June 19, 2009 - 4:23pm
Posi put on his rumor squashing boots to quell some of the rumors about Going Rogue and I16 and in doing so, dropped a bombshell!
Ready?
So, what do you think? More details in July.

I could not be more excited! A whole other aspect of costume design IMO!
I'm so looking forward to this!

Sorry, but what did you think power customization was going to be?
I'm looking forward to it.

Location of emanation might get me slightly more interested.
Maybe secondary effects.
Honestly, never understood the whole hype behind power customization.

I was hoping for a lunchmeat blaster powerset.

Changing the origin points of the powers, while keeping the actual power FX the same would look rather weird I'd imagine. There is also the potential need to rebalance powers based upon this, especially if new animations were needed - or if animations could be swapped about there would be no doubt that powers would have to be rebalanced since animation times are taken into account for damage/recharge.
In any case, customization is a huge part of this game and almost any game coming out in the future - CO and DCU for example. Players love the fact that there is a myriad of ways to customize their character to create a very distinct identity that can vary wildly from the other characters that might be standing 5 feet away in game. But when it comes to powers, every Energy Blast is the same despite how Awesome Man should really have red energy effects and Captain Righteous should really have yellow effects.
So that's what the hype is about, the fact that players get a level of customization regarding potentially one of the most defining aspects of their characters.

Here's hoping for a bit more than colours. 
I want to change the rock in the hurl boulder animation to Gary Coleman. Nothing would be more awesomeness than killing people with a hurling Gary Coleman.

Just how many times would you realistically be able to throw Gary Coleman at someone before the bloody pulp that is his body would just disintegrate in your hand?
ya got to think these things through.....

I'm all for power customization. I don't think that will be the bulk of I16, but even if it is, it's one step closer to proving CoX is taking note of all the features we're excited about in upcoming MMO's and revamping CoX to include them. Let's hope they include more things like power emanation locations such as a super hero that blasts things from his rear ala Powdered Toast Man (bonus if you can remember where he's from) would be epically awesome. Bravo, and long live Issue 16 and CoX

If you can't change the boulder to Gary Coleman I'm quitting the game and all my friends are quitting too. The devs have totally screwed this up by failing to include the basic Gary Coleman features the community has demanded.
I mean, really! How hard would it be to program Gary Coleman?!

Figured I'd bump this thread rather than start a new one for a tiny tidbit...
Great news, too bad it will probably pop up at the end of the week and actually be something tiny.
Yeah, I'm in a glass half empty mood today. ¬_¬
Promised July news updates are coming this week!

It looks like it will be whatever they planned on releasing at ComiCon, so I'd expect a bit on GR as well.... but probably not too much.

I can't really see that being the case. The PR people are hardasses and I doubt they would schedule for info to be released at SDCC and then decide to release it one week earlier without any real hoopla.
I'm thinking at most it will be the I16 overview that gives a general outline of the features in the issue. By releasing that a week before SDCC, they can create some buzz and interest and either build upon that more by releasing additional I16 info, as well as GoRo info...or people can ask questions and get answers.

Sorry, Razor... little misunderstanding there.
Based on BaB's comments, I would guess that the bulk of the info will come out AT SDCC and as a matter of course will become available on the internet at that point.
