Issue 16
Pleeeeaaaase gimme an invite to the Beta!
This actually makes a lot of sense for this to be before GR - it'll be a big feature that'll already be in game by the time GR comes out, so it'll be another selling point to put on the box.

So there has been some speculation on the boards about the content of Issue 16, and its relationship to the Going Rogue expansion. Due to some poor link naming in the initial Going Rogue email, many of you are under the mistaken impression that Issue 16 will be Going Rogue.
I am here to set the record straight. Issue 16 is NOT Going Rogue.
But I can give you guys a hint at what Issue 16 WILL be all about:

More info on Issue 16 will be coming in July!

Oooh !!! - So they finally worked out a way of doing it huh - Impressive!, thats one brownie point clawed back from CO!.
Nice job Devs!.
Issue 16: Pimp my Imp
...alternatively, everyone who mistyped and said it was Issue 16: Going Rouge were nearer the truth.
Ohh here's a thing.
Those Imps are custom coloured which hopefully means that all summonable pets can be custom coloured...

ROFL! - I laughed at Olantern's comment on the US Posi-post you linked to Dr;

Issue 16 will feature a new enemy group, the Imps, a new powerset, Imp Mastery (including such powers as Summon Imp, Summon Bigger Imp, and Summon Imp Again), a new currency (Imp-Bucks) and Imp-Buck purchaseable Impgrades, and new Imp-themed zone, Impatia, which will contain a taskforce given out by the leader of all Imps, Imp-perious!

Nice!, looking forward to the customisation teased in Issue 16, in fact.... you could say I'm rather Imp-atient to see the full Issue notes.

As always Mother, your puns are Imp-peccable.
OP: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEE!
Yes, it's all well and good, but half of the problem with this game is content. It's all very well having Blue Fire Armour and yellow electrical melee but doing the same things over and over gets old real quick. Content>Customisation.
Hopefully it JUST won't be this, there'll be missions, TF's etc as well.

I agree, I'm just delighted as this was a feature that was known to be hard to Imp-lement, and the Devs should be congratulated on it.
But you are correct Miss Chief, maybe we should have a eye-candy to new content balance struck where that is the focus on alternative Issues. Still, hard to say what NCsofts plans are for new content delivery if we are gradually shifting towards a tendancy for paid for an expansion/new content model.
If I can change the colour of my Superspeed to blue for my Ice blaster.. I'll be happy. (Mind you put in a way to get prestige powerslide or similar that doesn't require searching ebay for the right game code and I'll be happy too).
I hope we can have a personal option to turn off the colourisation effects. I'm used to the colours as they are, and having seem a lot of REALLY VERY UGLY COSTUMES I'd rather like to avoid REALLY UGLY GARISH GLOWING EFFECTS EVERYWHERE. My eyes won't be able to take it.
Seriously, people can make the ugliest choices, and I really, really hate the idea of the game turning into a combination of Hello Kitty and dried blood.
�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
I hope there's actually an option to have no effects with powers - like Integration or Focused Accuracy.

lol, just lol
So CO and CoX devs are handing game features over from Cryptic to Paragon Studios and back again, lovely.
Not entirely new concept with the tintable powers though.
But erm, that's not the *major graphics overhaul* we're expecting to see any soon, or?
Remember September 2009 guys ...

But yeah thats just how cool it is.
Now give me a ton of new content NC and I will be giving you my money for a long time!

In that case I call shotgun on Pink FF Bubbles and Pink Phantom Army!
I do wonder how far you will be able to go with it. Is it the whole powerset which is the same colour or can you change individual powers?
And what about power pools etc as well??
If you can individual power colours then I will do multi coloured Bubbles and Phantom Army! Perfect for my Illusion/FF troller Apocalyptic Jester!
Imagine being charged by a bunch of phantoms that are yellow, pink and green!! Followed by a bunch of heroes with yellow and pink bubbles!
The enemies will be screaming "MY EYES! THEY BURN!!"

Its the whole power set.

GG, I would tell you that "I am killing you with my mind", but I couldn't find an emoticon to properly express my sentiment.

Hopefully they're just example names.
This is awesome news, but I'd really like to be able to amend the colours of my individual attacks - with fire, you could have the whole gamut of colours red, yellow, orange even to white hot if you so chose.
Since CO allows this per individual power, I'd say that it's a no brainer to do it the same way.

Would be a good way to use up all those free costume tokens that seem to stack up every issue.
Be interesting to see just how much we can customise though.
Be prepared for city of rainbows in the first week people!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
If we get power customisation in I16 ...... the lousy I15 is forgiven.....
Would someone be able to confirm if its the whole power set or if you can do each power individually?
Or is it too early to ask this?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!
But let me get this straigh in my head - if Going Rogue is due out sometime towards the end of this year and issue 16 is seperate and is due out before it.... then issue 16 must be due to hit us around late Augustish/Septemberish if they are going to have a bit of gap between that and Going Rogue.....
Who thinks there is a secret closed Beta for Issue 16 already going on??? Or am I getting TO over excited

Well thats a defo no no Dont they always tell us that beta starts soon beforehand to get people refreshing their inboxes constantly?
