It's hard to get excited over an issue that contains no new content.
[/ QUOTE ]
'Other features to be announced.'
I remember plenty of other Issues where people have said 'there has to be more than this', but this is the first time I've seen them actually SAY so.
So, we know for a fact there's more to I16 than two eagerly anticipated player-demanded features and a whole heap of power proliferation.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, they've said 'Other features to be announced.' in many other issues. The thing is that the initial press release has the vast majority of the features and the stuff announced later is minor in respect.
[/ QUOTE ]
Have to say based on history usually this is the case.
But history really hasn't mattered lately.
[/ QUOTE ]
I hope history is wrong in this case. It would be a tough pill for me to swallow if the only dev created mission content for 2009 was the TF and SF from issue 15.
At least, I can not think of any other dev created mission content from the last two updates. Did I miss any???
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course they could be aiming for FOUR issues this year. 
Blazara Aura LVL 50 Fire/Psi Dom (with 125% recharge)
Flameboxer Aura LVL 50 SS/Fire Brute
Ice 'Em Aura LVL 50 Ice Tank
Darq Widow Fortune LVL 50 Fortunata (200% rech/Night Widow 192.5% rech)--thanks issue 19!
[ QUOTE ]
I'm thinking the same as MG. You'll probably get the "theme" and the "individual customization" choices just like particle powers.
2 story arcs in Issue 13.
I feel ya, though. The developer content output has been very disappointing.

Wasn't 13, 2008 though?

And 2 story arcs? Wasnt there [hero side] 3 level 20 - 25s and 2 cimerora ones?
Was there more? I only know about the cim ones. It was the only new content I got on my 50s, but I've noticed on new characters some new dame got added to Midnight Club along the way.

I really hope Travel and Ancillary powers are made customizable. I would love to be able to make the Power Glide an icy blue for my Ice Blaster.
[/ QUOTE ]
I've been praying for this for a while. I would like to be able to remove the annoying sound of steam from my flight, or the annoying look of it from some characters who I would personally like to have flying by other means, and not have to waste a costume slot to add an aura or something to get the appearance.

Four issues this year may be possible, but I think the content folks have been working on something else: Going Rogue.
I'm expecting a great deal of new content in the expansion. And if it comes out this year, I'll be very happy.

THe only thing I'm worried about is the one article I read that said "with power customization comes people hurling brown fireballs to resemble fecal matter..." (paraphrased). God lets hope someone doesnt make that hero "Sh!tman" or "Skidmark"....

Those two will be first out of the gate, as they all collide in a doorway a la the Three Stooges with Fecal-Matter Man. [sigh]

Word is that Positron was going to have the Restraining Order sent to you prior to this announcement. Then someone in accounting tallied all you'd spent on this game- and all you'd probably spend due to this Issue... and decided he'd just have to "take one for the team."

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Wonder what they mean by "theme".
[/ QUOTE ]
Doh. I guess they explained it in the next sentence:
[ QUOTE ]
These themes will allow for color tinting of geometry and particle effects such as energy blast colors and force field colors.

[/ QUOTE ]
That will make it easier for me to fix all my characters' improperly-colored Radiation powers. Real nuclear reactors glow blue. The popular idea of green radioactivity dates back to radium paint, which was used for clock dials and glow-in-the-dark signs in 1920s. Later, when the hazardous effects of radiation were discovered, the green glow got its new meaning.

What makes me happy is the ability to turn my Fire blaster's flames to white or blue showing just how HOT his higher powers really are. My biggest question is, is this something we will be able to change after character creation at the tailor (like costumes) or are we stuck with it forever... or is it an option every time we get a new power?
As much as this is cool and all....
my main is a Bots/Traps
So I basically got the shaft on this spectrum thing. Which is sad, because I strongly desire the opportunity to tint my pets.
And of course the simple question of what can we expect the wait time on this to be? 3 months? 4?
And "Other features to be announced" makes me happy. LIKE WE NEED ANY OTHER ONES!!

Oooo.. I'll SO be in Icon with all my guys, it will be Icon right?
More than one new alt too. I have even a new villain in mind. If you know me, this is about as excited I get.

Radiation blasters sound cool, as do traps defenders.
But for Scrappers and Tanks, if the electric melee is the same underperforming substandard crap version that Stalkers and Brutes have, then "meh"...if it's a bit closer to the blaster version then it'll be fine. Personally I was really hoping for SS, Axe or Mace for scrappers.
I bet they have new buildings for us to go to for Power Customization as opposed to simply going to the tailor.

I imagine you're wrong. It's going to be just like choosing costume parts so... why wouldn't the tailors do it? Maybe you'd have to go to a specific NPC in the tailor building, sure, but a whole new building is unnecessary.

@Razoras
Blue? That would be cool to see.....
*raises hand* I think it would be nice to customize how Ice Shields, Bubbles, and etc. look on yourself, rather than inheriting the colors from the person who casts it on you.

They would be shooting themselves in more feet than they have on the whole team if the customizing wasn't about the banana geometry.

I know more than a few of us (myself included) have though for a long time that Spines should have been included when weapon customization was introduced.
It would be a pretty big oversight not to include the spines themselves in the powers customization issue.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
