Customized MA animations? Could this mean punches?
I hoped for this, but never expected it to actually happen!
Best change ever:
Updates to the difficulty settings so you can spawn all maps for teams of 8 at +4 combat level.
Awesome. Pure awesome.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

Not only does the newly updated Character Creator allow players to jump directly between Archetype, Powersets, Costumes and Character ID in any order without losing progress

YESSSSSSSSSS
I've always hated having to jump all the way back to change something (hopefully this also includes Origin; I'm the type of person who WILL reroll if my character concept changes after I picked Origin and I forgot to go back to change it).

AR for Defenders... sweet! 
The new character creator is another thing from the marketing survey... its predictive power improves!

Awesome announcement overall!!
I find myself wondering how much they had to tweak Claws to get it to fit the Brute AT though. Claws is a very fast power set and combined with the Brute's fury damage bonus that could be... sincerely awesome..

My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw

Powerset Proliferation - More powersets are now in the hands of Archetypes who couldn't use them previously! Blasters will have access to Radiation Blast, Brutes will get their Claws on, Controllers can now freeze it up with Cold Domination, and Corruptors get to feel the "twang" of Archery and Trick Arrow. Defenders can go high-tech with Assault Rifle and Traps, and Dominators can pulverize their enemies with Earth Assault. Masterminds heat things up with Thermal Radiation, Scrappers and Tankers get ready to fry their foes with Electric Melee and Electric Armor, and finally Stalkers get to swing their own mighty Broadsword.

A/TA corruptors?
One of my biggest complaints about my TA/A defenders is the low damage. This might be a nice alternative.

LOL a certain someone vehemently disagreed with this when it was made as a suggestion by myself and others in the suggestion forum. Let's see what they have to say now.
Even if such an option reduces the rewards in a missh when you are solo, I would still whole heatedly use the new difficulty options.

Agreed so, soooooo much on that. I leveled a character to 12, only to realize he was Natural (What I typically choose by default) when I wanted magic. Rerolled him.
Oh yeah, and also, did anyone else notice that they refer to choosing both color, AND theme for powers? I'm thinking an arcane rune blasting, er, blaster is possible.

Wonder what they mean by "theme".
Am i correct in thinking that with the new difficulty setting, an 8 man team can face even harder enemies? Or will it mostly benefit people NOT in a full team?
At first, I was happy to hear about Brutes getting claws (aside from all the awesome customization stuff), but then it dawned on me that Tankers are gonna be getting Electric Melee. I'm now very happy.

Doh. I guess they explained it in the next sentence:

These themes will allow for color tinting of geometry and particle effects such as energy blast colors and force field colors.

That would be so awesome, and way better than a new all-punching set. You could mix and match and have punches AND kicks!
I'm also really surprised at the Super Strength option, I wonder what we'll get?

My Warshade has been shelved for a while because I can't find it challenging enough solo, and a team doesn't like it when I wonder off and kill stuff solo. Now I can do a team's work solo!
