New Boostpack! : Cooking and Cleaning!

I just made this suggestion over in Jay's costume thread, asking for french maids (yet again) and Chef outfits. While I was typing it... I realized that such costumes might be worth more to Paragon Studios as a booster pack. Not that I've conducted a scientific pole or anything, but french maid outfits have been on wishlists for years... and I think a large percentage of the player base might be willing to pay extra for it.

So, here's the pitch. A new booster pack, titled Home-Ec. The story behind the booster pack is that Icon has started selling battle-ready costume parts to Home-Ec students from Paragon University. Of course, established heroes are able to browse Icon's new catalog of items.

Edit : Okay. Since I obviously didn't make this clear enough for the forums, I'm going to spell it out, in bold, because I'm annoyed.

For the Chef:

  • Battle Ready Front Apron: Capable of withstanding bullets, fire, and the occasional wild salmon : GUYS COSTUME PART
  • Battle Ready Chefs Cap: never again will the smoke from your grill get in your hair : GUYS COSTUME PART
  • Frying Pan : Mace : for that extra moment when you just need to hit something on the head, really, really, really hard
  • Kitchen Knives : Blades : Slice and dice with the best of them :
  • Salad Shooter : Assault Rifle : THAT IS -NOT- THE PROPER WAY TO USE A SALAD SHOOTER!
  • Lighting a Grill : Emote : picnic under Atlas! Picnic in Cap! Picnic Atop Loony the Mad's Place in Shardsville!

For the Maid:
  • Battle Ready French Maid Costume : Ooo La La, knock em dead : GIRLS COSTUME PART
  • Battle Ready Bonnet : Keeps the Sun, and the Hellions, out of your hair : GIRLS COSTUME PART
  • Feather Duster : Mace : it was expensive, but the streets of Paragon are so dirty, you had your feathers lined with impervium
  • Extended Feather Duster : Blades : Years of fighting dust have given you an ability to wield your extended duster like a rapier. Good thing it's Impervium Coated
  • Sweeping the Floor : Emote : Pull out a broom and sweep the ground. You'll need a pressure washer for the blood stains though

Special Power for Home-Ec Students : Teleport to University Campus Every 30 minutes. Never be late for class again.

Why would I buy a booster pack that only my female characters could use?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I guess I didn't make it clear enough.

Chef = guys

French Maid = Girls

***

although, in all fairness that is a good point. The equivelent of a Maid is a butler, but you can do a pretty good butler costume with the components already available.

I would so buy this. Jay or one of his new goons need to get working on this NOW.

I happen to have a food themed villainess (Terror Misu, sound it out), and I would be extremely disappointed if she was denied her apron and toque.

The last thing this game needs is men in french maid costumes.

Otherwise, /signed.
