Colours, grand. Not too fussed really. Offhand I can't really think of too many of my chars powers I'll recolour.
Proliferation : Cool. They'd better do Traps defenders properly though, copy the corrupter trap pseudo-pets and tweak the numbers up to defender levels. Cold Controllers sound very nice. Might make a Plant/Cold. Claws Brutes sound excellent but there'll probably be changes from the Scrapper version. A Claws/Inv Brute could be lots of fun though!
Enhanced Diff options, nice idea which I'll use on some chars, not for farming really, just for soloing in the 40s. My Warshade and my Fire/Rad would have loved this when I was soloing. I suspect my Stone/Fire brute will use it too.
It's all mechanics based though. No actual new content at all? No coming storm? Not even a change to the Shards to add a few mission arcs in there and make them co-op? Meh.
As normal, they ain't going to release everything about I16 just yet. I wouldn't be surprised if theres more to come. And, even if not, there's Going Rogue.

"OTHER FEATURES TO BE ANNOUNCED"
Before complaining about assumed lack of storyline/missions/content, why not wait to see what these "other features" are. Honestly, some posts on these forums sound like they're being made by spoilt, impatient kids.
Anyway, would like to see Superspeed's colour customisable... or a powerslide power being made available...

I know, but Going Rogue seems more to be about opening a "new chapter" in terms of story line when they haven't closed the last major one they created (and deliberately fostered as a sort of mystery to be solved via the Glowie clues). Writing half a storyline and then wandering off to do something else instead is very annoying to your audience. Especially when you hype it so much.
I'm very happy about Assault Rifle for Defenders.
Trick Arrow/Assault Rifle anyone?!

I would do a flametrower to light the slick, then ignite and FA. (FA does serious damage too )
Then again, corrupter one might be better

I foresee a lot of weapon redrawing!
Other than DB have we any sets combinations for ATs where there are 2 seperate weapons for customisation (as this should allow)?

Looking forward to that!

Also QFT!!!
And Claws Brutes? Any thoughts I had for leaving this game are well and truly banished.
Would still like more (much more) dev stories that aren't TF's or SF's please!

Set combos or just a set with 2 changable models? There are a lot of set combos which allow you to set two models, any weapon + shields for example.
Hell Thugs / TA should let you set 3 of the blighters.
am i the only person who thinks this is an awesome update, i thought loads of people really wanted to see colour customisation in powers. or is everyone wanting something different now days like voice overs for everything >>
i think it looks cool, and very nice, plus with going rogue coming up do you really expect hundreds of new story arcs in the free issues before it, i think not
i personally think its a little rude to start jumping around going, "what! thats issue 16! but i want this instead... you all suck," c'mon its a good issue stop being so harsh the Ncsoft their doing great =D

I really wish you'd stop doing that, GG...
GR is a seperate expansion. It will probably cost us as much as buying a new game.
It is a very different case to the issues that are provided out of subs.
There should be dev-story content in the issues and the existence of GR should not be a factor in that at all.
BTW - wasn't it meant to be the case that we got alternate story issues and tech/system issues? I know MA threw the issue ordering out, but we seem to have moved a long way from that.

You're not the only person who thinks this issue is awesome.
I'd wink here but it's a little too GG for me

And whilst I'll be buying it, what about those who can't or won't?

I really hope it's just you who thinks that. Because if the devs do, it's pretty much a feck off to any subscriber who, for whatever reason, does not buy GR

It doesn't matter anyway, you may pay for the game, but ultimately what they do with that money is up to them. Its a business after all. When you take that into account you also have to realize that what was said several months if not almost a year ago can easily change. Routines and procedures evolve and eventually change and accommodate for that change. For example GR may be separate from what you pay for and you don't have to buy it, but as a company they still have to work on it to provide it for those who will buy it, and thereby devote resources to it. (As they will make a tidy profit from it if not from direct sales but from those returning to check it out)
Also i'd like to take the time to point out how difficult it might be and how much time it might take (Again factoring the GR production in the pipeline) to create, adjust new proliferated power sets never mind creating an open customizable character creation process including powers.
I think this Issue despite some peoples negativity is fully fleshed out with things that will please many. They might not be large and noticeable changes but for some who cried for ease of use and day to day changes its nice to see they are fixing the foundations of this game clearly for bigger and better things to come.
Hey - no fair!
The French get to call I16 "Kaléidoscope" - we have the word Kaleidoscope in English and it's a much better title for the issue.
Though after calling it Going Rouge a few times (partly to wind up those who got worked up saying "no - it's not Going Rogue") I'd have gone for that in preference to Power Spectrum.

o.0 (i hope u refer to MM pets?)
[ QUOTE ]
I hope the pets are a bit more customisable to what we've seen in the MA customisation i.e: Only being able to change something minor that no one would notice.
[/ QUOTE ]
Where can u change your pets?
[/ QUOTE ]
No I'm talking about the Standard NPC customisation in the MA where you can usually change very little. I was stating that I hope that's what the Power Customisation for MM pets won't be like.
