Mentioning i16 there is sorta pushing it considering that they're forcing power customisation up the poor, old, worn out game engine.
This looks totally awesome 
Can't wait to see what alternative Martial Arts animations we'll be given 
Also, the alternative animation mechanic shows that it's something they might consider adding for every power set, perhaps?

"Power Spectrum"? That ranks with "Power and Responsibility" as the crappest issue title yet

They better put every freaking thermal power from controllers into MM, dont make it some stupid gimped set. The balance of resist vs defense (2:1) is already totaly out of balance.
But willpower colorable? That would be coloring nearly nothing?
Again it seems a 'add more, forget the rest' issue, instead of fixing issues that been around so long (redraw, rooting, animation times, mercs.. duh, room of doom cavemap) it feels yet another 'cover up'.
Then again, my own 8man spawn mission.. i dont care the other changes, that is enough for me

That would be awesome, but I might have a reason to log in on my one and only lvl 50 hero now because of this. I just hope they have some fist attack animations now.

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
@Lyrik
Well, I belive CO is adding animation choice for their powers, so it's quite likely we might get the same sometime
EDIT: And another thought - I wonder if we could choose invisible/no color, so Hasten could be made so much better?
@Golden Girl

So that means we can have invisibly blasts of doom?

Dont think u can choose transparant :P
But u can go for evilish pink, devilish pink, demonic pink, doomed pink, holy pink, villainy pink, anti-hero pink, true pink, dark pink, nearly pink, brutal pink.
Maybe blue too.

Well, it might be limited to certain powers
Extending animation choice to other power pools would be nice for getting the right Flight poses much more easily, and it'd let magic avatars feels less self-conscious about using Heal Self - it'd also mean we could ditch the retarded chest-beating for Integration

This is probably the greatest issue yet!
For the record, the "black" usually comes out transparent

Bad thing: More influence in the game and higher prices at ww/bm.
[/ QUOTE ]
But it could help push down the prices of purples since the supply of them is so low.
[/ QUOTE ]
Seriously doubt it Damz.
With more money in the game there is only one way the prices will go, cause people have more of it... Sadly that way is up.
I would be very happy to be wrong on this, but somehow I doubt it.
I remember when the purples entered the game and the time I began collecting set (Devs said one would be lucky if they would get one in their set, and we where not meant to have a full set of any of them). At that time I could buy one recipe (maybe not the most expensive) for say 50 mill.
Now... that price has increased by x1,25 , x1,5 , x2 or x3 times that amount.
Thus when I-16 has been on for some time.. again we will have another price jump. Cause farmers will farm and people will buy to get the best sets for their characters at any price.
But I hope.. I hope I am wrong even though I fear I'm not.

But what about a solo player farming spawns set for 8 - wouldn't that increase the flow of rare drops onto the market?
@Golden Girl
City of Heroes comics and artwork
Maybe, unless th eperson uses them him/herself.
But drops are anyway low.
If you have a strong enough character that can do lots of damage, even if you run the mission for 8 players on heroic... you... will... get a lot of cash.
So yes, we may not get much invite to pad/fill for teammaximum (less annoyance).
But farmers will farm. They have and they will do so (fact of life). How many new recipes etc has the MA given? Still it is one of the most used places where people do MA missions and MA missions all the time.
Again.. has the WW/BM gotten reduced prices from this?
No!

...still hoping for an announcement of some actual content, but then again, guess they're saving that for the expansion, according to the new pay twice policy!
