Regardless of how the auras look, I absolutely *love* how many options they have. I thank you for adding separate left and right arm auras (as well as making combat activated auras standard). If we could get more asymmetrical options... that would just be wonderful. ^_^
Can't you just give it to us for free? These packs are getting uber ridiculous.

I think you may have misunderstood the announcement. I am pretty sure they are Origin "Themed" costume items, not restricted. Still, I am not so sure I am willing to pay $10.00 for 15 costume items either.

Check your facts, they have already stated in the discussion thread that the capes and auras are not Origin restricted, just Origin themed.

If it keeps the game running in the face of increasing competition and a dated engine, it's a small price to pay.

Odd. This seems to be the discussion thread, and I don't see anyone saying that. What "facts" am I checking? *reads the thread again* Where does it say that?

Copied from the announcement page which was linked to from the very beginning by Avatea.
Tried Avatea's link like 5 times now. Seems to dislike Paypal for some reason. =/
Tried a Card and that worked like a charm =)
Some nice Chinese Dresses, please!

Are the Auras selectable straight away or after level 30 ?

Crazy quality on this pack.
Went on a rampage of costume editing. Finding a character one or more of these pieces *won't* improve is gonna be a challenge.
I doubt I'll ever run the aura mish again, and that alone justifies the price tag.

I can see myself using this.
I have spare income.
PURCHASE'D!
My primary focus ain't capes and auras - but meh... must have, now.
Done 
Three or so tries and it's still not working for me. :/
Yay birthday gift!
...BOO to being broke ATM =( Gonna hafta wait till after payday. I think only a few of my characters are gonna have any use for any of these, but more options always = bettar!
...Though i will reiterate that i'm a touch displeased with how skimpy these last two packs have been. Hopefully the next booster is a super-type =)
-STEELE =)
Allied to all sides so that no matter what, I'll come out on top!
Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
To those complaining about there being "only" 15 costume parts with this pack, take a look at these numbers.
Mutant pack: 15 parts (6 bioluminescent, 9 organic armor)
Magic: 21+ (21 female witch counting multiple versions of bolero and witch tobottom/gloves, couldn't check male/huge at the moment)
Mac (Valkyrie): 18 (male/female/huge are all the same I believe)
Tech: 15
Natural: 18 (mostly Warrior parts and variants of)
Don't have any of the other packs to check those. Also didn't count the GR sets.
15 isn't abnormal, on the low end but not like it hasn't been done before. Also many of these parts can be tough to mix and match with other sets, but with the Origins pack we're getting 15 pieces that can go with nearly anything. The only thing this pack is missing is a temp power but I for one will forgive that because of the sheer number of combinations that these parts will be useful on, unlike a temp power that seems virtually useless...Shadowy Presence.

Happy Fashion day!

Want!
(I can't get it at the moment because we're poor, but I will get it when I can)
Finally got through to it, via the expediency of unchecking the "on file" box where the store checkout required me to enter my card info. For those of you who are having problems and have recently switched cards, this may be useful advice. I will, however, maintain until they shovel the last lump of dirt onto my casket that it's a hosed-up way to run a railroad.

I said that this was a pack that I'd buy.
And so I did.
GJ on this one. Maybe next time we can get some temp powers?
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
I rushed off to try that in such giddy haste that had it actually worked for me, I would have sang your praises in the halls of my ancestors. I did not, however.

Not that I'd mind new temp powers, I can't for the life of me think of any that could be reasonably done that wouldn't also imbalance the game.

Bought it early this afternoon. Well done...now I can finally use some of the hundreds of free tailor sessions I have over most of my toons.
