I'd bet its more end-game stuffs and the NDA is there to spark excitment seeing how a there are some very pretty stuffs coming out on the horizon! I'll hope for a new graphics engine but I'm prep'd for a major rebuff!
Well, the BAF raid seems to be high end content - but I think there'll be more than that in I20

I guess Weather Effects will happen in I-20. Like background elements in missions (we did see a glimpse of them in the Incarnate first mission).
Maybe also having them in AE?
But Weather effects in city,mmm. Storm, rain, wind.
A crazy Idea that we might not get.. proper wind in the zone.
"A storm is headed towards Talos" - okay.. knockback effect on flying or reduced flight /travel power.
That would take weather effects to a new level.

This effect actually exists in the game as of Issue 19. When you get to the roof in the Syndicate Takedown zone event, high winds start causing random knockback (and -Fly) after you defeat the EB. Of course, the first time I did this was on a toon with a Karma: Knockback Protection IO slotted, so I didn't actually experience the effect. |

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.
I still want kitten Masterminds.
Why kittens? Because adult cats know better than to follow anyone other then themselves.
And we must have fingers.

Sure that would add a level of realism to the game but also a bigger level of annoyance.
"Hold on guys I can't get to the mission because of the storm...."
Not fun.

Thank you, thank you! I'm here through Thursday. Try the veal. Don't forget to tip your server!
hmmm, well, I doubt it will happen, but if we're dreaming, I say dream BIG!
so what I dream of for issue 20, is to be able to recolor and/or eliminate the flaming yellow pom-poms from the (all builds mandatory) power Hasten.
Then people could use the fist auras ...and SEE THEM! *gasp*

Wind is sucked from higher pressure areas into lower pressure zones. It does not really blow.
Meteorology FTW!!

Actually physics would say it's pushed from the higher pressure areas into the lower pressure areas. Meteorology is wrong if it says otherwise.

Even with a lot of flyers on my roster, I would love it. Would there be any chance of the inverse? Like particularly nice days giving small buff to speed or perhaps even finding a wind pocket and "riding it" ... it seems like this could open up one lovely can of physics loving worms.

I'd think that Judgement AND Interface will be coming out with i20, as well as our final Alpha tier.
1. Judgement is in-game in 1 of the 4 forked paths. [Ion Radial Judgement]
2. Interface is a pet system, thanks to our friendly neighborhood pigg divers.
3. They need to test the level-shift on Alpha tier and inspirations, in order to make sure they're not causing enemies to become over/underpowered or broken, particularly in high-end raids me-thinks. (Level 51+ HOs again anyone?)
4. New TF. It's inevitable. We've read interviews. (Where's that one about the Mother Mayhem hospital attack?)

Found it, and it even has screenshots and information on a multi-team trial.
4.5 Coletron http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively...010/11/p04.jpg
5. Mender Nemesis clearly has something up his sleeve, and as per the Lore page, he may attempt to contact alternate versions of himself. Particularly the ones that aren't already dead/hate him in the PI arcs.
My crazy theory is that Issue 20 will be a complete revamp of everything, and will be not be released until CoH's 7th Anniversary in the Spring.
Someone once said that Nostradamus might be an ancestor of mine from waaaay back, I think as far back as the Oligocene, so I'm guessing I'm 100% right on this.

As I recall, Interface added a debuff effect to most powers and the pets were Lore. And unless there was another leak, the info came from the fact that the crafting tables for the first 5 slots were accessible on test during the i18 closed beta.

More than crazy theories, my wish list is:
Warwalls down
Power pools, APP, PPP and MM pets customization
Martial arts secondary for blasters
Illusion for dominators
New loading screens
Hi-res and new textures for the older costume pieces
Animated faces, fingers and hair
All of that thanks to a completely new engine!
And I want it for Xmas 
Hard to believe next issue is ANYTHING except Incarnate abilities and missions. There aren't enough missions to really challenge Icarnates yet and as they add in more slots existing content will start getting trivial.
If they didn't open at least 1 slot the outrage would be severe. People are going nuts for the system many waited years for, they don't want to see revamps of powers or new animations. (well they do but an issue of just that would get a lot of thumbs down).
The question is whether they are going to start creating Incarnate missions or just Task Forces and turn high level CoH into WoW where the only way to do high level content is in raids and full teams. Hopefully not since that is one of the defining differences in CoH that you CAN get ahead solo if you want.
It is also possible with the signed disclosures they are trying to identify leaks. They use the same people regularly and if they are seeing the info making it to the web regularly they may decide it is time to make an example of someone. Written NDS will definitely stand up in court, digital is always iffy. As I always say never hire a programmer who can't crack every security system you have, because if they can't then they are worthless as programmers.
Who knows? For all anyone knows they signed a deal with Marvel (who gave up on their MMO) to use their characters. Marvel gets free money, CoH gets some cachet. Time to put the squeeze on Champions! LOL
There's a cat in the box but what kind of cat? Who knows. Would be nice if it's the kind that makes people want to play Red side again though.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Illusion for Dominators just doesn't seem viable, because the set is hardly "control" as it is. Domination would be near worthless, unless the pets were reworked to deal more damage and hold more aggro, while the controlling Dom has the buff on.

That's not quite correct - it was said at the NYCC panel that giving us figners wouldn't be too hard to do, but the fact that they'd need to animate them to match most of the existing emotes meant that it would be a lot more work to do.

I dont care, we should had animated fingers a couple of years ago.
In some aspects our game look older than most of the fantasy games from same year release.
EQ2, WoW only 1 year "younger" and they had water reflections, real shadows, and animated fingers long way before us.
I just want more for my game
you will..just as soon as you buy city of heroes 2!!!! coming to a store near you some time in the near future!
