Super Booster Pack V

In its entirety:
Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

In the morning,
Laughing happy fish heads,
In the evening,
Floating in the soup!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

Ask a fish head
Anything you want to,
They won't answer,
They can't talk!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

I took a fish head
Out to see a movie,
Didn't have to pay
To get it in!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

They can't play baseball,
They don't wear sweaters,
They're not good dancers,
They don't play drums!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

Rolly-polly fish heads
Are never seen drinking cappuccino
In Italian restaurants,
With Oriental women, yeah!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum, yum!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

Fish heads, fish heads,
Rolly-polly fish heads,
Fish heads, fish heads,
Eat them up, yum!

(i have an alternate version that goes, "Phish-heads, Phish-heads, Rolly-polly Phish heads, Beat them up, fun!" And so on...)

I have a feeling it may be costume pieces that were normally merged with other areas, being given their own area so we can put more on each character, ie tails being removed from belts and being given their own Tails category/option. Thereby allowing you to have a belt and a tail. Same possibly for horns and whatnot.

Just one guess based on some comments I've seen a dev or two make.


But personally, besides more costume pieces, I'd love having more limb options (maybe spider legs on your back as just a normal option for any character) and then of course I'd love to have another powers like some of the other packs have given.

One word: Tentacles!
Two words: Tentacles everywhere!

(Then i can bring Cephalopod Man back out of obscurity.)

Probably for stuff like Demon Summoning. Though it would be nice if we got some player-related animations too.

Are you sure? I thought they were considered Tech/Science for the purposes of enhancement drops.

Backstory wise, Rikti are very, very mutant

Just check out their Lost buddies

I would say that backstory wise they are science not mutant. First off the mutant origin implies that the person is different from the norm for their species and while they differ from humans the entire species is different in the same way. Secondly the Rikti mutations were deliberately induced by an alien species rather than being random mutations in the genetic code. Similarly the mutations exhibited by the Lost are deliberately induced using a mutagen rather than being part of their original genetic code.

That's still massively mutation-based

Right, but for origin you have to consider the cause of the mutation. If you were born with it then it's mutant origin. If it was deliberately or accidentally induced after your birth then it's something else (normally Science or Magic). Now admittedly the Rikti are born with it but the original mutation was introduced into their species genome using science.

Doesn't the Origin description for Mutation cover people who mutate after they're born?

Well, mutate with no explained magical cause or scientific experimentation.

Here's the description:
So it covers your powers manifesting after birth, but you were still born with the genes for them.

Hope that'd doesn't turn into another fad like City Of Neo (when trenchcoats came out).

...otherwise my morning commute is going to look like this....

I knew it was only a youtube link.
But I'm STILL gonna force feed you them.
All of them.

Will you level to 50 only on custom AE arcs with nothing but Snakes?

I haven't gone through the whole thread to see what might have been said about this. But ...

While I don't necessarily agree with the way origins have been laid out in the game (kinda confused about differences between Natural and Tech, Tech and Science, Science and Mutant, Mutant and Natural, Science and Natural, Natural and Magic, Mutant and Magic, ...) I think the basic distinction between Natural and Tech is that Tech items are powered and/or produced as the result of a high-tech process.

Natural items like swords and bows depend upon the user's strength and dexterity to be effective. Guns and flamethrowers and such that are really just modern versions of Middle Ages technology could also be considered as Natural.

A Tech origin would involve a dependence upon things that have computer circuitry, energy effects, and high-tech performance-enhancing drugs that must be taken repeatedly for effect.

But the lines are blurry, especially if you consider Science and Magic as additional explanations for powered items.

This is pretty much deliberate. If you look at how the dual-origin enhancements at setup the two origins that an enhancement works on always have a rather thin dividing line, in fact the list of distinctions that confuse you is almost the same as the list of dual origin enhancement types .

To me, the distinction between Natural and Technology origins is the availablility of the technology.

If the technology is common, available to anyone (within reason), or generally accepted, then it fits in just fine with Natural. Even a high-tech gun like the Assault Rifle would be Natural if you consider it to be standard issue for military of the time. This is how a Natural hero can have teleportation abilities. While not in the hands of everyone, teleporters are routinely used by hospitals, police drones, and various other agencies.

If the tech is one-of-a-kind, customized, or otherwise unusual then it would be Technology origin. A guy who builds a freeze ray device and straps it to his arms is a Tech origin. A Crey scientist who is issued a freeze ray is Natural.

That's a good point.

One other aspect of this always comes to mind for me, though it doesn't really have much of a role in this game.

To me the real point of declaring an origin is to determine what type of milieu or what type of foes you see your character existing in / fighting with.

For example, normally a Natural hero like Tarzan, Shang Chi, or possibly Daredevil or Batman would fight against foes who are also of Natural origin.

Science heroes like Superman and the Fantastic Four fight primarily against foes of science origin.

It's a feature I'd like to see explored in game content. It may have even been part of the original plan for CoH, as you can see with the various origin based contacts (MAGI, ELITE, etc.), but a concept that was dropped almost immediately, probably due to a desire to limit content creation.
