I'm excited and looking forward to this... The customizable bits with the heads intrigues me, but we'll see...
I was sad to see that the lion guy's feet were actually monstrous legs (as I had hoped [from a previously before seen picture] that those feet were on normal legs [the angle obscured whether they were or not]).
I really want to be able to have fur-covered legs and monstrous feet for legs with tights and such (like the reptilian option currently in-game).
Anyways... this should have a lot of good uses for many players (including me).
I don't think any of my current characters or designs will be getting costume upgrades... but the emotes and beast run should be used... and I am sure I will have much fun making new designs and costumes with the new bits!
So... the 23rd, eh? I was off! They're intentionally delaying it just to make me look bad!
-
With "OVER 60" pieces and details?
Impressive!
"New customizable heads"... I shall temper my expectations... as the current monstrous heads are technically customizable (head height and width... and colors too). So, I'll not assume this means more... (trying not to, hehe).
This should be a great pack! -

I agree. I was at Comic-Con a year ago and personally heard this. I made it a point to talk to Positron and specifically asked him if we could get the existing animal-themed sets completed (like a bull head to match the existing hooves, an insect head to match the existing feet and wings, etc). His response was that I should be pleased with the mutant booster when it comes out. Now, while that was not an outright promise that the mutant pack would be animal themed, it certainly gave that impression to me. From the feedback I saw when the mutant pack came out, I wasn't the only one to get that impression.
I think its nice that the devs have listened to the feedback from then and decided to build a proper animal themed pack. I've already reserved a couple of names for characters that I plan to build once it comes out.
Based on the little we know... They had plans to make some stuff that at least included a wolf tail (see the quote in my above post) and it is quite possible that it may have been on the table as the Mutant Booster and then was shifted to a later pack... Or it is possible that Posi just mistook the plans.
Their plans and what they are designing and working on go pretty far into the future of the game. As a possible example of this point, the Animal Pack that we're all expecting soon was possibly being worked on in June 2010 (the set that Jay was making the tail for... which was then thrown into the Mutant Booster).
Things get changed, names get changed, plans swapped and all that... So, it's easy to imagine how someone on the team could get mixed up and/or not be up-to-date and misspeak when hoping to give the players a bit of a happy insight of things to come.
I'd rather the team misspeaks now and then, instead of dead silence so as to never make any mistakes, hehe.
That last bit is not directed at anyone in particular. I'm just thinking through type.
-
See, Ironik... David did not say any such thing.
I recall having this exchange with others in the past (And I'm sure it'll happen again).
No one ever said that they whipped up the wolf tail after the feedback on the Mutant Booster.
Here's the actual quote from June 2010:

Hey, folks. So it’s always fun to be the bearer of good news, and that’s exactly what we’ve got for you today: an exclusive announcement that we’re revealing to you first. We’ve hinted at the possibility of a proper, ‘fluffy’ wolf tail for a while now, and y’know what? How about we give that to you sooner rather than later?
In fact, how about THIS WEEK. Jay built a snazzy new animated tail, and though we were originally planning to release it later as part of a different set, the schedule’s been moved up, and you’ll now have access to it as a bonus in the soon-to-be-released Mutant Pack. Here’s a pic, and (barring any technical glitches) you can start playing with the new tail on the Training Room on Friday, along with the other tails and weapon that missed the last build.
Cheers,
David

Doh! Not sure why I replaced TK in my head with Telekinetic Blast!
Still... similar thoughts, but yeah... different!
I'm still curious about both things, myself!
And yes... now I fully understand! We're talking repel, not knockback! Yeah... I really will be wondering now as well, haha! -
Hey, if more time really would result in such a difference, you better believe I'd wait.
I imagine (and this is just pure speculation) that what is in and isn't is a done deal at this point (whether the work on it is finished or not is a different story).
I highly doubt that more time would result in a drastic change (say, if they were just making monstrous heads with no detail options and no regular head monstrous faces/items/details/options... I don't think the producers will allow them to take a bit more time, add in those features and then sell it at the price they've surely already selected).
Regardless... I'm with ya on the patience is best and all.
I'm just figuring that the release date is set. Who knows... maybe I'm completely wrong about all that!
I'd be a little surprised if it wasn't coming this week -rather surprised if it wasn't by next week- just because they've clearly been getting the promo pics ready and it seems like that generally means they're setting up shop to sell it soon, but I could be way off.
Probably not even worth 2 inf, but there ya have it (I needed to post something today...). -
Hehe
I have wondered about such conditions as well. If we stand on opposite sides, from equal distance and hit the same target simultaneously, what would happen? Would one push win out over the other? Would the target be crushed and knocked up or down or anything?
My only experience thus far is with this one pair of characters a friend and I would duo with. We both had Telekinetic Blast and, several times, we would send enemies zigzagging in mid air... from successive Telekinetic Blasts from different angles.
We've definitely sent an enemy back and forth, in mid air.
I wonder if (recharge being quick enough) we could play don't let the enemy touch the ground by batting one around endlessly...
If anyone wanted to set up some experiments, if I can manage to be there, I'd be happy to help! -

Can everyone go back to discussing the pictures?
Oh...
Those pictures!!
Yeah, I love Dali...
OHHHHH!!!!
Those pictures...
I want them to release the non-silhouetted versions yesterday and the pack NOW!
I see many posts have been removed from this thread... some people found some images somewhere that they weren't supposed to see! Heehee...
I've discovered that I am really really hoping for beast/monster feet for normal legs.
Not positive if that will be coming in the pack, but I do like everything I've seen thus far.
I wonder if the Bull head just comes with those horns or if there are options to put the horns on (that head and/or all monstrous heads).
I'll say this, regardless of what is or isn't in there... the artwork that I have seen thus far is fantastic (not that I am surprised).
-
Oooh, look at that tail!
And, dare I hope that those horns are on a monstrous head?
Hehe... Wake me up when this is live already! -
Quote:I'm not sure that that was any new monstrous fur pattern in that pic. Looking at it more, it seemed just to be the one we already have.Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
Well all told so far we know we are getting at least the following with this pack:
- New Full Fur Pattern (2nd facebook tease)...
Otherwise, your list seems accurate to me.
One thing I am noticing about these silhouettes is the lack of horns or any details on those (presumably) monstrous heads. The one on the left might have hair... It might be a normal head or it might be a maned head... who knows, hehe... I hope they quit the teasing soon and show us/release it.
Anyways, I have not noticed anything telling from those silhouettes. Perhaps I am missing something obvious...
EDIT: Oh, at first glance, I thought that may have been some folded/bulky pants on the monstrous legs of the huge character on the right. On further inspection... it may just be a part of the leg/foot making that shape appear.
Might the one in the middle have goggles on?
Haha... really looking for things that might not be there at all.

Its you, Samuel.
Your reputation precedes you.
While I don't mind some running (a lot more than the average forum goer), there does sometimes seem to be some oddness, indeed.
As you've mentioned, those EBs running and not bothering to attack just can't be working properly.
Maybe you entered the mission while the EB's stand-ins were still on set?
Mission Director: "Oh, ****! Sam came in before the talent arrived... Places everyone!!"
EB Stand-in: "But... but... ACK!!! RUN AWAY!!!"
If you follow him long enough, he'll probably lead you to craft services.
Sorry, I have nothing useful to offer you, Sam! -
I predict that the pack will come out two weeks ago.
However, due to a time/space anomaly, it will come out by next Friday.
So long as the Menders don't mess anything up...
(I could be crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out this Friday... but I could be way off)
Quote:I want to see the same thing!Originally Posted by Ultra_Violence
Personally I would like to see more Head variety but NOT Monsterous heads. They are too rigid. If you make a birdlike face with fethers, then you can have a few beaks in Detail and fethering for head in other Detail. This would allow you to use all kinds of new combinations instead of 1 or 2 new heads.
What is needed for detail 2 is a Snout or maybe heads with Snouts. So you can pick which snout (ala hats) you want on your head but still keep other build options to customize it. Minotaurs? There are a dozen horns already all you really need is a face with a bull snout. I don't know maybe that is a crazy idea.
If it is a "crazy idea"... Let's get crazy! -
I never noticed stargazer disappearing, but it is very possible.
Quote:Agreed 100%Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan
Ahh thanks, D_R.
...
As an unrelated aside, really wish we had a version of the sightless mask with much less emphasis on the wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Some of those full mask patterns are really exciting and graphic when black is selected to mask out any of those texture details. Wish I had an option to make as graphic of heads for some characters while using more vibrant colors.
I've always wanted a smoother "sightless" mask.
Those wrinkles annoy me with some concepts, hehe.
Also, compare the texture to the bonehead option. That one is so smooth and the texture seems to allow the color to be much more vibrant.
Black looks black on that head, as opposed to the sightless and full masks, which grey out a bit.
As the Electric-Knight uses the full/sightless mask, it is something I am all too familiar with and share your wish!
Hmm... Come to think of it... I'll let you wish for that and I'll wish for duck bills and beaver tails...

I'm pretty sure it has been there since before I started playing!

In my opinion, any visible powers added to the game that do not afford a good degree of customization would be an oversight and mistake.
That is my opinion based on my personal preferences, tastes and enjoyments with playing this game.
An NPC pet power? Yeah, I'm not even thrilled with that idea, but if it does happen, I would absolutely love to see it include a full customization process.
I'm not sure that is something they'd want to do though... make "sidekicks" a full on part of the end game?
The whole concept seems to go against the notion of tailoring the journey per the ideas and concepts of the user.
However, staying within the mindset that it will happen (for the sake of this thread) I'd hope for just about everything that SilverAgeFan said, other than the unlocking and duration/recharge scaling. [That just seems a bit convoluted. Although, I understand the idea of slowly introducing the new character and progressively adding more and more face time]
To create, customize and name pets would be fabulous... for Master Minds first and/or alongside such a system as suggested here.
I, too, would just expect a selection of 4-6 NPC pets.
However, I truly hope that any visual powers for the incarnate system have power customization equal (or greater) to what we already have for Primary and Secondary Powers.
[And I am very much in favor of getting Power Pool and Epic Pools customizable before adding a single other thing to the game, hehe. Again, just my preferences] -
So, if he posted on here stating that he did not play CoH, would people believe him?

Do boosters normally go on sale on a particular day of the week? Or is any weekday a possible day for it to go on sale
I could be wrong, but my guess is any day could be the one.
The maintenance needed for the store, on the other hand, not sure.
I think they tend to do that a while in advance though.
Not sure if this is helpful, since I don't really know. Does the wiki have the release dates?
I just seem to recall a Friday release or two, but I could be wrong. -

Quote:Uh, technically, global warming (whatever the cause) will result in colder climates and an ice age.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Like the great ice sheets that once covered North America, it's coming one day...inches at a time, but gradually and inexorably.
Unless there's global warming.
The earth regularly goes through such cycles...
The warming of the polar caps causes them to melt... Which then cools down the rest of the climates...
Think of it like ice cubes in a drink.
The ice melts to mix with the drink.
The ice gets warmer and the drink gets cooler.
Hehe, obviously this is rather simplified, but yeah... The global temperature warming will create a cooling in the temperate climates.
Not saying that is WHY it is icy outside though... That's just winter! ;oP

Interesting!
I hope someone makes a Superman movie that isn't a reboot of the origin and takes the whole Superman vs giant, celestial-type events to the live action screen. We can do that these days... let's see it! (just my hopes, not even for this movie, but one day, at least)
Since Mr. Reeve has been mentioned already...
Not only was he terrific in the tights and cape as Superman, but the job he did as Supes playing Kent was exceptional.
He was hilarious.
Besides the script and all... My main problem with the guy playing Superman in Superman Returns was his lack of interesting take on playing the role of Clark Kent. (And I shouldn't even word that as making it out to be entirely the actor's fault. Whomever was responsible... it just lacked anything that I found entertaining... from what I remember, at least)
Just my opinions.
So many truly great, talented and learned actors coming out of the works in Britain, so that is far from a concern and could be a great thing for this role.
We'll see! -
Quote:True, but maybe this pack will be filled to the gills!Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
well, maybe, that would be great, but considering the last packs only had so many parts, usually a max of 2 whole sets per, we already have 3 animals, more would rock,buti i'm keeping myself restrained. i have been asking for fish stuff for a while, and it would work for some of my existing characters, so if we get soemthing for the sea, im all smiles.

My fingers like to type these things, even when I tell them not to.
(for the record, I don't think there'll be fishy things, but I don't really know! There does seem to be something fishy about this whole pack... GAH!!) -

Now... someone do that fancy super enhance image thing they always do in movies and tv shows... Where they zoom in fantastibly amounts and push a button that makes the resolution zip to great again and the image is super clear and perfect!!
C'mon!!!

Sorry to laugh... but HAHA!!!
I've heard of this happening, but never witnessed it.
Heeheee.....
Ahem...
Did you at least steal any hotdogs while inside?
(And I'm assuming you got out via the above mentioned methods, which is what I was going to recommend as well, after having a bit of a laugh!)
