Speculation and Hopes for the Animal Booster

I just want to be able to use the snake lower body (big tail rather than 2 legs).
THAT would net them pack price, a couple of months of play,and several renewal recomendations to fellow lapsed players - all by using assets in the game already.
The problem with that is that...while yes the asset is within the game...it required a truly massive amount of work.
Alright so you've got the classic Medusa look thing going on. Now how are you going to use Martial Arts with that...how does it look when you Fly/Hover...how does it look when you use Eviscerate...
Basically they would need to tweak an untold number of animations in order to actually get the snake lower half to work.
I like the bug that was on test when they were testing the prestige powerslide power to be live. It made you do the powerslide animation while flying.

Ooooh, yes! As I stated in an earlier post, on the right toons, the beast run actually looks really intimidating. Imagine the War Wolves and DE with these in place of their current movement powers! I'd never leave Striga! LOL.

The DE use a certain type of skeleton, faik, either huge or monster which is an NPC only rig. Giving them alternate movement might be possible, though, and would look rather cool.|

I'd rather they upgrade the damn mutts they have in the Council and 5th Column; damn those things look ugly, and not in a Hydra 'purposefully creepy and ugly' way. More a low poly, badly made kind of ugly. Give them the new heads and tails at least. Or the old 'monstrous' wolf heads, if nothing else, make them look a bit less derptastic.

Personally, I feel the more pressing matter is actually including all types Devouring Earth monsters at all level ranges they spawn in. The 45-50 range only has Granites, so no tree men, no mushroom men and no crystals. That's just bad design, and it stems from six-year-old content that simply didn't feature them in any capacity at that level range.|

Beyond that, I'd really prefer the Praetorian Earth Devouring Earth to get their own distinct look. Not necessarily different powers or all different monsters, but just something to show that they aren't ours. Specifically, because all current "Praetorian" outdoor missions take place on Paragon City maps, including that stupid river map where you can see Nerva Archipelago in the distance.

They have already done that. Much to the dismay of my Def tanker, the level 50 DE now have quartz dropping Guardians (and the rest, but I don't care about them), making them one of the few groups I can't solo on X8.

I really should do something about this signature.

This has stuck in my brain in terms of what other direct clones (power spec wise) would work or might be missing.|

The only one I can come up with is [bionic run]. Think how the liquid metal terminator in T2 and the female terminator in T3 both sprint, with their knife hands and knees riding high. The idle could be a sort of twitchy alert head cocking. And jumping more of a long hurdle/slow running through the air like someone out of the matrix.
Just a thought.
I'm hoping for either a [Bunny Hop] or [Chicken Run] in the near future.
As happy as I am with getting these powers, It's only because they're the only way we can get them. Ideally a pool power would have been made with a Version of Ninja run that didn't change the animations as the "proper" movement power and just been released as a normal part of the game. Anybody who wanted the conceptual benefits of the power get it. Then Ninja/ Beast and whatever else runs would be released via booster and function as Prestige sprints, I just hope they don't stop trying to come up with useful bonus powers for boosters in lieu of more ninja run clones.
Anyone Who wants to argue about my usual foolishness can find me here.

Also:
To all of you out there of the furry persuasion, do whatever you want; just don't involve me in it. And please do not assume that just because my one character is a were-wolverine that I wish to discuss matters pertaining to his sexual activities. I do not. I just think wolverines are pretty bad-***.

Why assume that someone with an anamorphic toon is a pervert?

This is what always baffles me. Just because I'm a pervert doesn't mean anyone who makes anthropomorphic characters is.

It's always a bad idea to link animal characters with sex out of context.

You did just say that, right Sam? I guess you can be on my 'To watch' list.
Anyway, I'd probably reword the statement to:
"Just because I'm a pervert doesn't mean I'll makes anthropomorphic characters."
If a pervert is a pervert, you'll probably know. And it won't be furry ears and a tail that tells. Do the guys that pump up the breast slider and put their females in bikinis or go hitting on any females in-game get a pass while me playing a bird demon should be burned at the stake? Lol, well maybe I should be burned at the stake since I'm probably a pervert too @_@

Nah, bird-demons are burned on a spit, not a stake. Preferrably atop a charcoal fire... a little tabasco mixed in with the barbecue sauce... cooked till the edges are slightly blackened...

That, and too many people who think making their character a snow leopard half-angel makes it interesting.
Yes, please, forum software. Please remember me. I would really like that.

Speaking of the beast run, I sincerely hope we get some measure of power customization for our run animation independent of Booster Packs and Tempermanent powers that add not just run animations but stat boosts, as well. There's room for it.
