Good News From Paragon Studios

Here's a picture from the announcement of the special 7 year reward emotes - but I think the most interesting part, apart from the awesome alignment emotes, are the dragon feet in the 3rd picture, and the leopard head and skin pattern in the 4th picture:

Think the feet may just be due to scalers (*groan*, I know ) but yeah, saw the Cheetah head.
David is Win. That is all.

So anaimal booster wise, so far we've got an eagle head, a big cat head, possible lizard feet, and a leopard skin texture.

And with just texture changes, that big cat head could be made into a lioness, a jaguar or a tiger - and there might be a lion mane as a hair option too.

It's interesting to note that the animal heads shown thus far are wholly animal and not of the sort of human/animal blending that is often seen in illustrated and 3D animal/human characters these days (i.e., such as the rabbit shown below, with human hair and anime style eyes on top of an otherwise wholly animal head).

So if this is representative of the Pack, it would basically be animal heads, animalistic paws, feet and tails to be attached to the normal human body types.

It's perhaps the only way Sexy Jay could bring himself to make them

I think they'll still be weeping at the thought of any animal parts being added to the game

*crickets* Hmm... I think I killed the thread with that one. Sowwy.

the costume is okay, it's just the suede cowboy boots don't go with the rest of the outfit.

I think a pair of open toe sandals could really help to kick that outfit from meh to WOW!

I'm sure we'd love to see dozens of Kangaroo characters hopping around Atlas.

Poor Mod5, he has so many posts to delete in this thread.

If he is a he. I suspect Mod5 is just Aveata's covertsupercodename.

This is actually interesting and relevant, although be aware that I am cross-posting his comment here.

You should follow the link there to Noble Savage's post thread if you want to provide feedback on this topic, as I do not think he is going to ever see or read this one.

IF we decide to do a Super Booster: Beasts set in the future, is that something the average COH fan really wants? With every Super Booster, the general aim is to expand the limits of the costume library while enabling as many new character concepts as possible. Animal heads and legs are a niche sub-category that, for whatever reason, seems to get a lot of attention in these parts. Our top goal is to give players what they want. We're open-minded, eager to please, and not opposed to anything, but let me play devil's advocate here and tell you why there might be some resistance to a hypothetical Animal Pack: A) There are already animal parts in the game. Given the LONG list of player requests, why build 'Werewolf Head #2' when we could make, say, a tech-themed fixed-wing, something that doesn't exist in the game currently? B) Animal parts don't appear to have mass appeal. COH is a living, breathing comic book universe, and our ongoing goal is to reflect the diversity of all the comic titles out there. But take a quick look at any comic book store and you'll be hard-pressed to find a single issue featuring an anthropomorphic character on the cover or otherwise. They're simply not that popular. So why build lizard parts or giraffe parts when it seems like VERY few people would be interested in them? C) Resources are limited. Everything we make comes at the cost of something else. If relatively few people would use animal parts, why should they be the top priority over some other theme? Let me restate that I'm playing devil's advocate here. I wouldn't mind having a few more animal parts personally, but selling the team on a whole pack devoted to this theme is another matter entirely, especially with several other strong ideas on the table. If this is something you guys really want, please take this opportunity to make your case.

There was a general refutation of Number B and the upcoming animal pack is the result. I'm convinced they whipped up the wolf tail and tossed it into the Mutant Pack because of that outcry (and my super-awesome posts of all the different animals who have that exact tail). Lots of people said they weren't going to buy the Mutant Pack until that tail was added, a pretty convincing argument in favor of.

I'm just hoping the animal pack also has the tail, because I want it but have zero interest in anything else in the Mutant Pack.

The Forum Posting Rules are really not that onerous.

I just think it would benefit us all to read them now and again, to refresh ourselves.

I find it better to post whatever and let Johnny 5 come along and sort it out afterwards.

*gasp* Oh, Carnifax! How could you?

Such blatant disregard for the rules smacks of sheer Villainy!

(Or perhaps at least Rougishness!)

Hi War Witch! Welcome to the tail end of this happy thread!

It's wended a long and curious road to reach here!

It could be "Working With, For, and Against Differences".
