The Animal Pack Wait

Crud, as soon as I click the buy button the site maintenance page pops up. Sometimes I think someone at the NCSoft store does this on purpose.

Hey all,

I know many of you are avidly mashing F5 right now waiting for the store to come back up (that's the button what makes your Google machine reload itself). As an FYI, this morning's PlayNC maintenance was actually just maintenance to implement some back end "stuff". The fact that it coincided with Animal Pack Day (I'm thinking national holiday here...) was simply coincidental.

We'll be putting up and official announcement later today and also be starting a thread for everyone to show off their new animal-istic costume creations!

Thanks everyone!

Finally got through. But, seriously, this shouldn't happen. Whoever programmed the store site should be kicked for doing such a bad job and never ever bothering to fix it so that this didn't happen every damn time something released. They KNOW that there will be a rush for things, so why not PLAN for that?

I know there are always a few people like you who get in and get these codes pretty early in the day. But I learned years ago that it's usually far easier to wait 6-12 hours after the "initial" release before I'll even try to buy it. In every case that I waited a few hours I have NEVER had any trouble buying the item in question.

People just have to have some patience.

Anyone else having to verify all files after purchasing it? Says there's an animation file problem before you can even log in and then it shuts down the game. nothing wrong when I played it earlier.

Because waiting 5 days longer than you should have to while the Pack is ready is perfectly reasonable...

Oh, wait.

Well I already resigned myself to having to wait 5 extra days because I wanted to pay for it. But since I'm currently at work, and can't actually play the game for like another 6+ hours anyway, the fact that I'm "willing" to wait a little longer for the account/store servers to clear suits me fairly nicely.

No, I would have loved that, but being in europe, I'm always late to the party for that.
I really had to buy it.

Weeeell, feel a lil ripped off so far. The heads are amazing. So much so that the classic monstrous fur you get stuck will looks like crap with em. Guess I'll see what the in-game stuff looks like.

After taking a look at the preview at the online store, the pieces sound cool and all. And looks like there's a lot of them too. So that's awesome. Whoever is responsible, thank you. Great job.

But.

No hand talon option for Claws yet?! All these new beast people will STILL have to use Wolverine claws?! (Or Super Strength. You know what I'm getting at.)

*sigh*


Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.

good luck D.B.B.

I was excited about giving my Hepcat a real cat head, but I decided to check it out on the test server before buying it:



What's the point of having a cat if he can't wear a stylin' suit?



...I forgot what experience means.

Just bought the pack.. loving it so far..

For the most part.

Love the heads, no problems there except for some minor problems caused by such thick necks clipping with shoulder items... I can live with that..

My main complaint is that while they DO have an "Animal Fur" option for chest they don't have the same option for Gloves (at least as far as I can tell) which means you have thick fur on your biceps and just below your elbows aaaaaaand it looks like you had a bad Nair accident from that point to your hands.

And yes, I have to second the disappointment of no animal claws option for the Claws set.
