City of Heroes/Villains issue 11 teasers have been brought out at the UK boards.... including...

WEAPON CUSTOMIZATION
Sometimes an assault rifle just isn’t the right tool for the job, or character, especially when he or she should be using a sniper rifle instead. Players can now change their weapons in the same way that they change their costume parts! From within the costume creator and tailor screen players select the new “Weapons” region. A number of new options are now available for appropriate power sets. Current power sets that benefit from this upgrade include Assault Rifle, Mercenaries/Assault Rifle, Bow, Broadsword, Claws, Villain Claws, Dual Blades (see below), Katana, Ninja Blade, Mace, Robotics/Pulse Rifle, and Thugs/Dual Pistols.

Very cool. Too bad I have *no* toons that will be able to take advantage of this :P

I was thinking the same thing. I have ONE pistol/Thug user, but I LIKE his pistols...

I really want them to offer different "beams" for Blasters. Even a color option would work better than everyone has Blue Bubble Beam.

Exactly! Unfortunately they've said that color customization is the biggest hassle in the world, since the colors are additive (I think?) Meaning darker colors just wouldn't show up. But SO WHAT, I say! Let us adjust the colors within a range, then! Instead of blue bubbles, let us adjust the tint or something, it can't be THAT HARD! Sure, we wouldn't be able to get colors like BLACK or WHITE, but we could at least make the powers resemble our characters! :P

Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at. Well, I have a Claws scrapper that may or may not get deleted in the near future. And I've been known to make Katana or Broadsword style characters in the past...
