Sad that I can't get on the EU test server to see what its like, so won't be buying it.

Enjoy everyone that could, and yeah, shame about the clip.

I doubt I won the PC Gamer Giveaway, but I'm so hesitant to buy it right now just in case I did win and the code is surfing through the net on its way to my e-mail.

@_@

Maybe I should wait an hour?

Or a minute? >.<

A little disappointed the animal fur isn't available for normal hands and feet, but overall a good set I think.

Still on the fence with this one. I'm gonna give it another week or two, probably, see if any other animals out there fuel my own concepts for new characters.

the set does have approx 60 pieces because they had to design the 20 or so pieces in the set for each body type (male, female, huge)

even so, theres still a good bit of variety for the pack, and i also say the beast run looks pretty neat too

Is the speed of the new run same as ninja?

yes, all the stats on it are identical (including being unslottable and .46 end/sec consumption)

edit: it also cannot be used at same time as ninja run, and is also mutually exclusive with the same powers that ninja run is exclusive with

It's that time again, when Latin America users can not buy the newer booster packs.

The latest booster pack the local retailer has available is the Cyborg Pack (...). I've sent a ticket to support to get this resolved.

good to know, thanks.

I just purchased, not that I can forsee using animal costume parts, but if it contributes towards further development, I consider it a few pounds well spent!

Would love to purchase it. I keep getting a message that they can't accept my order at this time and if I continue to have this problem to visit a retailer. Don't know that I can go into a Game Stop and ask for the Animal Pack . I will try again again later.

I already bought this so excited for real god animal heads and I wasn't dissapointed. Just a few thoughts for feedback, the lion mane really only goes around the neck when I think lion mane I think it covers the neck and shoulders of a lion so would love to see a mane for the neck option.

The new animal feet can only be used with the wierd bend legs and no offence but they look weird for a bipedal cat so i would love to be able to use the cat claws etc for they boot option of a normal leg.

Other then that I love it.

Is it true that there is no "Bear" head?? Please tell me it's false!!!

I was looking forward to this pack because I love Bear-theme. I love making Bear type of toons.


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Love the pack although I have very little need for a lot of the animal themed parts, the Beast run is worth it on its own hehe.

However I did notice a spelling mistake - the 'Arctic Wolf' head is spelt ARTIC Wolf surprised that one slipped through QA

I bought the pack because I may be able to use some of it at some point, even if the ideas I've had aren't quite worth using up one of my remaining slots on Triumph.

I'm a bit disappointed with the clipping on some pieces, but frankly, so many parts clip at this point I just try to over look it in general. (I don't think I have a single character where the body doesn't clip through the cape.) And while I understand that Cat, Wolf, Avian, and Minotaur provide a fairly broad mix, I would have liked to have seen a bit more diversity, at the very least Simian, given the long and proud association between apes and comic books. As it is, I have to fake Gorilla Girl's costume because Animal Fur doesn't cover her arms and hands.

And I still think the Fleas look more like cockroaches leaping off you, but that's picking nits. (Pun sadly intended.)

I wonder how long it will be -- if ever -- before there's an addition to the selection, an Animal Pack II, perhaps?

DancingBadger has a problem. Can you see it?

Planned on purchasing this, would love to purchase it, however I can't get past not having the animal fur for "normal" hands and feet. It just looks ridiculous on heeled boots. I see person after person has posted this issue already on the test server feedback thread. Don't get me wrong, what has been done has been done well but for those of us who still want an animal look without using the monstrous lower body it's a damning omission.

Well despite all the grumbling everyone is giving I have only one thing to say about the Animal Pack.

American Phoenix Approves!!!

I planned on purchasing this, and would love to purchase it, but I can't get past the Confirm Purchase screen. I've tried three times now to buy this and I keep getting the "We can't process your order, please try again later or come back tomorrow."

Guess I'll try again when I get home.
