>_> err... power customization and Nem system are deffinitly not in i12, nor i13, or i14.. you won't see them in 2008 at all. --Sleepy Kitty 04:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- No idea who keeps on adding those. Leandro 14:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- I added a heading "Speculated Content Unlikely to Happen" and moved Power Customization, Archnemesis/Alterego and UI Graphics Overhaul/Upgrade in there (the last one because I don't see the devs messing with the game's user interface at this point; at most I see them adding another powers tray, too much of a change to the user interface after 4 years is likely to do much more harm than good). I also removed "Various bug fixes/power alterations" because those things always happen, Issue release or not; we're getting a good chunk of changes right now with Defiance 2.0, new MOG, improved Rage, etc. Leandro 14:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Being that this is an encyclopedia of all things heroic (and villainous), should we really be waisting time on an article that consists only of speculation? - Blue Orchid 22:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. That way when someone asks "is X going to happen in the next issue?" we point them to this page instead of repeating the same answers over and over. Leandro 14:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- An encyclopedia is a tome of events that have happened, not of events that will not happen. Issue 12 has not happened, nor has there been any official press release on what will come with Issue 12, therefor, it is speculation and does not belong here. This is an encyclopedia, not a message board. Asking That way when someone asks "is X going to happen in the next issue?" Really does belong on a message board, not here. This article is a waste of time and disk space. -Blue Orchid 15:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Clearly, this article is not for you. Feel free to ignore it.--GreyDog 16:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

- Paragon Wiki is very encyclopedic in nature, but it is not actually an encyclopedia. These Issue articles generally start out as highly speculative and gradually become increasingly factual as the Issue's release draws closer. (Such as the confirmed bit about SG mode.) The article is probably not ideal, but it does serve a helpful purpose and is not harmful. -- Sekoia 22:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
