Super Booster V - Emotes: Feedback

Character Emotes

• Showoff
• Growl

• Energy Morph
• Rapid Boil
• Dimensional Shift

Subjective:

I love the new Dimension Shift ccemote. It's beautiful.

Rapid Boil...it looks like you sprout a few unmoving fungus, then change; I'm not sure what it's meant to be.

Energy Morph, I like but not the demon-crater that appears beneath you. It doesn't feel like it belongs, and would look great without it.

/e growl is wonderful. Cool concession for those wanting a character to move on all fours.

<3 the crater.

Energy Morph amuses me, it reminds me of the time travel thingie from the Terminator series

Subjective:

The change emotes are fantastic! All of them. Gonna be using those, no doubt about it.

Growl is... cute I suppose.

Showoff is a fine emote, but in no way at all makes me even think I may at some undefined point in the future possibly think about mutation.

Subjective:

;growl puts (male) wings in odd looking position. Please consider bending them further back when emoting that if possible.

Subjective: Showoff seems to animate a bit too quickly.

Growl is fun.

Show off is animated far too fast. At that speed it is more begging approval than showing off.

Slow down the animation and it will go from,

"Whaddaya think guys? Huh huh huh huh?!?"

to

"Hah! What did you think of that?"

Agreed. Slow it down, please.

The rest of them are good, though I wonder what some of them have to do with mutations at all. Energy Morph and D-Shift seem to be more science or Portal Corp related than mutant, and Show Off is fairly non-specific. Only Growl and Rapid Boil feel like they belong in the mutant pack.

Subjective:

Energy Morph costume change is gorgeous. One of the best. The pose and effects are totally 80's Xmen IMO. Perfect for powerful characters. Love it.

Dimensions Shift is pretty nice. Not my favorite, but definitely a good one.

Rapid Boil was the one I was most looking forward to by name. Ultimately rather meh. But I do have at least one character that will use this. Fits the theme of this pack.

Subjective: As others have said, Showoff needs to be slowed down, but Growl is neat.
ccemotes- I love them all. Even boil, for which I have no plan to use at all. Keep the crater pleaseee.

Objective: Growl does not work in flight. I hope it is meant to.

Subjective - Costume Change Emotes
Rapid Boil - Not bad. First time I saw it, I was like, "OK. Not bad... EWW!! NEAT!!" I like it!!

Dimensional Shift - This is pretty freakin' awesome!! I lurvs it!! Oh yeah!!

Energy Morph - Best. CCE. EVAR!! I freakin' LOVE this freakin' AWESWEETASTIC CCE!!

Subjective Feedback - Standard Emotes
Showoff - Something felt a little... off about this one (no pun intended), and I think the other posts above are right... it's too fast.

Growl - 3 words come to mind with this: "ZUUL, ************!! ZUUUUULLLL!!" LOVE IT!!

I'm totally buying this booster when it releases. Been waiting for it, since my main is Mutation.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Wing placement on Male and Female models during /em growl looks strange. It needs to be at LEAST above eye level.
Growl is very feral and fitting of a bestial Mutant. Spot on emote.
/em showoff is perhaps a tad fast. If it's intended use was primarily as a "see how awesome I am?" after a spawn slaughter, then yeah. Slow 'er down a touch.
The only real Mutant-y feeling CCE is the Boil. The other two, while certainly awesome, look like they missed the boat from the Technology pack. But we already have the Howl, which is a good alternative.

Question for BaB's, (although he appears to have retreated from the players altogether) what kind of problems would you face with having the Dimensional Shift player "shadows" reflect the other unlocked costume slots instead of just a generic baseline model, or even just the current player geometry?

Subjective Feedback: Though I find Dimension Shift and Energy Morph a closer fit to Technology or Science origins, I can understand why it's included with Mutants since those origins can overlap. I, for one, will be using those two on 90% of my characters.

The Showoff emote makes no sense though. Unless you're trying to say something about mutants! Growl I can do without; it looks a bit awkward on anything but feral characters, or anything with wings. Despite that there's plenty reasons for me to pick this booster up.

Some videos of the costume changes and showoff:

Dimension Shift

Energy Morph

Rapid Boil

Showoff

Subjective feedback: With Female Monstrous legs the Growl emote twists the left leg into a a rather distorted shape. Somewhere between broken and horribly deformed. Didn't have time to see if Male and Huge Monstrous legs did the same before i logged off.

Subjective:

Dimension Shift: Don't get it? does a quick animation for me, but my alt stands for a minute then changes?

Rabid Boil: 1st thought was "Am I making my alt into a noodle or an egg?" (found change name funny) I like it, not sure where I can use it, but looks cool. Looking at it repeatedly, looks like my alts about to spawn more gremlins lol...

Energy Morph: NOT A MUTANT EMOTE. This is a Science/Technology type change. You can CLEARLY see it's a terminator type change, MUTANT has a more ORGANIC feel than this does.

To me, the Dimension/Energy are NOT MUTANT. Cool yes, I will type what a great job on them, but as a "Theme" no, no sir you are wrong, please read and study MUTANT comic books, before designing a "Theme" Booster Pack.


The Showoff emote is too fast, needs least 3-4 more seconds of showing, far too fast. It also reminds me of playing the custom editor to RAW vs. Smackdown on my Xbox 360, the emote looks almost like The Rock's taunts when I look at it.

The Growl is too low, I look like I want to sip a bowl of cream, but you gave me half n half so I threw my bowl away and that's why I am growling! and as placed out there before, the new wings just do not work with this emote, so a Chimera (spelling?) type charactor would simply not be able to use this.

TLDR: 1 Change out of 3 I like and deem MUTANT. 2 emote need work, and only 1 seems to "Theme" to MUTANT. Color me unimpressed, and READ MORE MUTANT COMICS plzkthxbi

Subjective: I suggest after the Energy Morph change a slower raising up. It would be more dramatic, not sure if people would like that, though. Just my own opinion.

Subjective. Rabid boil actually looks quite nice when combined with a body type change. For example going from normal size to a Monstrous sized body type.

Showoff, doesn't quite look like "showing off". It looks more like some kind of posturing you'd see on "Jersey Shore" or something. No quite sure advice to offer to fix it...but it needs help.

Objective:

I did growl with my angel-winged sphinx-girl and found to my dismay that her wings were down over her face.

Is showoff supposed to spread the wings? Because it didn't spread my angel wings.

Subjective:

Showoff really should spread the wings, if it's not meant to. Agree it should be slowed down.

On the Mutant != Furry front, my mutant energy blaster will be very happy with Energy Morph. My illusion/ controllers will have much fun with Dimensional Shift. Don't have anything for which boiling is appropriate but I can see the potential for those who like their heroes in the Toxic Avenger mold.

I put my bug for the Dimension Shift costume change emote in the Bugs thread but that was for costume pieces...but...didn't see a "Bug" thread for the costume change emotes....hope it's the right place for it!


But everything seems to be okay (except for Dimension Shift not working on Energizing Ion).

I would say the ;showoff emote needs to be slowed down a bit.

Edit: I just logged in another character and the Dimension Shift costume change worked fine....so now I'm curious why it didn't work on EI >_>

I'm liking /em growl alot (despite some winged wierdness).

I foresee using it not just as a beastly stance emote but also interchanging it with /em crouch as a stance emote for some of my more classic costumed rooftop vigilantes. To this end, if it's not too late, can we get an /em silentgrowl without the sound effect attached to it?

I tend to bind one or two of these not far from my movement keys near my flight emotes And with /em plotting, /em scheme, /em lecture, /em waiting, /em crouch and /em frustrated already have a growing makeshift suite of stance emotes to select from. Would love to throw the growl pose into this. Prolly will with or without the audio clip. But would LOVE it sans audio for some purposes.
