True but not everyone in the thread is replying to the OP. Some of us enjoy the conversation that is caused by these random threads.

QFT. The failure to be funny, coupled with my extremely cynical mood over that one suggestion in a different thread about replacing Wormhole in Gravity Control with an AOE slow, did an excellent job of disguising the fact that it was meant as a joke.

If it has fish fins and fox tails, i will be really happy. but really the packs are all about single takes on broad themes, not all natural heroes are practitioners of asian martial arts, but the natural pack focused on that(to my distinct pleasure), so really it is as much an attempt to make a focused fix of a thematic hole as anything. and we need some new monster parts.
I like to think of my mutants in a tuxedo t-shirt saying, "I am here to be formal and I am here to party!"

I completely ignore the Mutant Origin in the game as I feel it's an unnecessary subdivision of the Natural Origin.

Secondary Mutation:

You acquire a secondary mutation. This grants a random permanent buff for up to 20 minutes. No more than one Secondary Mutation can be in place at a time.

Self Targeted Mystic Fortune.

LOL, these posts actually revealed the pack's unique power and nobody seems to care...

^ This, this soooo much!

I would LOVE squirrel and Fox tails or simply a generic fluffy long tail model with seperate templates (Stripe, alternating color between trunk and tip of tail, none). I would also like the option to have these as animated and non-animated.

oh, face tenticles for the cthulhu inspired concepts and mutant aura's and new skins.

P.s. OMG, i've been quoted. d

Realistic butt physics.



EDIT: Y'know, without a quote for context, those three words sound very strange...
EDIT EDIT: Maybe I have Tourette's or something. Does it still count as Tourette's if you type it?
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Fantastical Butt Physics would also be acceptable.


Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

Hmm.

[Secondary Mutation]

*Click*

Still nobody cares for [Secondary Mutation]. Maybe you don't really wanna know what's in the pack, just make some random tail suggestion. FYI, Secondary Mutation uses the same icon with Mystic Arcana, as Vanden's icon pack replaces the grey icon shown in PowerLeveler's screenshots with the orange playing cards icon Mystic Arcana currently uses.

I don't really get why people think tails are a "mutant" feature. SexyJay also hates furries so I doubt we'll be getting them any time soon, he needs a shower after doing those animated ones...

No, I just assumed it was more speculation with a photoshopped up pic. There's been no announcement to my knowledge what's in the pack. Even if there was, it's not available yet, so where did the pics come from?


Dec out.

I have a Mind/Energy dom called Ms. Foxglove. Her costume is fox ears and a tail (Like cat-woman or Squirrel Girl) you can have a tail and NOT be a furry.

This is a furry:



Creepy, no?

Oh, I would love a fat-slider with the mutant pack.

I tried it in game and it does indeed bring up the power description. I personally hadn't commented on it since I assumed that the information was originally discovered via .pigg diving, which is verboten to discuss on these forums. A couple of the witch patterns were discovered that way prior to the magic pack release.

I also didn't say much because it is kinda meh IMO since we already have the tarot cards that function in the same manner. And nothing about the description clearly says that this is a self buff. The icon is even a targeted buff. So it may actually be exactly a clone of the tarot cards with a thematic skin change. If the devs were going to recycle one of the powers from all the other packs, I would have much preferred a feral run style. Eh. C'est la vie!

Like I said (at the start of the thread...), dive in-game and type [Secondary Mutation]. Looks like they accidentally published it to Live.

The detailed info says "Target: Self".

Not all players team, so I'm glad we get a Self-targeted Tarot. Also,you can stack secondary Mutation and Mystic Arcana and double the fun.

Ninja run "leaked", too, forcing a quick release. Also, Paragon wiki revealed [Kinetic Strike], a Syndicate's Kinetic melee attack with self damage buff, foe damage debuff. Just type [Kinetic strike] ingame.

Well we all know who doesn't get an "A" for reading comprehension this week. Thanks for pointing it out!

Okay, dude, people need to stop equating furries with sex. That's like saying "This is anime" and linking a screencap from a poorly-dubbed hentai, while ignoring the existence of high-budget, nonsexual things like Hayao Miyazaki films. You know what else is a furry? This. Here is another. Getting into things I didn't draw myself, we have this and this. I fail to see anything creepy about these characters, and I curse the very loud minority of furries who give a bad name to all fans of the subset of anthropomorphic art - and a quick search on Google will get you just as much creepy stuff, plenty of it creepier than that picture by a large margin, of human superheroes (a search for Sue Storm yesterday, to get ideas on how to render partial invisibility, brought up some stuff that was downright disturbing... with Safe Search ON).

For the record, I dig humans.
