Also factor in that "that other game" has been boasting power customization that seems like it will far exceed what eventually happens in this game. You end up with:
1. The need for a really big announcement to put out the fire
2. One of Two big options
3. One of which the competiton is already pushing
4. The other, already in place, highly lauded, and something that the competiton can't offer.
While calling it is a bit better than predicting the sun will rise tomorrow, I doubt they'll be registering you as a paranormal

NOOOOO!!!! Only my incredible and netherworldly powers could have possibly been the cause of me seeing the probability of the devs continuing their normal MO with regards to the graphics engine used in this game!
How DARE you imply otherwise?!?!!?

Be well, people of CoH.
