Which brings us back to the same answer given every time someone asks, "Is X going to be in Issue 17 or going to happen before Going Rogue?"
The answer is: NO.
NOTHING is being worked on that's not Going Rogue except for the Natural Booster Pack, the new Christmas Event feature, and the very tiny list of things listed in the first post of HeroCon GR Info thread. Bases aren't being worked on. PvP isn't being worked on. Zone revamps aren't being worked on. Customization of Pools isn't being worked on. Vehicles aren't being worked on. Unicorns that expel rainbows aren't being worked on. Going Rogue has top priority.
In fact there probably *WON'T* be an Issue 17 before Going Rogue. They have *no plans* for an Issue before Going Rogue. The *might*, *if* they have Ultra Mode ready and a few non-GR stuff done ahead of schedule put them together in a 16.5 release and *just maybe* there might be enough stuff to call it an Issue. But there are *no plans* at this time to get anything done in time for an Issue 17. They're not scheduling anything at this time for a pre-GR Issue release.
When a company like Paragon Studios does not have an Issue actually scheduled for release between now and GR, then don't expect one. It probably won't happen. Only if things work much better than they expected might there be an interim release. And on the other hand, a nasty bug or set-back (like what happened with The Vault or the many times they tried to fix the Cathedral of Pain) will not only guarantee there will be no interim Issue, but will delay GR.
And one more thing. Santa is staying home this Christmas.

I think we may have various releases of things, but no official "issue."
We've got the Xmas and Valentine's events coming, plus probably a double xp weekend in there somewhere. New dev's choice arcs plus guest author arcs.
I could see the graphics update coming out as part of a holiday event, and the new electrical power set coming the same way. Ditto with the character switching ability.
ZombieMan's got it. As all the dev statements lately have indicated, all the development eggs are in the Going Rogue basket at the moment.
Anyone else reminded of the Issue 6 (CoV) to Issue 7 (Grandville, Mayhems, etc.) gap? Let's just hope that this time, the release of the expansion isn't accompanied by massive cutbacks in the development staff.

Been looking for the info but was unable to find it.
I remember during the first day of Herocon there was written somewhere on the boards that there might be issue 17 and issue 18 before GR.
However Issue 17 was a minor thingy, issue 18 was going to be great. (No further info though about either of them). But the timeframe from previous issues would indicate that we get something before GR launches.
I will not believe though that there will not be an issue before GR comes around, and while GR beta is on its way. It would just be too much time without anything. Even though most of the team works on GR, there are issues planned and worked on. Even though we don't hear about it. Do wonder though *Looks towards the Devs hoping to get their attention* when we will hear more...

You are in an open field west of a big white house with a boarded

There is a small mailbox here.

Opening the mailbox reveals:
A leaflet
> Read leaflet
The leaflet says more information will be released about Issue 17 in 2010.
> Crumple leaflet in anger
The leaflet refuses to be crumpled!

Why not? The situation seems quite hopeless.

I17 is probably going to be retcons to CoH story arcs about Praetorian Earth to clean up the in-game continuity from being Evil Goatee Paragon (where all the major superheroes are evil) to Emperor Cole, Beloved Tyrant of Paragon (hey Mother Mayhem isn't slicing people's brains up and turning them psychotic for laughs anymore. And Dominatrix just...yeah, isn't doing that anymore either)
And probably also getting some Praetorian story content in CoV. Maybe Malaise could show up to be the Rogue Hero--he bounces between being Psyche's brainwashed pet hero project and the sociopath villain he is depending on the flip of a coin, after all. He could be trying to sell some paintings to liven up Grandville Tower.
And an Empire vs Rebellion pvp zone you can go to without buying GR.
That would be enough to be a typical issue.

The devs have pretty much said no pvp work will be done till AFTER GR. So I doubt you'll see anything related to pvp at all in GR.

And they sullenly came slinking back after that other super hero MMO fell drastically short of their expectations. Now they sit quietly sulking in the corner masticating on the stale venom and bile they spewed all over our forums and hoping that when they do decide to open their big mouths again no one will recognize them or remember what they said when they claimed they were leaving forever.

Why was this thread resuscitated?
I don't know. S&G's maybe.

On a less snarky note, I have to agree with Zombie--I think we will see I17 after GR. Feel free to pleasantly surprise me.
