Yay, no more Boss-name Woss-name!
Also, incoming costume bits. 
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
There appear to be some things MISSING from the costume selections. Better haul over to the feedback thread to see what I mean.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
Ok,
I wil admit I was expecting something totally different with this booster and am in a way, slightly disappointed that human / animal hybrids a la Dr. Moraeu were not included, as I know they have been called for for a long time. Hate the furries all you want, I think that would have been an awesome inclusion for the set.
As it stands though. I do like the costume parts, It's a different animal than what I was expecting, and so, I'm trying to figure out how these parts will be utilized with the other sets. Jay/Cheryl, you have done good, don't get me wrong, these are works of art. To me, they don't seem as.. approachable, if thats the term, as the parts from the other bppster sets, with time I'm sure very interesting uses will be had.
One thing, in the notes it said more tails, and I am not seeing them, also, I see the growl emote, again, something that would lend it self to spliced/hybrid/Moraeu/furry/whatever you wanna call it type characters, and again, they are not present.
I will be buying this, hands down, but I don't know how often I'll find myself using the costume parts, it's so good as a set but so tricky to use as parts.
I'm torn, I'm stunned at the sheer artistry, these are GORGEOUS, but I do not know how to use them.
The costume emotes.. sweet hot cross buns of mercy, BABS, whoever did them.. WOWIEWOWWOW! They are by far, the best ones to date.
the new power, I'm just trying it out, but I am really liking it!
Can we get a response from Jay/Cheryl/David on the ideas behind the new costume sets, and their vision on how the parts could be used? I *WANT* to embrace them, just finding it a bit tricky.
With love,
Arbie Fab
COMING SOON: A new Epic that will change the way you see Arachnos...
Brought to you by @Equation
The Bioluminate, Male, Chest has an ugly seam regardless of peck size.
Also, the animation for Secondary Mutation loops, and loops, and loops...
-----------------
All over, some neat ideas; But I agree with Equation: While I am not a furry lover, it does seem to have missed the mark some. The animal heads in the game now are just lacking, and yet they give us a growl emote that seems out of place without new "Mutant" heads? Just doesn't feel like they did their homework.
I get the Bioluminecent set, is there to say "hey, things are going to glow like they will in Going Rogue (Because it was cool in Champions and we -really- need to catch up to the competition with DCUO coming out soon). This is not Snark, I -love- glowing bits... I just wonder if this pack could have added some Mutant Auras from the get go; like we have access to the Combat Hud... but, you know, mutant (Shimmers, Dazzels, Psionic Halos, ect...). If this is a preview, I look forward how they will step up and drive the point home and give us LOTS more glowing options on parts in CoGR.
All in all the BEST stuff in this set are the Costume Change emotes (I mean just... WOW!) but... I am not sure if they are $10 good, considering they are just 1/3 of the stuff we got.
I am not ungrateful, it just doesn't feel... Mutant. Maybe call it the "Weird Pack". :|
And come ON! How can you give us green BOILS and -not- give us access to /puke?! 
------------------------
I would love a version of the Organic Armor HEAD that does not have the "stuff" crawling on it. Since the eyes are glowing and the texture is so detailed.
Also, when are we going to wake up and see in the patch notes:
• All old faces have been upscaled and painted over to support a greater pixel density and mesh with our goals for Going Rouge. (?)
That would be great.
As the others said, and this is not a down on these pieces. They are beautiful, no argument there. The Bioluminescent pieces are a thing of wonder. The wings with the bioluminescence are wonderful, too!
Thing is, though, for wishing to keep up with Champions being on the cutting edge of costume creation. You missed the mark on one of the finer features of their costume creator. I too had hoped for more beast like creature pieces and heads and at the very least wolf tails to go with the not-very wolflike heads we've had for ages.
For ages we have asked for better animal heads, better animal tails and despite furries/anthros/mutated animals/werewolves, etc being hated, they are still a part of the genre and have been sorely lacking. The ones we have are disappointingly not really what I personally would like for animal type creatures or dragons or anything of that sort.
The pieces are nice, again, but it seems you were going more for mutated plant or insectoid things which is really nice but I think it would have been nice to have something a bit wider scoped, as well. I would say you've missed the mark on this one. Sadly.

I must be missing something, as I don't see any glowing pieces for Organic Armor or Bioluminescent. They look cool, but they definitely aren't glowing.

Really. Not at all amused by this. Thanks for the shaft. Again.

See the brighter red parts, that look like gashes? That's the glowing area for the Bioluminescent set. It's not a full on glow like an Aura, but it does stand out in dark areas/at night.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
Which is at least some very good news, in that they've cracked the tech hurdle to have player owned glowy pieces...which makes me a very happy camper, might I add =]

Is this set to go live tomorrow? Because Secondary Mutation is incredibly broken and they know its missing parts (tails at the minimum).
If they do, I'm going to be very disappointed with QA... because there is none with this patch.
Still here, even after all this time!

Don't confuse the patch with the Booster Set.

There were only 3 bug-fixes other than the booster pack... what am I supposed to think?

RIP, BOSS_NAME. You were the best boss of all.
I am new to the game, and I am really having a lot of fun with it. I know this is an old thread, but just wanted to comment a little on the booster pack. I think it really sounds cool, and I think it is awesome that you seem to add new content all the time. I am wondering when there might be a new booster pack available?
Quote:
There have been a few, the most recent one is the Steampunk booster. It will also most likely be the last 'booster', as the game is transitioning to a f2p/freemium model. As such, going forward, you're going to see more individual items for sale.|

That is not to say they won't be releasing bundle packs or such, which is quite possible, but in general we get to look forward to more items than necessarily themed packs.
Let's Dance!
The City of Heroes® Super Booster V: Mutant release is up for testing on the Training Room for a limited time! This booster pack features will be available for all player characters on the Training Room. The costume change emotes** listed below require unlocking at least one additional costume slot.
Mutant Theme Costume Sets
The Mutant theme costume sets unlock all-new heads, armor, sleeves, shoulders, gloves, tails, wings, pants and boots.
Both costume sets include tintable costume pieces, a new feature that allows you to create unique glows for individual costume pieces.
Secondary Mutation Power
Tap into the incredible potential locked within your DNA. Secondary Mutation allows your character to mutate itself for amazing, unexpected results. Charge into battle with new abilities. Be careful, they may help your foes more than you.
Character Emotes
Costume Change Emotes
Activate the following mutant-themed costume change emotes using the costume change interface, selectable from the main Menu.
**By default characters only have one costume slot, and must unlock additional costume slots through activities in the game. This can be accomplished by completing costume slot missions at levels 20, 30, and 40, and by using Halloween Event salvage (which can also be bought and sold via the in-game Consignment Houses).
