Bought and applied!
More costume pieces! LOVE!! I can't wait to try out those gloves and shoulder pieces. Those boots look awesome too!
And Ninja Run might become my favorite travel ever. Can't wait to try it out.

At level 50, it's even nicer:
Max Jump Height: +31.80 Ft,
Jumping Speed: +33.93 MPH
Running Speed: +34.36 MPH
It combines well with swift and hurdle, but can't be used at the same time as Super Speed or Super Jump.
My story arcs: #2370- Noah Reborn, #18672- The Clockwork War, #31490- Easy Money
Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?
Gah! The NCSoft site is borked, can anyone provide screenies?
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.

It sounds okay for... what it is. But I was really hoping for more "universal" Natural choices than only a bunch of martial arts stuff. I'm not really interested in making ninjas so the booster sounds like a dud to me personally. Everyone who wanted something like this though, I'm happy for ya.|

Edit: I'll say that I haven't seen the costumes yet so maybe I'll change my tune if they have more universal application. I'm just giving initial impressions of the news.
Done. I have far too many ninja-themed and -inspired characters not to pick this up, not to mention my many other Natural characters who it'll fit well. Very nice.
Please somebody tell me that the tai with skin gloves option is bugged, cause those are some ripped forearms for a female.
Here's the Broadsword options:
Chinese Broadsword
Chinese Jian
Chinese Dao

*respecs SR scrappa into Swift*
One thing I CAN say, though - I LOVE the costume pieces so far. The Shredder helmet is incredible, and the kimonos are pretty nice. I've yet to see the rest, but they're definite keepers.
Pity I see the run as such a controversy.

Apparently it lacks the very useful stealth of SS too though. It seems quite analogous to the GvE jump pack to me. I know quite a few people have posted saying they've either forgone travel powers totally or actually taken Super Speed where they haven't before, just because the pack adds that all-important vertical mobility. I grant you that GvE wasn't a booster, but this is hardly THAT game-changing. Ninja Run is not AS fast as SS nor does it have the stealth, it doesn't have the height of SJ, or the utility of flight. And it provides no particular combat advantage for the vast majority of people.|

Speed it up a bit, give it a bit more air and it IS a travel power on par with Super Jump easily. It just seems... Unfair that they're handing that around without a power pick at level 4 in a paid booster pack. On of the BIG things with Booster Packs is that they've had anything that gave any real, big gameplay benefits, and this does.

...Oh my, the ring-pommeled broadsword people were clamoring about in that other thread, that BAB avoided mentioning....

Lol yeah, that's the key. |

Oh well, more ninja costumes was such a common request anyway.
You'll pay for this Captain Planet!!!!!!
For my Natural characters though, especially the US ninja-esque The Moral, it's made of win. Doesn't stack with Combat Jumping which is a shame, but it may free me up a power pick. The ordinary emotes are of the better quality we've been getting lately, and I do love Ninja Leap CCE.
Got a few ideas how to use the costumes, and come Going Rogue...
Ninja running, /e bringit-ing on, berobed practitoners of Gun kata, anyone?

I've not tested this, but it suppresses in PvE, so I would expect it to.

Yeah, that's about right... Please Mr. BABs, Mr. Sexy Jay, give the Katana users some lovin' too?

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I can make a Shredder with these pieces. Just need the Unreal blades to complete it.
Does anyone happen to have a good idea of what all the pieces in this pack actually are? Why is it so hard for them to just LIST the pieces we're getting so we don't have to keep asking each other what we just got?

I've heard the endurance cost is more than sprint, can anyone confirm?
Buying this when I get home, looks sweet!

Double that of Sprint, but since the Ninja Run is a travel power, what difference does it make?

It really depends on what $10 means to you. For me it's almost the exact amount I spent on lunch today. The Martial Arts pack will be around a lot longer then my lunch will. |

-Increased costumes options
-Better community
-Better Devs
-Better balance
-Better.

The endurance cost is 0.49/s. (For reference, Sprint = 0.29/s and SS = 0.46/s) It can't be slotted for EndRdx, though.

It's likely they are available to Katana, but I don't have a Katana character to check. I do have a Broadsword user, that's why I posted the Broadsword pics. |

*edit* Since I'm a nice guy, I went and made a Katana Scrapper to check. As far as I can tell, the only option for Katana is the Chinese Broadsword:
*edited edit* Also, it seems that Ninja blade is the same, for stalkers. Dual Blades get all three choices for either hand.
