One thing that wasn't explicitly mentioned in the dev chat last night about the "clunker" aura with its oil trail, the trail is part of a new "Path Aura." So the oil trail follows in your wake. Really cool stuff.

Agreed. I don't have any Steampunk characters but I do have several characters who could probably use some of the bits from the pack.

Actually, I'm curious to see what the pieces will look like once they're in the hands of folks who aren't that big into steampunk. It'll be interesting to see what these pieces look like once folks give them some colors other than 'brown(ish)'.

I think it'll get a lot of use for non Steampunkers. I have probably a handful of Victorian/Steam characters but I see a lot of these pieces being really useful for most of my other characters (one being a Mender). I see a lot of neat uses out of the clothing bits and armor pieces.

I am consistently amazed at ways I've seen players use costume parts that are "meant" to be one thing, but through player ingenuity are repurposed to fit with their own character concepts. I'm looking forward to seeing all the great steampunk and non-steampunk uses that players make with this booster!

Can someone from the art department comment on whether or not such trails can include particle effects? Could this tech, say for example, be fairly rapidly adapted to create blazing footprints in your wake that have flames with a vertical element to them? (Disclaimer: by fairly rapidly I mean is the tech in place now with only the artwork development needing to be done for these sorts of complex sprite and particle paths to be created?)
My mind is tickled.

I have a corpse in a cryo-suit (ala Coffin) ment to look sort of like an angel that will definitely benefit from those new wings in blue and white... The existing tech wings just never looked correct with all the floating pieces and transparent pieces. And the rest of the wings are just to organic or to overbearing (aka Valk wings). I'm hoping that floating sigil aura might also work (in greens or blues probably) for tech sort of projections like the defence fields in Mass Effect (as fun as the ACCUHUD is by itself, I want the whole ACCUSuit).|

My big concern is if the frequency of that gear aura can be tuned down. Having the occasional cog spin off is one thing but if its literally raining parts like implied in the one photo its usefullness is going to overwhelmed by silly.

And I fully agree. I get plenty of usage out of the packs that aren't for characters based around the pack's concepts.
And the Steampunk pack pics show some victorian-style clothing and such that clearly could be used for many different concepts! Even just those striped pants (without the weird patterns on the current pinstrip pattern we have now).

Seems too cool to not have separate options, just in case!

And hopefully fully tintable. I have one particularly sanguine character that would have a bloody good time with that path aura!
I wonder, with the Steampunk pack, if we'll finally see the Nemesis War Horse in-game....
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
They could make the warhorse a non combat pet and not even add animations.
Also I can't wait to make a clockwork cat girl.
