Neither one looks... pleasant :P
Yeah, you can see the ridiculous midsection when using the ... which emote is it? Sit? The one where your legs are bent but your feet and butt are on the floor, and your elbows are on your knees? Yeah, the torso looks.. painful and inhuman there too. Always has. I bump up the body slider on almost all of my toons and it doesn't help in that direction, unfortunately.

Honestly I think the Devs know exactly what they're doing. I've wondered for a long time when Robotics was going to get nerfed, but it's still as sick a set as ever. I really think it's working as intended.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that when you switch builds, Ninja Run and Walk are both subject to the 15-minute no-use timer. Hopefully there's a fix coming down the line.

I think the power is just fine. It does what it appears to be made for. It's a free travel power. I've seen people complain about the end cost, or that it suppresses, or that it doesn't stack with SJ or SS. But if any of those were changed, it WOULD be too good.

What it is right now is an SS/SJ substitute that, because it's free, isn't as good as those things. It costs high end and isn't stackable because it's not a replacement for Sprint, but rather for SS/SJ. As it is, the power isn't as good as taking a real travel power, but it's better than not having one at all.

Considering anybody in the game can get a jetpack for free at level 5 and use that, having a free run/jump travel power seems perfectly fair and balanced.

Can you put the costumes in the pictures as sets in costume edditior?

I agree 100%

Well, I'm a sucker and will surely end up buying this. I was hoping the Ninja Run would include some small stealth component since Ninjas are sneaky.


We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

And DCU beat them (at least as far as a public reveal goes).

Given that JDub touted some of the "virtues" of CO during the beta phase (IIRC, if not I'm wrong) he had to know about CO's acrobatics at a bare minimum.

That's why his statement struck me as a "I'm JDUB and I invented Windows 7" scenario.

How about you don't ask the costume designers and animators to fix code issues?

Because, clearly, all the same people are involved in those two completely different and separate projects/activities.

Sigh.

Will people ever get it?

WOW, what a great job you guys did on this booster pack. I had to make a new toon and I have to share -- N'ZAN, (I couldn't think of another name at the time) :P

Braided Buns with the "youthful" head scale setting looks partially bald with bangs in front and braids hanging in the back. From the front it sort of looks like a Japanese haircut whose name i can't recall. Or a botched version of a European monk's tonsure.


Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

SQUEEEEE! Imma design the costume today. I'm still not going to roll the toon until GR.. but YAAY! Now I'll have someone who can take over the Buccaneers! (I hope I don't burn myself out on Dual Blades..)

I luv NINJA RUN....

I have two toons now that use it as a travel power. Getting to 50mph run speed is easy and more than adequate for a travel power. It also frees up an entire power-set choice by doing so. With Ninja Run and a back up flight pack we're no longer forced into choosing a travel power if we don't want to.

Also, the Ninja Leap with claws is very cool. The jump animation is both arms crossed in front with a fancy "arms out" landing. This is going to work very well for anyone wanting to roll an "acrobatic" concept toon (a'la Beast, Nightcrawler, etc...). Great JOB...Ninja's are indeed cool!


My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn

I've been trying but failing to add this to my Mids' so I can play with it a little in some future builds.
But I am not having any luck.
What's the trick?

I do not understand the mids editor at all. Very cumbersome. Not complaining, but it's definitely not for the casual poker. >_>

Is female fancy braid for this pack suppose to be clipped and have a bald spot?

My Magical Girl has the hair piece and I have a huge bald spot.

Apparently the hair style doesn't scale well if you've adjusted the cranium slider.
