I've never understood why Furries=Evil/Sin in many peoples eyes. If it's what they want to practice, why impede them. Didn't the world unite against a group that was trying to destroy people for what they practiced and believed? :P I recall reading that somewhere :P However, a horse is something I doubt we could do, the closest to a horse person I ever saw was the Bothans in SWG :P Peace, -C.A. |
A very nice surprise indeed. The thing I love about CoX devs is that they do listen to the players. Bravo!

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. . |

In fact, how about THIS WEEK. Jay built a snazzy new animated tail, and though we were originally planning to release it later as part of a different set, the schedules been moved up, and youll now have access to it as a bonus in the soon-to-be-released Mutant Pack. Heres a pic, and (barring any technical glitches) you can start playing with the new tail on the Training Room on Friday, along with the other tails and weapon that missed the last build. Cheers, David  |
I wonder what the chances are of us ever seeing the Monstrous shoulder piece that existed in CoV's beta once again...
Very cool looking tail though. Kudos David, Jay and art crew.

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. |
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

I'm a little shocked that very few (if any, I'll admit I skimmed the thread) are wondering why this was added to the booster pack and not just to the game in general.
I'd love to know exactly why if I want to make a feline character or a reptilian character, the tail is there, free and ready to go. But if I want that werewolf? I have to pony up $10, apparently.
The tail looks good, don't get me wrong, I just don't see why such a generic and wide-spanning costume piece needs to be very arbitrarily pay-locked, outside of a desperate bid to win over the crowd disappointed by the initial pieces we've seen. This is exactly the kind of inconsistency that would drive me away as a new player, as I wondered why my character concept had a price tag attached to it.
