Eventually, can we revise Prestige Sprints in a similar fashion:
Turn them into unslottable Sprint powers (at a percentage of their current run speed bonus[and with slightly differing running animations (outside of the aura)]) that can be stacked with regular Sprint... kind of like having a graphical palette of toggling Swifts to be able to choose from?
...possibility of an alternative Ninja Run and Walk animation?
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
Note on NR; when going from a backwards run to a backwards flip; the movement of the flip contradicts the PoV of the run.
[jumping from a backwards Walk does the same thing... isn't jumping supposed to be disabled when in Walk mode?]

I wonder if they'll make a Praetorian booster pack, with things like Praetorian Police uniforms, and maybe some Resistance-style costume parts too?Or they could even start making faction booster packs, that wopuld give you some of the NPC costume parts - like a Nemesis one, with Nemesis Army breastpaltes and helmets, and some steampunk themed power - or a 5th Column pack, or a Circle of Thorns pack.

I got a few great suggestions from the CoH LJ community, and here's what I've ended up with! WOO!
Nice! 
I haven't yet made much out of the new parts. I plan on using the gloves on at least one outfit eventually (after the skin texture bug is fixed), and I've used the shoulderpads on a couple. I want to use the robe you have going there but I haven't figured out what to use it for yet.
Also, +rep for wielding different weapons. I always liked that concept but I rarely see it explored when I run into DB toons.

Unless I go "SPACE_WORD_FOR_COPULATION this, I'll just get another for EU. It's cheaper than a nice lunch."
Or I go without Ninja Run and have that absolutely freaking brilliant chirashi plate for lunch.

Very nice. When i saw the new helmet pieces one of my first thoughts was (oddly enough) "Sylph Knight has probably been waiting for a helmet like this for years." 
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Very nice work, Slyph Knight.
I'm having way too much fun with these costume pieces, here's one that I'll never play, but enjoyed creating.

I love the new booster. Ninja Run alone was worth the $10, but I'll get plenty of use out the costume parts too.
After using Ninja Run with the Freakshow Tank halloween cosume, I got an idea for a new character. He's T3h N1nj4 Fr34k, a MA/Regen Scrapper.

grat, glad you are doing this. usually i assume that the packs are kind of sold "As-is" hate to add a beg, but would there be a way to seperate the fur from magic boleros? the wing really works for a mermaid character i have, but that fur just breaks theme, could i beg that into possible improvements?

Just FYI, some more changes coming to the Ninja Run animations in the near future:
Jay and Cheryl are also looking into various issues with costume pieces. |

Does anyone have a good picture of the "new" female hair?
Because the one featured in the original post is the same old coiled braids that we've had since forever.
Also also, why couldn't we also have a new bow? Ninja used bow too. (I know a grappling hook would be asking too much)
The Beta is full of bugs?
How can that be?!

Ok, not done this before, so hope I do it right|

ooooooh, nice!
*runs off to change her kat/sr*
I unlocked the second and third costume slots on my character Captain Fashion, and made for her a SWAT suit and a semi-PPD hardsuit using several of the Ninja pieces. I'm going to get far more use out of this pack than I had feared, so that's awesome!

All the other threads load fine, except this one. Now I can't see any responses I may receive here. |

Sprint and Ninja Run can be stacked. Just activate both, and you will get the Sprint boost plus the boost from Ninja Run. |

I'm not sure what percentage that means. |

The set is called Warrior and contains all the basic items with the name "Warrior", but once there it's easy to find the Terra and Tai stuff. For a full list (as far as I know) you can check out the article on Paragon Wiki (http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Super_Bo...:_Martial_Arts).

I'm PAINFULLY well aware that NONE of the actual pet costumes can be colored, changed, or modified in any way except for Necromancy summoning and other power animations. I was hoping this super booster WOULD have changed that. And I was, and am STILL Disappointed, but not surprised, that MM's couldn't do this with their pets. |

And as to being unusable at the same time as Super Speed or Super Jump, it would make those powers overpowered, in the sense that no one would ever need to slot enhancements in them for anything other than endurance reduction. It is currently balanced exactly how the developers want it.

Ugh me stoopid but can someone point out where the Oni-ish bottom mask half is located and what is it named? I look under masks but I couldn't find it. In case you want to know what I am talking about I am talking about this...

By the way, with this being released now, and still about 6 months until GR goes live, I think it's almost certain that we'll see the Mutant origin pack out before then - which would make sense, so any new players getting into the game with GR would have booster packs for all the origins available to them.
