Well, that answers that! Awesome! 
'Issue 17 will also introduce a "new and nefarious foe" that will be able to match players "blow for blow."'
OH SNAP.
Wow - nice find.
Only one thing I see that I don't really like - epics at level 20. Definitely too low. 50 was right on.
Edit: The rest is awesome and thanks for the info! March is really, really close! How do we pre-order?

Nifty!
Do they mean all epic archetypes unlock now at 20? I suppose that'll be kind of cool for me red side since I don't have anyone over 25 there yet.
Great news though. My gimp computer can't handle Ultra mode but lots of other goodies on the way.
April?
APRIL ... ?!
WANT NAO!
And I guess those of us who can't pre-order Going Rogue will just have to make due with Dual Pistol or Demon Summoning characters solely on the Training Room during beta testing instead. 
Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
Early access to powersets yes what???
(And hey, so that's what Alpha and Omega are. ^^)

'Enhancements to UI and game systems'
... if this means they implemented a 'Team LFM feature' I'm going to fly over there and bake them cookies in person.
Truly the excitement is building.
Happiness!!!
So i guess they kept those additions well hidden from us How dare they!!!!!

NCsoft has announced today that players can look forward to Issue 17, which has been titled "Dark Mirror," this April! Most players expected to find the new graphical updates featured in Going Rogue with the release of the upcoming expansion, however, it appears that the previously announced "Ultra Mode" will make it in with Issue 17!|

Ultra Mode is an optional enhancement mode, enabling players that have the hardware to take advantage of the new bells and whistles to do so, without disturbing the game for those still running City of Heroes on their toasters. The mode will enhance the game with a "a new look and feel with a heightened level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows and water effects."
Issue 17 will also introduce a "new and nefarious foe" that will be able to match players "blow for blow." Given the Issue's title, I'm guessing it will be your doppelganger, but for now Paragon Studios isn't saying anything more than that.
A short rundown of the issues other features is available below:
* New badges, new missions and new player emotes
* Epic Archetypes now available at level 20
* Improvements and additions to Mission Architect
* Enhancements to UI and game systems
* And dozens more
Was all that not exciting enough? How about the fact that beginning on March 2nd, those who pre-order Going Rogue will receive early access to the expansion's two new powersets, Dual Pistols, and Demon Summoning in April?!
The Going Rogue "Complete Edition" has also been announced, featuring both City of Heroes & City of Villains, 30 days of game time, and the "Complete Collection Item Pack," which contains Alpha and Omega costume sets and auras, four stance emotes, and The Shadowy Presence invisibility power.
The Going Rogue beta will begin this Spring, with the expansion's full release expected in July.
Thanks Tark!

I'm really not sure what I think of Epic Archetype at level 20 thing. That really seems to needlessly cheapen it in my mind, especially given all the recent changes to make leveling easier.

Thank you.
Nice article. Disappointing that we get the article on MMORPG before they officially announce it on the forums here (Maybe with some extra info), but I blame the evil marketing people for that. They don't like us. :P

The Devs have said for a long time that they considered the "unlocking epics at 50" thing to be a game design mistake on their part. It would seem that they've finally decided to actively do something about it. It never really bothered me that I had to get a 50 for those unlocks, and now years after the fact it's not really going to bother me to have the bar lowered to 20 either. *shrugs*

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but I couldn't find it in a quick search of the forums. MMORPG has a brief article up on I17. Link below.
