Thanks David and Sexy Jay!

Looks like a single tail was the difference between failure and OMGWANT for some players around here. The funny thing is, while I was going to buy the Mutant pack anyway, this new tail isn't something I'd actually use for any of my character concepts at the moment, maybe I'd find a use for it in the future.
But I have noticed from the screen-shot that the fur on the tail is perceptibly higher in resolution than the old monstrous fur texture too.
All the same, it's fantastic that David and Jay have taken the time to try to smooth things over and add some highly vocally requested content to the players. Whatever additions and improvements they make with this pack will be very welcome.

Or to sweaten the pot because the alien skins weren't "mutant" enough for alot of people?
Personally i dig the mutant skins added and the wolf tail will be nice to added to my one lonely man/dog hybrid i have built, but i have to wonder... shouldn't something like a wolf/dog tail be free... like all the other specis tails already in the game? It just seems... odd that there are free cat..lizard.. and demon tails but no dogs...you at least at some point need to release a free version... IMO of course.

I just wanted to say that this quote reflects the attitude that keeps me happy to pay for this game after almost five years, even though I don't use tails and the addition of this tail doesn't affect whether my accounts will be getting this pack one bit (they will).

This would be the single greatest addition to the game if you would allow Golden Girl to attach that animated tail to her head. POOF...animated hair!!
*I tried to put a winky thing at the end of that but the internet told me they were all taken...

Shhh! Rangle is plotting.
ATTABOY! Now this is the kind of thing that gets you fruit baskets and passes to sporting events, fellas. Mad props to Jay for all the good work, and you David for being such a great conduit. I look forward to purchasing this pack and anything else you decide to throw our way.
Haha, they threw us a bone.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
great olive branch to the people asking for animal parts... Thanks JLove and David Nakayama
Seems that Jay did some fine work despite his hatred for furries (Or so I've heard) either way it's right in line with what Jay and the entire art department consistantly delivers: What the players want!
Good job guys!

Thank you! Good work.
Any chance you could just add it alongside the booster, and not part of it. It doesn't really fit the theme anyways. I am going to buy the booster regardless, but it may not be some people's style (whereas the tail might be)!

Same here! Were Wolves and Wolf Men were never really my thing. Doesn't mean I wasn't looking forward to animal parts, maybe spark some nifty ideas.

Which is kind of sad, considering how the pack matched up to people's requests. Mind you, the costumes it contains are pretty sweet--they're just not what people asked for. This isn't the core game you're talking about, this is a paid perk you want to SELL to people. And it has been consistently advertised as being the answer to all the animal costume requests.|

It should have been what people asked for, and were told, that they were getting...or people should have been told otherwise. The reason why there was the disconnect wasn't entirely because of the content, it was because of what they were told what the content be in advance, when it wasn't.
I don't care about this stuff, so I don't even have a dog in this fight...I'm just saying from the point of view of someone who doesn't care about the dog tail either way.
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.

Oh, and a hearty "IN BEFORE 'ONLY TAKES JAY A DAY OR TWO TO MAKE A NEW TAIL." Should've kept that part mum.

<scratches head> wolf/fox tails?..ill go back and look...saw quite a bit of talk about new realistic animal heads however seeing as the set originally had zero animal options im a little confused...must have been the naming of the set that was the issue with some peeps mutant vs mutated.|

Thanx Jay and David, you guys rawk!!! Now back to werk, I need at least 10 more textures STAT!

I'm looking forward to any animation stuff you guys come up with. Also waiting for more animal parts (one of the last unexplored frontiers in my collection of toons). And one thing I want is more casual/formal wear like earrings, necklaces, some nice shoes.|

Jay did all the heavy lifting here, so let's give credit where credit's due. We're definitely taking stock of fan requests and trying to put as much of it as possible into the pipeline. On a completely unrelated note, wait 'til you see what's cookin' in animation... |
Also, hi!
Tell us more! We like vocal devs.

Two thumbs up!
Now my vampire will be another step closer to having a proper wolf form. Superb!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you someday are able to give us a beast run animation, although ninja run has worked surprising well in that at least you're hunched over. But much as I love ninja run, I hate seeing that hunched idol stance at every trainer, auction and store. A new run or two, including a really hunched beast run, would definitely break up that a bit, I think.
Speaking of, have we ever found out what those new stances in the GR Collector's edition are? They still haven't been explained yet, AFAIK. I'm curious if it's something like this, or more along the lines of emotes, or something else entirely.

May have something to do with the "stance emotes" that have been mentioned, four of which will be in the collector's edition of Going Rogue.|

I'm guessing they'll be like the stances in Champions Online that change how your character moves/idles. In CO they had a Beastial moving on all fours animation, an Average run/walk, a Heroic jog/walk, etc.
We've already got something like it with Ninja Run. This would be expanding on it with different themes.
Looking at the /em growl emote from the Mutant booster, they've been experimenting with characters going on all fours. I wouldn't be surprised if Animal Run wasn't on the way. IIRC, a while back didn't they post a job listing looking for people with experience animating non-human characters.

David (and Jay) generally work with costumes. While it's possible that they're in touch with what's going over in BABs country, if David is teasing us about animation it's probably about costumes.|

He may be talking about new animations for powers, but if I was to guess I would say things like more tails, wings, maybe some other animated pieces, maybe even hair. 100% baseless speculation though.

Sweet!
Just curious, was it the "fluffy" aspect of the wolf tail that prevented it from being released until now-ish?
Paging...um...everyone who has ever requested a wolf/fox/dog tail!
My werewolves will be happy.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
