So thoughts on alpha slots and the future
All of my toons will be getting a furry costume slot.
In terms of bang for the buck, this is one of the best packs we've seen:
60 new pieces
6 new emotes
2 new auras
1 new travel power
What a value!
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
Great value, apart from it all being furrrrrry. :-P
@JohnP - Victory
I'm going to work towards the Musculature Core Paragon on the namesake but after that I'm not sure what I'll do. Been playing with the idea of building a rare Cardiac Core Paragon but I'm wondering what it will take to build the next incarnate slots.Wonder if we'll see a new kind of incarnate salvage introduced for every slot. Guess I'll just stockpile stuff and wait and see.
It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Due to restraints on my time I'm often unable to do any TFs. I'm very unhappy about this looking like it's the only way to get my 50's on par with everyone else's. The upside is that everyone will be doing those TF's so hopefully when I do get a little time to play, I'll be able to run those TF's. I'm still unhappy though, the majority of the shards that I get with my 50s is when doing solo or just normal 50 missions.

It does seem like a decent pack if you like the animal theme. I don't really have any characters like that, though, so I'm out of luck on this one. Probably for the best though, as otherwise I'm sure I'd be grousing about why unique things to the game like a different run mode, so many costume pieces, etc., are not being added to the game without an issue.
As usual... I'm hoping we keep seeing good costume additions with each issue, or these packs will start to really rub me the wrong way.

You can't really call it "furry hate" coming from Shamster. He has *multiple* blatantly cat-themed characters that weren't created for the sake of irony.
He's just not a dog person.
I've already forgotten about most of you
Then why the Furry hate?
For the record I have one character that I might, might be tempted to use this on. Little kids like giant anthropomorphic creatures why can't you? |

In issue 20, you will be able to craft all abilities from the Incarnate trees that are available via Incarnate Trials using Incarnate Shards and some INF. It will take longer than it will take getting components via the trials, but you will be able collect the shards as you play everything(!) else in the game to offset that. If you mix in the occasional Incarnate Trial you will make more progress.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Excellent call on the dev's part. Endgame and more content for CoH, yes. Making this game like WoW, not so much.

animal pack is on test now apparently
some of the stuff is sounding pretty neat so far, ill be likely to get this one since it has costume options even though i havent been a fan of animal poeple
My first thought on the animal booster is that it is really cool.
But then...I don't think I will ever use it. I like how City is full of humans. Contemporary super beings in a modern setting. I have exactly ONE character with WINGS on it. I get more use out of the party pack, to be honest. (And I love it when people scoff at how I actually spent my money on something they don't like.)

Well, all characters now have one notice on the well. Four out of twenty-eight level 50's remaining to level shift. Hopefully will have all shifted by end of Saturday.
Anyone do an Apex or Tin Mage with a heavily level shifted team? Notice a major difference?

i ran an apex and tin mage on my lvl shifted stone brute, actually about 3/4 of the team were lvl shifted and we blasted both tfs apart, 30 min apex followed by 45 min tin mage
and we didnt really skip anything either
Was the level shift noticeable, when you're still fighting +3's?

the most obvious difference was that minions were conning red instead of everything being purple
I found it to be a major difference; However, I am a dom, so that comes with its own unique issues. Level-shifted, a double static field puts everything to sleep; confuse actually lasts long enough to cause some serious havoc as well. On +4s, confuse wore off in about 5 seconds or something useless.
