Hey all,

Here is a little more info for those of you who have already picked up the SuperBooster II:Magic, or those who haven’t picked it up but are thinking about it.

SuperBooster II:Magic contains a number of amazing new emotes, giving your character the ability to juggle and perform card tricks. These emotes are incredible, and describing them doesn’t do them justice, so if you don’t already have the SuperBooster find someone who does and make them show you what they look like!

Here are the emotes:

I didn't know the basic juggle had an alternative command, but it sure gets an eyebrow raise from me.

I saw someone in Pocket D doing these last night, and was like.... "I know I have the magic pack, I know I can do those... what are the commands!"

I would love to see the commands somehow put into the UI, though honestly with Mantid's list it's pretty easy to bind or macro without that.

Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

There's one more costume change emote I'd really like to see:

"Booth": a phonebooth or something similar rises up out of the ground around the character, then descends revealing the new costume. Only works on the ground.

Hey, Lightning and Twirl are both homages to known characters, why not another one?

Ironically over the years this obvious "homage" costume change emote has probably been suggested more than any other one, even more than the ones we just got in this booster pack.

But that could very well be the reason why we DIDN'T get it. Sure comic geeks might be familiar with the Lightning and Spin/Twirl ones but pretty much -everyone- knows who the "phonebooth" one would be associated with. This game constantly has to make sure it doesn't identically copy preexisting IP and my guess is that a "phonebooth" costume change emote would be just TOO obvious to get away with. This is probably the same reason why we don't have a "reporter" Day Job either.

Who knows it might still happen, but I'm not going worry about it if it doesn't.

Any chance of adding a /e juggleice or /e jugglesnowballs to these. That would make these emotes even better.

Yeah one would think after producing juggle emotes for fire, electricity and magic that an ice one would've been trivial to implelment. They could've effectively just cloned and recolored the fire one whiteish and called it ice. *shrugs*

/em cardtrick works. The others are bugged, though.

I was running through my pre-existing "Torch Juggler" patter in the D with these. It needs to be rewritten, of course... but was still fun.

Something I noted with the ;jugglefire emote and the Fire Sword power... you can draw the flaming sword and keep juggling.

This.. is awesome. It looks like you're swatting the fireballs with the blade.

A fun routine was to start juggling regular balls... then switch to fire after bringing out the sword... then announce the "OK REALLY HIGH!" and go to ;waiting ... then launch Rain of Fire and duck into ;cower! OOPS!

I like to do a neat little trick, especially on my Ace of Crimson Clubs
you need someone else for this trick.
have them cast the fortune power on you, and before it hits you use the cardtrick emote, if you time it right, it looks like the cards go right to your hand, after this as you throw them in the air, cast them at someone else and have them repeat the process, I usually get a few "nice" and "awesome" comments as well as "how do you do that?"
or use the lightning costume change followed by the juggleelectricity emote as you are still not visible, it looks like the lightning went to your hands
also the lightning costume change and same thing as the above mentioned one, but use the grief emote and yell, OUCH! and it looks like you are struck by lightning


I know, I get bored......

[/ QUOTE ]Good arguments, I must admit. I agree that the Lightning Bolt costume change is probably pretty obscure outside of Superhero Fandom, but I would bet the Twirl is not that far behind the Phonebooth, thanks to the Wonder Woman TV series. Doesn't the phone booth cliché come from the visual media rather than the comics? As far as I know, it comes from the old cartoons and TV series, with a final homage joke about it in the '78 Superman movie.

Not does it have to be a phone booth. Make it a fitting room booth, with a curtain front, for an additional bit of "appropriateness".

Agreed, it may be too well known for them to feel comfortable with it, but I still hope we'll see it some day.

Ok so i can see a way to still get away with a phonebooth kind of thing - requierments: you have to be infront of an ingame door - have the character run in the door then come out of the door a few moments later in costume - there are enough doors in the game that this wouldnt be to hard to pull off - plus as we all know if you camp out in front of a working door when you log back in it appears you just walked out of said door - this is just that mechanic taken to the next lvl.

Also - has anyone found the actual card art? I would love to see a full color version of the cards - the tranclucent images look cool but to hard to make out details.
