soon! <.<
Supposed to be on sale tomorrow. The art was put into the game last week though they might have tweaked it with today's patch. I won a pack on Friday and could use it from that point on. Early birthday present. Score!

Marketing said the 3rd after I was demanding the 2nd for my Birthday (jokingly). It's in the original discussion thread a few pages in.

My guess is that the code is ready today and they -might- have normally been ready to sell it today but they probably wanted to give themselves one more day to make sure their billing server/applications are ready. There have been problems in the past on other "launch days" for Booster Packs where there have been multi-hour delays. They probably just want to try to make sure there will be no reason to whine about it tomorrow.

I agree, this cape should be non-metallic imho, or at least have the option.

The code has been ready since at least last Friday, since I know myself and several others on Freedom have access to it from Twitter and costume contest codes.

I've had my pack since I won the Halloween event.
That night with a burst of inspiration I had an idea. Being very heavy into AE mission creation I thought why not do something with this. Also I spent like 1 million inf at the Tailor before I had the idea.
Anyway I made an ARC in AE showing all the new capes and auras. If you want to see the pack in person it's as close as your AE building. ARC#461733 or search for @Jinkobi. Already on page 4 so not hard to find
Developers if you're out there. I encourage you to read the comments posted about the thing I made. People love it! More than one person said 'I'm buying the pack after seeing this." You have the power to read the comments and I think you'll be surprised.
Shoot I'd make one for every pack if I were given the Arc slots. Own most of them anyway.
My dream would be for the Devs to take this idea- integrate it into the tailor. Like you could select a pack and see it on your character before you buy. Or even a large room attached to Icon/Facemaker with doors leading to different packs displayed on models.
Love the pack. The hair clipping through the capes and some other costume pieces is a bit upsetting. But I still love it and would have bought it.

If you guys want to get super-picky about it the software updates for this have probably been ready and in the live build for WEEKS now because the Devs usually work that far in advance for the Booster Packs. Just because I said it was ready as of yesterday does not mean it could not have been ready earlier as well.

My bad. I realized that I hadn't read the part in your post about previous booster being delayed. I was unaware of that, as I usually haven't been around enough to care or notice that there was such a delay.|

Honestly though, I'd have to think they could at least be testing these kind of things with the web team and the department that created the system (Which is Korean, if I had to guess from previous chats with developers) for generating codes weeks in advanced, and learned from previous mistakes.
anyone notice the new auras are not available if you are wearing Crab armor? As soon as I switch to a costume slot without the VEAT standard armor the auras are avilable again.
I am also unable to use them on my Nightwidow. I bugged it already, hopefully it doesnt take forever for a fix. Sadly anything VEAT related usually takes months to get looked at.

I mentioned the same thing earlier. I'm just assuming it is WAI, like our "extra" costume slot and such.

I agree. We can use the other ones we should be able to use these ones, and if not we should have been made aware of that before the purchase.
