Excellent addition of the enhanced difficulty selection - suggested both a team size selector (for MA testing if nothing else) and individual selection of spawn size/level difference. So good to see this coming.
A decent selection of power proliferation.
Be good to know if there will be any mission/TF content though... Good as the I15 TF/SF are, it feels like very little story progression has happened outside of TF/SFs for so long. And with big events meant to be coming I'd have hoped the story progressed a little in preparation (and was clearly seen to progress, even if exactly where it was going wasn't realised by the players). But I guess that may come under the 'other features to be announced'.
Odd that there was no mention of colour selection, though there was something to do with 'colors'

I find that preferable to fill requests (not that I see that much anymore though) and it will be all around useful when soloing as well

Oh great... another meh one. Woo-friggin-hoo.
At least the new PL tool will divert farmers from MA, finally sounding its death knell.
Bet they won't see it coming...
Here's hoping the other features to be announced actually have some, well for lack of a better term, meat to them.
I'd golfclap, but I can't muster the enthusiasm for it.

MA Arcs: Apples of Contention - 3184; Zen & Relaxation - 35392; Tears of Leviathan - 121733 | All posts are rated "R" for "R-r-rrrrr, baby!"|Now, and this is very important... do you want a hug? COH Faces @Blue Rabbit
This new "pl" tool will actually encourage more soloing personally, as the xp will be a little better per mission. I am fully excited about these changes and customization abilities 
As the oh wise noob says, bring on tha beta
Finally I can make an archery/trick arrow corruptor!
Looking forward to that!
If CO did not exist at all, I would be overjoyed!
Now I'm just joyful.
Yep even tho fill requests have died down significantly its nice to be able to have a mission that is "full" regardless of team size if you wanted.
I can't see me caring bout power customization unless the power pools are customizable.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
It sounds like a v e r y nice issue!
Sounds like a very nice feature. Finally Power customisatio nand more powers to play with!
HOWEVER
The last bit is a Farmers paradise (once again).
There will be lots of farmers running like crazy around with differculty settings higher then normal (or heroic).
One man teams farming farming farming...
Good thing is. Less chance of being asked to join a farm team (thumbs up).
Bad thing: More influence in the game and higher prices at ww/bm.

But it could help push down the prices of purples since the supply of them is so low.

Laughs at some of the Issue titles almost used;
# Power Conductor.
# Hell Freezes Over.
# Taste The Rainbow.
# Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
# Going Rouge. (too confusing vs. Going Rogue)
When Pigments Fly. (this was nearly the winner apparently!)
(Via Posi's Twitter feed).
Dont forget Thermal Radiation for MM!
The invasion of the flaming Zombies is here!!!!!

All in all... sounds pretty damn awesome Fluff, but awesome fluff.
EDIT: And "Going Rouge" would have been my top pick for issue title!

Just when you thought the customisation in City of Heroes® couldn't get any more expansive...
Paragon Studios is proud to announce Issue 16: Power Spectrum which contains one of the most requested features asked for by players - the ability to color customize powers! With the new Powers Customisation system you can choose from a virtual rainbow of colors in order to change the appearance of your power effects.
But that's not all Issue 16 has to offer! This content update will also continue our Powerset Proliferation as well as adding Enhanced Difficulty Options.
Visit the Official Issue 16: Power Spectrum Overview Page for all the details. Then get ready to see what happens when pigments fly!
