Hmm I wonder what that's for?

He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

TBH from the advert the pieces don't impress me that much at all. I just hope I'm proved wrong.

Power looks fun, but it'd have to fit the concept of a toon or it'd look weird.

Just odd that we've had no mention of it just yet.

Just keep an eye on the US forum, holding your breath for news here is bad for ya health.

Well that just kind of peeves me a lot, normally things in the EU work to an EU schedule unless it's a major Issue release which they need the devs onhand for so it kind of makes sense that they would wait.

Can't help but feeling the recent shakeup is also affecting this but that might just be my paranoid mind going into conspiracy theory mode <shrugs> and probably is.

Servers in the EU work to an EU schedule.

But the EU Boards and Website servers are hosted in the US, for some bizarre reason. So we've to go by their timeframe.

Don't ask me why a company which constantly made a point of being seperated from its US counterpart, in the form of NCEU still had its servers in the US.

I have but one question about the self-destruct. Is it interruptable?

Where is cyborg pack?

I've been saving up pennies and would like to buy it!

well sorry folks but it's looking more and more like we'll be getting it at the same time as the US...no announcement (still) either way which would have been kind of nice to know when it was due to go live over here (sorry I know you lot at NCsoft Europe are going through a very tough time right now but that is kind of slacking).

So looks like it'll be 9pm tonight for us folks...

on the upside it does give me a chance to chase down the little swines in STALKER that nicked my stash, or to get in a quick ITF

@Thread...

Auras: Meh! Don't much like auras anyway and these seem a little awful.
Power: OMG! WANT!!! I love the look of this.
Costume: Apart from one or two things in the linked img list I think I can find uses for all of them, but then most of my characters are semi cyborg in some way.

For those keeping score from home, you may recall Positron mentioning the next two Booster Packs in his letter to the community announcing Issue 13. These are the Super Booster I: Cyborg and Mini Booster: Temporary 30 Day Jetpack.

We had a bit of a leak regarding these Booster Packs and wanted to verify them and let you know that these exciting new additions are planned to be available on Wednesday, September 17th in the mid afternoon.

So, be sure to check back on Wednesday for all the details!

Sad sums it up totally.

How on earth they considered this worthwhile is beyond me. I'm not hugely impressed with the Cyborg pack but at least its useful to those that want it.

This is just pathetic and doesn't seem to make much financial sense to me.

Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe there will be idiots buying this over and over for each of their new toons?

To be fair the jetpack was pester-requested in the US as it was included with a retail item and others wanted access to it.
I don't think it appeared over here (I've never seen any flying around). If those who clamoured for it want to spend $8.99 on a power that only lasts 30 days, *shrugs* that's their problem.

I too have to agree that this is disappointing. I've been waiting for a permanent jetpack *costume piece* for ages now, or at least since Issue 8 when veteran rewards first appeared. Only wings then, but when I read about costume piece recipes in I9, I got my hopes up. Sadly, only stupid rocket boots etc there. Then I10, I11 and I12 came and went, and still no real jetpack.
