I am TIRED of my panther-anthro looking like a mutant squash-faced persian with 3rd degree burns... I am also tired of my minotaur character (whose snout is the raider gas-mask) looking like a severe asthmatic with a coat-rack shoved through his head.
Yeah, you could say I'm looking forward to this pack.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Hehe, I bought the back just before it went down, and created Cyber-Panther, Katana-WP stalker on Infinity 
And oh, the beasty run is awesomesauce.

My only problem with it (at least until today) was that I actually want to pay for this new pack. I want to give our Devs money to show my appreciation and support for adding cool new optional things to this game.
Funny thing is that I almost had to go out of my way -not- to get one of the free codes they've been handing out since last Friday. It's cool they are willing to toss out free codes to promote the new pack, but it's been weird for me to have to wait LONGER to get it just because I want to PAY for it. Somehow that seems totally backwards to me.

So all the Aion players cannot manage their accounts or purchase things? People can't buy the Going Rogue expansion from the site now, or set up an account?
That's unbelievable!
It also seems to be true, going on the last few packs. Make of that what you will.

I mean seriously?
The NCsite has always been a big steaming pile of fail, and it sounds like the updater we're going to get hoisted onto us ain't going to be much better.
We shall see.

). They really couldn't put a time release on the codes, because honestly the effort to do such isn't worth it.
The wait is killing! Though cliche I've wanted to make a proper werewolf since I bought the game four years ago. I just couldn't stand the head options. So 60 new costume pieces. Any animal types they haven't shown?

The 60 pieces is just what it means...pieces. It counts each of the 4 horn options (example) as a seperate piece. Each new tail, seperate piece. Each nose-ring option for the minotaurs...seperate piece. And so on.|

Basically seen it all.
Oh, and to the people calling others a liar in this thread, why would they lie about getting the pack? The store *was* up this morning with the animal pack ready for purchase. I wasn't able to buy it though. My husband is still asleep and I wasn't about to just take his debit card and go to town with it. =P

I have to agree. Why make those of us who have no problem PAYING for the pack wait? Why not make the pack available, then have contests and giveaways the same day or for the next couple of days? Then the NCSoft shop goes down. Grrrrrr (channeling new animal character that wants to be built, watch out...)

The vast majority of what's in the trailer seems to be previously usable costume pieces. Like the eagle for example which has only a new head and feet. The rest comes from the Valkyrie pack, clockwork bits etc. I think even some of the animal patterns can be used already as well. Even monstrous hands. That leaves heads, tails, and feet. I guess we'll just have to see.

Every free code they give away, regardless of when they give it away, already pretty much guarantees one less SALE of a paid-for code. How many dozens (or even hundreds?) of people had a free legitimate code installed before today? |

I understand the whole idea of giving away some of your new product away for free as a form of advertisement. Nothing wrong with that. I just find it funny that because I actually want to give them money I had to wait longer than people who will NOT likely be giving the company any extra money for their efforts. It's almost like being PUNISHED for wanting to be a more loyal customer than someone else.

??? I didn't see it at all, and in the last few items they have had to shut down the entire store to update items. Seems idiotic that they would go into maintenance only a few minutes after a PREMIER release of a new item. Ether they would have released the item yesterday, or delayed the maintenance to another time if it was at all possible. Delays like this could cut into sales massively! So it is more likely that the maintenance is the addition of the new item to the store, so any purchases before said maintenance would be impossible...

The entire pack has been on test for a couple of weeks at least. There are 4 types of horns for bulls, so that is 4 pieces. There is a new minotaur tail. You can have saberteeth, long or short - 2 more pieces. 2 different nose rings for bulls... 3 different beaks for the eagle head so that's 3 more pieces. Its basically a lot of little fiddly bits and a few patterns aside from the heads/feet that we've already seen.

As of now the NCsoft sort is down of maintenance. I assume that when it gets back we will have the new Animal Pack available!
So if you hear anything, or saw anything new, feel free to post it here.
