Just bought it, Had a bit of a snag where it didn't process on my credit card and told me to try tomorrow but I switched to paypal and it went through fine.

just bought mine, no problems at all

The pack is now avalaible at the store!
For the lucky ones that can buy it, not me at the moment

*yoink* got one of mine... grab the other next week maybe.

Ah, got it now. ^_^

I has it, and let me say, the new auras are pretty slick.

I dislike you all.

At least for the next few hours until I can get home and play with them.

Edit : Just tried to buy it and got

"We're sorry, but we are unable to accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to visit one of our retail partners."



Do NCSoft dislike money or something?

Darn it. This pack was completely off of my radar till I saw it this morning on the front page. Then I just had to go look at the shiney videos and see two auras that would be absolutely perfect for two of my long established characters. Not to mention ideas spawned by the others. They must've been data mining my characters.

Dang it. Pack purchased. And I'm gonna like it. Grrrr *shakes fist at clever Paragon Studios and their cleverly targeted pack*

Previously I used the Omega aura for Succubus Kali, but Bio Plasma fits even better! Wewt!

I managed to get my pack today, but won't have a chance to play with it until tomorrow!
I love the fact that all of these are not level restricted, so your character can look complete right from level 1. (unless you really want vanguard or roman parts)
Of course, I will still run cape and aura missions, just for more options on each character

I know some people ask what about the story or thematic reasons for the mission- what about statesman's edict that nobody wear capes in honour of Hero1? My feeling is that it's been years since Hero1's sacrifice, and a lot of the newer heroes entering Paragon might not know, or might not care. Like any tragedy, the impact wears off over time, having less import to those who may not have been there when it happened. And you would also have heroes who would pretty much tell Statesman to get stuffed- especially if their cape was a protective device, as some of these origin capes imply- the science and tech ones look like they were designed to be protective, not just some frippery or fashion statement. Likewise, the magic one could be enchanted with protective wards, or the mutant variety could be a part of the character's body and therefore not coming off anytime soon.

To someone whose cape is a vital part of their armour, being asked to refrain from wearing it out of respect would be like asking any other hero to forego their breastplates, flak jackets, or any other piece of armour.
