Game and NC Store down, Mutant Super Booster coming?

Even if they do glow, I hope there's more to the pack than those two things.

I was really hoping for a new wolf's head ....

I'm still holding out for the pack that gives me actual kitten and cat models that I can dress up and use in-game (NOT catgirls, please!)

Unfortunately I do agree with another forum users assesment.

Overall the Bio Organic set...doesn't look very 'mutanty' IMO (Demonic oh hells yes..but not mutant), the Bioluminesence set however could be used for a reptillian/Shark person...but if that's everything we get and the announcement about new tails and new heads was incorrect...then...eh..be the first booster pack that slips into the 'meh' category for me. The other sets either had nice costume pieces (Cyborg, Magic) or really useful temp powers/effects (Martial Arts, SuperScience!).

I can see the secondary mutation being useful at low levels but...not sure if it's worth the £6 outlay just for that, though I can feel my inner collector going "BUY IT! MUST HAVE ALL OPTIONS!" it's the first time I've had the willpower to fight said inner voice. The costume change emotes are kinda cool...but I rarely use the ones I have at the moment.

Overall, without the added tails and new monsterous heads, it currently scores a 5/10 on the Mechano Meter. Magic and Cyborg ranked a 8/10, Martial Arts and SuperScience! ranked a 7/10, the wedding pack is a 5/10 as well but then I actually use some of the female costume options quite a bit and we didn't know whether that was the one and only superbooster at the time.

Mutie pack comes with Secondary Mutation random self-buffing power. I guess if the 2 costumes don't impress you, maybe having a personal Mystic Fortune will get the 10 bucks. i hit myself with the buff inherent (available at level 1 instead of being level 4 like NR for...no reason at all) and got a strength to Acc, melee/ranged/AoE def, perception radius buff. 20 minute recharge time. I guess it lasts 20 minutes, too. And one that's that's def to all the non-positionals (Tough Hide? Now they're just making fun of Resistance)...end redux/regen/status resistance...+movement speeds..+recharge...

Dunno. They'll probably get as many sales from the buff as they got sales from people just getting the ninja pack for NR. $10 for the ability to hit yourself with some fairly nice buffs. Only one I could see people whine about is the Movement speed booster since people whine about the Mystic Fortune movement speed booster. Seems a better power than the self destruct or the body slider thing the super science pack had, and whatever it was the wedding/valk packs had (emote throw rice? heh)..i've only seen self destruct useful in Sewers teams. And when people accidentally blow themselves up because they had it on their bar.

Organic Armor is very spikey. There's an alternate gloves/boots that doesn't have the swirly spikes on them. It looks like it's a WoW warlock pet or something, though, how in the world this is mutation themed I dunno. Maybe Outcasts are going to get an interesting appearance retconned in. Also, it looks pretty freakin' sweet with the spikey scrapper Spines tinted to match.

oh, if anyone cares, you can use the freaky faces with the Widow, too (but not the head spike armor).

omg there's a mutation that turns you into a Rikti Monkey apparently. either that or it's a joke the devs put in that you can't roll.

Cool. Bioorganic looks like a super-badass Succubus!

Also, those pictures are only showing Female models? Are there Male and Huge options, too? If so, do obtain pics.

Where are you getting these pictures from? I've been trying to log onto the EU test server for 2 weeks now and all I get is a message saying I can't get in with the reason being a blank field.

Is this something wrong on my end or is this closed beta?

Thankfully dear Rabbit I have both an EU and US account, which means I can get access to US test.

EU test is currently being used for Going Rogue Closed beta...or so many people reckon.

More pictures here if someone hasn't already mentioned it: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=225458

Wait, can someone please explain what's going on? Is the pack available for purchase or something? I can't see it in the PlayNC store, but it could just be hidden because it's bumping me down to the Euro version of the store.

Where are you people getting these screenshots from? And, yeah, I read the thread and I still don't follow.

These screenshots are coming from the Training Room. It was put up for testing and feedback last night.

US Test Server, it comes from, it's not up for purchase yet.

I'll still probably buy it, but it's not quite what I was expecting. Especially coupled with the small amount of costumes we get with issues now.

By all means, after looking at in on Test give your feedback: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=225400

Also, don't forget to check out the new and incredibly awesome costume change emotes.

Does anyone know if this is the entirety of the pack at all?
