Is there a list of the buffs that the Mystic Fortune power gives?

Pretty surprised to see all positive reaction to this. The costume change emotes are pretty cool, but other than that this stuff all looks very mediocre. I guess 99% of all new costume parts are going to cost me 10 now? I just think we got some pretty terrific stuff with the Valkerie pack and Android pack...but this stuff just doesn't seem worth the money to me. Maybe I'm just being pessamistic cause I'm bored with the game after four years, but it seems like you all are brainwashed. It's just crazy to me to get all excited that you have to pay $10 for a couple costume peices and emotes that have been requested for years. Hope issue 15 reignites my love for this game, cause I'm just about over it.

I feel the same way to an extent. I don't mind paying for -extra- stuff, but I'm not really liking the content locked (35+, VG Merits, ITF, etc) or pay for it pattern that's appearing. The last free costume additions we got was the Day Job stuff. Honestly the whole Day Job thing is still a bit lame to me (not to mention the regular clothes we got).

While I do like the stuff included in the new pack, I'd like to see more -quality- free stuff too. I believe the last time we got some of that was i9 with the Stealth and ExProto stuff.

That's just how I feel about it.

I hope there's more than what we see. So far it looks kinda weak.

Will the costume change emotes work from the command line? I do most of my costume changes from there or via macros.

Great, now I'll have to redo two of the custom mobs in "Chains of Blood"....

...J/K, it's no trouble. I expect I'll get this by purchasing the box.

[/ QUOTE ]kidding or not, this is a new real consideration. maybe the new boosters might not have anything for my characters...but could i make a good MA enemy/ally out of this? and of course, i like the outfits, and can see several of my characters using them, so bought as soon as i can.

[*]Mystic Fortune Power:

Ever wanted to have your fortune read in game? With the Mystic Fortune power players will be able to offer to read each others fortunes. Having your fortune read gives a power buff based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and can give a positive or negative effect on that character for the next 20 minutes.

[/ QUOTE ]

I sure hope the effects of this power are deletable before 20 minutes ... I don't want some terd I don't know, running up to me, using their power, and now i'm debuffed for the next 20 minutes with no way to prevent it/remove it.

[/ QUOTE ]my guess is that tis an opt in thing, like teleports and ressurects. if you accept, you accept the result. hopefully they have fully vetted this for griefability because it could be annoying in the wrong hands.

Meh, it'll be a vet reward in 6 months, why pay $10 for it now.

Sounds really cool, isn't there plans to make a booster for all origins, Tech, Magic, Science and so on? I would love a Science booster.

Arbiter Fabulous approved!

I had accidentally seen a leak of the female sets involved and MY GOD it's been hard not linking everyone I know, Jay. How DO you outdo yourself each time?

I'm unbelievably surprised that people are willing to pay... for nothingness. yeah ok fine... costume pieces... that do nothing, but maybe make you look a little different. But ultimately it is of no real benefit. Although...... now that I think about it, if it helps you win costume contests... some of those have a pretty good pot... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. But beyond that I just dont get it. Why pay for this stuff?

I am not calling anyone down at all for doing this! I am genuinely curious, what are you motivations to paying money for this?

Even the little "power" you get, has a chance to DEBUFF??? NO THANKS! *puts $10 firmly in wallet*

Hercules · 04-09-2009 04:11 AM

So, is this the end of new free costume items? A number of these pieces have been on the request queue for a long time.

I love the new stuff, my only "Dooooom!" is that most of the pieces I really want for my female characters are listed for the males. Boo.

Oh crap...

... using Mystic Fortune power on my MM pets?

[/ QUOTE ]

Keep in mind, we know nothing of the power yet, other than its based on the tarot, and gives buffs, for all we know, it could have a 3 hour recharge.
