Although it has been said that wewill get this no firm dates have been released yet.
Oh wait..Epic/Patrons not so sure about. Was thinking about the Power Pools open to all.
Enjoy your day please.
What about an old thread where a forumer has asked about it??

If a person turns down an idea, he turns down an opportunity to evolve himself
Short version: May or may not happen.
Exposing patron, epic, and pool powers to the end user requires more changes to the actual processing engine, the graphics display engine, the user-interface engine, and to the animations engine. We were told flat out last year by the developers that further power customization was in the cards, but not till after Going Rogue launches.
Now, we know that the first edition of Power Customization took around 2 years or so to work through. Given that those sections of the engine have been better documented and that the coders now have a better handle on actually modifying / changing the code, making the changes needed for extended power customization should only take 3 or 4 months of dedicated work.
Given that Going Rogue has finally been dated as August 17th, we probably could expect further power customization sometime in 2011.
The work MAY NOT happen though because we don't know what the long term plans of CoH are. We know that NCSoft has basically committed itself to the franchise for the foreseeable future, pumping money into the project giving Paragon Studios quite a bit of free reign in working the game.
What we don't know is whether or not NCSoft wants Paragon Studios to go ahead and start work on CoH2, or if NCSoft will greenlight 4 or 5 more expansions to the existing game.
If NCSoft and Paragon Studios agree to work towards a sequel game, set maybe after or during The Storm, but with a completely new processing engine, it's possible that we'll only see such improvements in the "next generation" processing client, rather than the existing processing client.
You've got a point there je_saist, thank you for telling

At one point they said it was very hard to do, so probably next year.
After all, merging the markets is impossible, and we get it next month.
Merging the market was never "impossible". It was "we don't like what we saw when we did the projections".
Dec out.
Hi guys
I'd like to be a little curious as to ask if/when (as I assume it might come eventually) ancillery/patron powers are to be power customizable. And while I'm totally sure that people have asked this before, can anyone please show a link to the actual thread?
Much obliged ^^
