Hallowed

Only for you and other people who still complain about vet rewards.

Or... what?

You'll rave and rant?

Nerdrage quit?

THE DEVS HAVE BEEN DENYING ME MY RIGHTFUL BACKPACK OF JUSTICE!!! THEY'RE ONLY DOING IT SO THEY CAN LAUGH AT ME AS I RUN AROUND BARE-BACKED, WHILE THEY PLAY WITH THEIR SEKRIT STUFF!!!

Seriously...

The reasons why we don't have backpacks have been thoroughly explained (In short it requires a modification of the skeletal rig to add another mounting point). The fact that a single NPC back-detail happend to bug its way through and looked half-way decent (and really it's a slightly raised texture) on a particular model does not mean that backpacks are suddenly possible.

As an addition, yes.
As a replacement, no.

We were never given a reason. And I asked*...

It's a bit of a pet peeve to me, because some of my favorite costumes are no longer reproducible, as the new "super-sock" boots look terrible compered to the classic ones.

Above all else, the "calssic" thigh-high boots are the one "lost" costume piece I'd like to see come back. I will see if I have any pics on my home machine.


*asked, pleaded, complained, whined, howled, teased, joked, etc via the boards and PMs...

Thanks to all the well-wishers.

Don't give up, I've been doing this from day one, and was thinking something similar before I put in my entry.

You tease.

Also, not to be greedy, does winning put me out of consideration for another code? If so, I'd like to still participate (these are fun), but would, in the event that lightning strikes twice, bequeath my winning unto another.

Get over yourself.

Neither David nor any of the Devs owe you (nor anyone else) any kind of response for your personal "qualms" when they decided to include the tail in a pack now, as a gesture of good faith to all the furry-parts lovers, who had convinced themselves that the Mutant Pack would have animal parts.

I would say that the level of communication in the test-server run (not beta) of the pack was exceptional.

Back on topic, I got mine, and can't wait to integrate some of the parts into some of my existing toons.

Stop being obtuse.

They are proud to announce their product with an official release date.

And quite frankly, video games get delayed all the time. I'd rather they delayed it than released it before it's ready.

[emphasis mine]

No. The new powersets are exclusive to GR.

Uhm... why?

This just looks to open up a can of problems for y'all. Won't affect me directly, but I suspect your customer service people will hate you for this.

Blatantly false.

Posi said that some people would be happy with the Mutant Booster Pack when there was a discussion of costume parts, including requests for "furry" parts. Furry-fans (used for brevity) read "we're getting furry parts in the Mutant Super Booster" into that statement, and set their expectations accordingly.

Why did Posi say what he said? Who knows.

Perhaps he thought that the non-human new pieces in the MBP would appeal to the same type of people that like furry parts. Perhaps there were some pieces under consideration that did not make the final cut (like the wolf tail initially). Or perhaps he's an evil [WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS] that enjoys the gnashing of teeth and frenzied wailing of furry-fans when they don't get what they want/expected (seems unlikely though). There are a million reasons why he could have made that statement.

Now, once the furry-fans started posting their expectations based on what he said, perhaps he should have posted something to temper those expectations... that's assuming he even looked at that thread again...

IIRC, that post (and others) may have been in beta forums, which is why we may no longer be seeing them.

Unless you provide the quote, I'm gonna call bull-[WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS] on that. I follow the dev posts almost religiously, and I don't ever recall him posting something to that effect.

I'm not questioning that you actually think you read a post, but I am questioning whether it even actually happened. The fact that you can't even recall if he said he "hated" furries or just had a "strong dislike" further weakens the credibility of your argument.

If you can produce the quote, do it, and I'll say I was wrong, otherwise, this is just hearsay and slander.

Uhm... neither the bio-luminescent, nor organic armors look anything like the cyborg parts.

What graphics settings are you playing on?

... and was one of the most hated characters ever by fans of the book (at least all of them that I know, self included).

I see it as both.

David said "Hey, we already have this tail that The Sexxy One has been working on, and (many) people thought that the Mutant Booster would be about animal parts and are disappointed... waitaminit... 2+2=... Hey! I have a great idea!"

Meanwhile, marketing said "Muahahahahaha! Brilliant! This will get the unwashed to buy more Mutant Booster packs! Great idea!"
