Discussion: The Intrepid Informer: A Paragon Periodical

Great stuff. More communication the merrier!

Please do keep it up, and dare I say I like frequent structured communication better than the odd redname posting cryptic remarks now and then (though that is fun too, from time to time.)

Reptile, lizard, dinosaur, scales, dragon, shark and aquatic would be sweet concepts to add in another pack down the road, whatever it gets called in the end.

And I really like the inclusion of all the goodies - costume change emotes, auras, a power, etc. into the Animal Pack to make it even more attractive.

Getting an insight into the story behind this one was surprisingly intriguing. I generally avoid famous people personals like "What is your favourite movie?" or "Where do you keep your refried beans?" but this one seemed fairly personal and yet legitimately interesting. And I don't even say that because I want the pack. The process is just that exciting to me

That said, the pack looks aces. Best one in quite a while, I dare say. So, when can we have that?

My only gripe with the pack would be that there are far more species of canine than feline and would've liked to see something more than just wolf. This springs to mind.

I may or may not have an idea for a Dober-Man guard dog Hero for hire. Looking forward for future packs, I know this one's already got my money.

I'm really looking forward to buying this pack as I have several animal themed characters but had to improvise with the limited selections for heads and feet. It's great that the avian heads will have multiple beaks and not just only eagle available. My duck hero will love this!

Awesome looking pack. Even though I can't think of a use for it right now, I'll buy it anyway just to encourage you guys to maintain the same level of quality once you get to the Steampunk and Sci-fi packs.

Also, this letter is great. I love this kind of communication with the playerbase, and truly hope this will be kept a regular thing for years.

I was sad when things like 'ask a dev' and the lore thread all faded out after several weeks/months.

If the next animal pack includes antlers -- with but especially without deer heads -- I will be very happy. I've been wanting to put antlered NPCs in my AE missions for ages now.

I'll throw in a request for rodents, more dogs, and antlers. I'm in a Villain Group that's a "Rat Pack", and we need better rat heads. I've also been looking to build a superheroic Golden Retriever, and an anthropomorphic moose.

This pack has some good things, but like some have said... there are things that were missed. Seems like there's an over-attention paid to felines instead of canines. Lack of cold blooded lizard types is apparent, and the lack of natural claws for the claw powerset seems like a huge oversight to me.

Still though, glad that there's a periodical showing what goes on behind the scenes.

No idea. But on a totally unrelated note, are you related to tuna by chance?
*eyes The_Fish critically*

They might add bear parts if we get an arctic zone set in Canada.

Here come the Teenage Mutant Kung Fu Hamsters...*sigh*. I do like the birds of prey stuff, so I will probably get this pack..
