Positron was totally hinting at power customization when he was taling to us in pocket D during the anniversary event.
But using "sysems" rather than "system" is interesting - if they're adding power customization, that'd count as a single large system, I think - but then what would be another system that'd allow greater customization?
The only thing I can come up with right now is some kind of shapeshifting.

He did indeed hint heavily at something like this happening and the use of the word "systems" is interesting.
Pure speculation on my part but as the article is by Christopher Bruce could this mean customisation of powers - e.g. colours, certain animations and weapons. Other guesses could be different body shapes in different costume slots, shape shifting I think was hinted at, perhaps even perhaps choices in the character creator - e.g. more colours/combinations for cossie parts etc.
Anyway I'm excited at the thought of the possibilities and it does say within the next few months

If this is what I suspect it is, it's yet more confirmation on stuff I've known since just before Christmas. This makes me happy as it means the rest of it is even more likely to be true now!

Surely it's going to be the huge body type for females?

Ok, I have to ask FFM, what do you think it is?
With this news and of course GR, suddenly I'm not too worried about i15 being pretty light

Well, going from what I heard some time ago, it may include full power colour customisation, and a chance of some form of power animation customisation as well.
Of course, I'm not going to commit to that being definite; but my information also included Going Rogue, new zones (no detail specified), and a retail expansion box, so...

I'd be amazed if it wasn't power customisation at this point. Will be interesting to see how its implemented. I kind of like how I know what a power is just by looking at it. I wonder how difficult that is going to become. Oh and I hope it extends to MM henchmen!

That would be cool, if it is the case...also my "pure speculation" may not been far off the mark

Not just you - in the announcement thread Avatea stated that they were looking at the problem.
Though as that was c.7 hrs ago I'd guess that the people looking at it have all gone to bed and we've got a broken version until the US awakes again.

Probably a Ponygirl MasterMind-powerset, with (the long requested) whips and a chariot for a travel power.
In all seriousness, Re: the OP, I'll go for colours/emote animation customisation, Pets customisation and textures thrown into the Costume Creator.
I just thought I'd point this out to you all.
From the article:
[ QUOTE ]
While all of these added customization options are part of the immediate content going into Issue 15, its really only a sampling of a much larger picture as hinted by the recent announcement of the Going Rogue expansion. Our players can expect to hear some very exciting news about the new, much larger systems weve been working on to support and expand the customization aspect of City of Heroes within the next few months.
