"Possible" beast pack that is being "looked into". Part of the problem with the mutant pack was people taking off-hand comments as "promises".

bAss_ackwards should watch the wording: The wolf tail is from the beasts pack coming later.. |
Dec out.
Casual discussion elevated to promises is one of the most evil things out there.

You take a small amount of damage once. Although doing a few things can trigger it again.

You're right (could have sworn it triggered on me more than once during a mission)... but it still doesn't change my statement that I would probably not add a power that could cause me to lose access to my powers temporarily to my tray much like how I always remove Self Destruct when I make a new character (and I don't understand why Self Destruct would ever auto-add to a new character; that should be set to manual add to power tray, to be honest).|

Having seen multiple mentions of Secondary Mutation here and there as being possibly problematic, I finally went out and actually looked up what Secondary Mutation has the possibility to do. [I buy these packs for the costume stuff, not the powers or emotes and so was blissfully unaware till now]. |

I am another one who immediately pulls Self Destruct out of my trays upon rolling up a new character. I have... NO desire to blow myself up; that's just me.
I have even less of a desire to become a Rikti Monkey, even for 1 minute. I know someone on the development team thinks this sort of thing is cute and funny, and I am sure many agree. But I'd just as soon not.
[Kinda like how I stopped using Alakazamreact when it stopped turning you into a pumpkin and started turning you into a lamp, a desk or a refrigerator.... being a pumpkin was funny, but being a lamp is just stupid. Wouldn't go as far as to call the Rikti Monkey "stupid" but I don't find the idea fun at all. Especially if my powers are gone at the time.]

Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Well, with all the negative comments, let me chime in as someone who loves the chance of turning into a Rikti monkey. The only weakness I see is the fact that you don't get the monkey attacks when you lose your own - if they did that, you could double the price and I'd still consider it a bargain. That would change it from being a novelty to being fun.

I haven't seen the actual numbers on the mutation buffs, but I'm assuming they are nothing big. So it seems strange to use a power that could give you a very small buff, or an instant death sentence. Am I wrong? Are the buffs much better than I assume?
Quote:
The buffs are nothing particularly remarkable. However, they last for 20 full minutes, while the Monkey lasts for 1 and then immediately recharges the power. If you use it sensibly, it's not a death sentence - at worst it's one minute of standing around looking like a monkey. Take some silly screenshots, manage your inventory, chat with your teammates, and recast in 60 seconds.

good buff = 20 minutes
bad buff = 1 minute
It's not something you use in the middle of combat and have to keep up all the time. If it's not up, hit it at the end of a mission when people take a break to sell and it will be up through the next mission or 2. If you get the 1% monkey, then everyone laughs at and taunts as you hop around before the next mission.
If you die because of this power, there is no one to blame but yourself.
so howmany good and how many bad buffs are there?
also has any list been postd latelly
also any chance of a cancel buff option? like when you get this buff thing or when you get random power happy passing ninja buffed and you didnt' want it or need it?
yes I talk abot htem crazy empaths or fire or ice casters that just feel everyone wants to see you incase them in ice or set them aflame or make their heads glow purple
I still want a "Prompt to buff" option liek the "Prompt to teleport" thing now
Yeah, didn't know about the 60 second duration. I suppose I can deal with that risk. Sounds like a cool little self buff power. If it doesn't have an annoying aura, I'm sold.

I'm hopeful for it coming in the long run though. After all, we once thought the same thing about power customization and market merging...

Well those numbers look pretty damn good to me. I'll be using this power 100% of the time. Twiddling my thumbs as a monkey for 60 seconds now and then is not a big deal. Thanks for posting the Paragonwiki page with list and numbers. I'll be buying this on the 24th....if I don't win a code for free today!

I say "dealbreaker," but I would still buy the pack if only to get my little grubbies on the WINGS. There are other things I want in there as well.... but please make Bioluminescent at least 90% more useful than it will be for a lot of people right now: please make a Tights option. |
Just like none of the baron stuff is available for females, no cigars or tattoos for females, etc...
I really wish the devs would stop the costume segregation and start some costume proliferation.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
On Monday, I turned into a Rikti Monkey while running this mission.
Fortunately, this still worked....

Too bad attacks don't work in that form.

You guys realize Djeannie bumped a 7 month or so old post right?

The wolf tail is from the beasts pack coming later. People wanted beast costume pieces in this mutation pack, so the wolf tail which was already done was put into it as a result of popular demand. The wolf tail cannot be free unless you can convince the developers that whatever was to be in the beasts pack is to be entirely free.
However, there is the fact that not all of the beasts costume pieces are going to be a part of the booster packs. We've also have some of the beast costume pieces which were also "free" for quite a long time.
Either way, there is justification for keeping it paid or making it free. Personally, it matters not to me. With each pack (wedding, valkyrie, and etc. included) the developers have always given me more of what I want. You can obviously see so by my pictures posted from this pack (and previous ones) that I get a lot out of them for my own characters.
