Both City of Heroes and its counterpart, City of Villains will be seeing some major changes when the upcoming Issue 16: Power Spectrum update releases. Most notably, Issue 16 will allow players to customize the look of their powers with different colors and, in some cases, specialized animations. However, players will be seeing another benefit in the form of Power Proliferation, where archetypes will be getting a few new powersets to toy with. A recent developer diary written by Senior Designer Floyd Grubb discusses changes to the Scrapper and Tanks, which will both get electric melee. Switching over to the dark side of things, Dominators can look forward to adding Earth Assault to their repertoire. With a little luck, players will see the release of i16 sometime in the fall. New screenshots are available, and the full developer diary can be read after the jump.Check out the City of Heroes downloads
