Nah these are optional costume additions - they will still add new ones to standard issues.

Its up to you whether you want to buy the themed packs or not.

Yeah, I know...I'll admit it I'm a costume fanatic and I'll buy it just like all the others. But when was the last time we got free costume pieces? All I can think of is the wedding pack, cyborg pack, valkarie pack and now this. It's been a long wile since we got anything free when it comes to costumes. (I think? I really can't remember any new costume pieces that were free since they started charging for it)

We got the unlockable Roman armor in Issue 12, I believe the Pumpkin Head was a new addition to last year's Halloween event, and we got a bunch of new costume items geared toward secret identities with the advent of Day Jobs in Issue 13. Issue 14 didn't offer any new costumes, but then, I14 barely offered anything aside from Architect.

Did you not read my earlier post, how about the costume stuff released with i13 and day job badges, as well as the dozen or so shields that were released with said power set, I never expected any new costume parts in the i14 update itself since technically i14 was more like i13 part 2 since the MA system was originaly going to be part of i13

Agreed but then again I am not one to gripe, I'm happy with what we have, I just don't wanna wait any more

bzald · 04-14-2009 06:48 AM

hmm no sign of it in the online NCsoftstore of either the booster or the box set so maybe only retail? or maybe to early

sincerly yours:

You know, I'm sick of this statement. All too often I read CoX loyalists who seem happy to hand over hard cash for this things like this. By indicating that the player has the right to choose whether or not to purchase the expansion pack as some means of justification is extremely misleading and frustrating as we actually DO pay a fee for the game already. What does my monthly fee go to if not towards new content, maintenance, and proper staffing?

So, the fact is, if we want to experience new costume sets (which most people usually do) we're forced to eat an additional fee on top of the monthly. The fact that we're even put into this position is a valid point and should not be so readily dismissed.

Other post in the forums said it was supposed to be available in the online store at the same time it hits shelves, but your right it isn't there yet and I am very sad about that servers are starting to come back up I figured that would mean the booster was for sale, but alas I fear not

Shadow Wail · 04-14-2009 06:57 AM

Is it up yet...I don't see it in the store.

Also...Most people here do not and will not mind paying for exclusive items. I don't think people should gripe about something optional, it makes people look petty and weak.

I say the more perks we can buy in addition to our monthly fee is fine as long as they are optional, when we have to buy ALL of our costumes, them I will complain but as long as there is a decent mix of purchasable and free costumes then I am fine. I paid for most of the store items with the exception of the wedding pack, it was optional so iI chose not to buy it

The reason that we are being given these boosters is because they bring a spike in revenue.

I say with the money from these boosters...use them to advertise the City of Franchise...even the Cartoon Network MMO has a good commercial...lord

Shadow Wail · 04-14-2009 06:58 AM

Damos, you can buy the booster just like the Mac pack with 1 month of game time and the booster for 20 bucks?

One possibility as to why we are paying for more is because people are dropping like flies from this game and the devs need to make up for lost revenue.

I wonder what the next booster will be? Can we get a natural, mutation or science booster? My vote goes for Mutation

Seems too early, I wonder if wal-mart is going carry this? I know I'd like a copy to install post i14 now, last one I have is GvE.
