With the devs out and about during the day, information is pouring in about the game, so stay tuned for more info as it arrives.
But to start it off -

Two new powersets in the works.
Rather large hint that the Reichsman is going to turn up for Issue 15.
The coming storm isn't arriving for Issue 15, Issue 15 is STILL a filler Issue (it was whatever was ready in time for the anniversery bundled in).
All I got out of him on Power Customisation was that it wasn't something they could do while working under Cryptic (not sure if that's a hint it's coming or not).
The devs are currently working on Issue 18!
As said above, the vault has been shelved because it would have caused massively unplayable lag to live servers.
The next booster pack is SUPERSCIENCE!

Not nearly as nasty as 'Customs Officer Summoning' though.
One of their holds, originally called 'Cavity Search' was banned.

Wasn't that the one with putting on a elbow length latex glove, and playing a snap sound? It was a fear effect IIRC. The one with the PC cringing in fear...

On a side note: For some strange reason, Peregrin crossed the border 6 more times that day.

Ewwww...
Blackhat: Posi, is there currently work being done into optimisation? The lag in the ITF task force is at ridiculous levels, and it doesn't matter what connection speed or computer you have.
P: We're always fixing those sorts of bugs
Lightning Blue: Any new maps featured in the new tfs?
P: LOTS!
Now that you guys can make your own missions, we need to do stuff you guys can't do on your own
We are also looking into a new graphics setting.
Dreamweaver: Dear Posi... is there a chance we could see a custom map builder too, or the ability to place things a bit more exactly - so that we can build our own spectacular maps a la base builder?
P: No, not at the moment, if you think farming is bad now then think of what it will be like when people can make their own maps and place spawns exactly where they want them
Night Hornet: When is issue 15 released?
P: Soon ™
Gen. Pansington: Positron, are there any plans on reworking the shadow shard tfs? noone ever playes them anymore
P: Right now, we'd rather add zones, since a revamp takes almost as much time.
Tiger White: Posi: Just so you know, a lot of the moaning is due to the overuse of the word "Soon", with nothing ever ACTUALLY turning up.. Like.. The Vault, or the Cathedral of Pain, or some forum software that works properly...
P: Vault has been shelved.
Generating the Vault stuff actually hammered the servers, so we need to reengineer the whole thing.
So it's on the back burner until we get the right guy in here.
In response to no one in Particular:
P: Power Customization is one of those things that we couldn't do at Cryptic.
thats all I'll say about that.
Fulcrum: Posi, just curious, how far ahead do you have plans for at the moment?
P: Working on I18 prelim designs.
Golden Girl: What is the next booster pack slated to be released?
P: Super Science.
Golden Girl: Positron, are you working on any new enemy groups, or is most of your work on fleshing out current groups like the Rikti and the 5th Column?
P: There is work on new enemy groups going on
Delenda: Any new in Pvp? a capture the Flag mode for exemple? new arena modes?
P: We're working on some new arena modes, no idea when they will be done though
Riffster: Posi what are you most proud of to date and what are you most excited by for the future?
P: Vanguard, and stuff I can't talk about.
Spinal: Ah thats one question i have. Is it possible to disable zone npc´s for player events?
P: No, it its not possible.
Duex Elfling: we likley to see any more in game invasions?
P: Yes
Positron: Demon Summoning? Dual Pistols?
*few minutes later*
Positron: DIdn't I hint at two new powersets above?
You don't want to end up like the brave, fallen, and genetically-altered personnel we've come across.
