I am without a doubt Chaotic Neutral with any and all characters I play.
I tend to do whatever it takes to float my boat and if that means sinking yours to get there, so be it. -
Both codes have been claimed.
Congratulations to our NA player in FL and our EU player in Germany! -

OMG a sniper riffle? What did I ever do to you? -
Looking for a chance to snag one of the Praetorian Clockwork Costume codes that were given out at this years Hero-Con?
Here's your chance!
1. I'll post both EU and NA codes in this thread.
2. Be the first person to claim the code on your account.
3. After the codes are claimed I will post to let you know and then remove the codes to keep late comers from thinking they are still available.
Sounds simple doesn't it?

That's not what happened. The rep system still works the exact same way it did. Viewing rep comments on a Users CP was turned off due to the fact that it was too easy for users to bypass the ignore function and those not wanting to even take part in the rep system were forced to do so. It had nothing to do with moderation as it's very easy to moderate rep comments and those leaving them.
We still would like to find a way to implement it so the comments are viewable however we will not do it unless we find a way for those not interested in it to turn it off. -
This thread took a wrong turn and has now crashed and burned.

Was there ever any official word from the devs, or from Marketing, or whoever that the Ninja Pack is actually the Natural Pack?

This is the "Natural Pack". -
Get ready to channel your chi and embrace your inner shinobi! City of Heroes® Super Booster IV: Martial Arts is now available for $9.99 on the NCsoft® store.
Not only does Super Booster IV: Martial Arts offer you a stealthy new costume set, brazen emotes, and ninja-inspired costume change techniques, but you'll gain access to the exclusive Ninja Run travel power so you can dash through the city with the agility of a ninja! Use Ninja Run to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies as you increase your run speed and leaping abilities. What's the best part? It doesn't use one of your power selections!
This purchase enables these features for all characters on your game account from level 1, but the costume change emotes do require that you unlock at least one additional costume slot. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40; and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought, sold or traded via the in-game Consignment Houses).
Martial Arts themed costume set:
The Martial Arts themed male, female and huge costume parts include robes, shoulders, legs, gloves, footwear, mask, belt and head pieces, as well as new hair styles, chest emblems, and weapons. Male and huge characters also have the option to select the top knot hair style, while females will have the option for braided buns!
Character Emotes:
- /em bringit
- /em pushup
Costume Change Emotes:
Activate the following martial arts themed 'costume change emotes' using the costume change interface, selectable from the main Menu.
- Smokebomb
- Ninja Leap
Ninja Run power:
Dash through the city with the agility of a ninja! The Ninja Run power is a travel power enabled through the purchase of Super Booster IV: Martial Arts and is available for use at level 4. Use Ninja Run to strike fear in the hearts of your enemies as you increase your run speed and leaping abilities, and the best part? It doesn't use one of your power selections!
NOTE FOR ABOVE
- By default characters only have one costume slot, and must unlock additional costume slots through activities in the game. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40; and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought, sold or traded via the in-game Consignment Houses).

Patch Notes for the Live Servers
Thursday, November 12, 2009
COMBINED
Gameplay
- Resolved a game stability issue (which was in no way related to the Walk power).
Macintosh Client
- Fixed a mouse cursor issue that affected Macintosh users who had the Intel GMA x3100 video card.
- The "Enter" key on the Macintosh Number keypad will no longer have the same functionality as the "Return" key on the keyboard.
Mission Architect
- Arcs using high level bosses from villain groups with non-continuous level ranges (The Family, Banished Pantheon, etc), were being incorrectly detected as invalid when characters tried to enter the mission door, after the mission was accepted. These arcs are now playable again.
- Custom Villain Groups that were composed of both custom and non-custom critters would only spawn the custom critters in missions. This has been fixed.
- Fixed a bug that could incorrectly exemplar players to a very low level when swapping missions.
Powers
General
- Fixed a bug where some powers (i.e. Healing Aura, Warmth) would occasionally root a character in place when the power was activated.
- Flight - Fixed a bug with windup animations while flying. (They were being interrupted by pre-flight animations, which were then interrupted by the windup animation, etc.)
- Shield Defense (All) - Fixed a bug that made leaping animations and sounds stutter while a character had a shield out.
- The Shivan Shard temp power now works correctly while exemplared. Previously, the summoning animation would play and a charge would be consumed, but nothing would be summoned.
Walk Power - All characters will now have access to a new inherent power -- Walk! This toggle power enables characters to move at a comfortable walking pace.
- The "Walk" power is an Inherent toggle power given to all characters at Level 2.
- Please Note that powers or jumping (i.e. pressing the Space Bar) cannot be used while walking.
- This power is not intended for use in combat.
- Walk - The Walk Power now has a new Icon.
- Walk - The Walk power is now interrupted by falling, swimming and sliding.
- Walk - Fixed a bug with Walk where Increase Slow IO set bonuses were affecting walking speed
- Fixed a bug with stunned enemies playing the Walk animation rather than the normal dizzy walk
Tailor
- All references to 'Talsorian' in the game have been changed to 'Vanguard'. Any character that currently uses any of these costume pieces or custom weapons will be required to change them when they make any changes at the Tailor/Facemaker. (Please Note that we granted Costume Tokens on the Live Servers on Tuesday, November 10th).
Tasks
- Fixed a bug where Task / Strike Forces with a Level range that includes Level 50 (in the TF/SF range) spawn at one level below the team's level.
CITY OF HEROES
Tasks
- Midnighter Club: Mercedes Sheldon's story arc Crown of Glory was not giving out a story arc completion reward upon speaking to the contact. This has been fixed and the appropriate reward is now issued by the contact at story arc completion.
