Steam Punk Trailer with bad old timely Music

I just saw that video and my gosh I want it now more than I did when I saw the first pictures. Fun, fun, fun.
Now I have to go read up on the Freakshow, because (1) I just realized I know nothing about their origins and (2) it seems to me that this Steampunkery might be a good origin for our lovable Freakshow that we all love fighting...and Nemesis as well...
And while my imagination is on overdrive, let me ponder as to how these people in their Steampunkery finery found their way to modern day Paragon city and Praetoria because oh yes, I will have a Steampunked Praetorian 
Hmm...3:47 in the morning is a tad too early for creative brainstorming...I guess the Circle Of Thorns had something to do with it...they always do.
And, and, oh my, I will have to make a gun totin' toon...but what to choose Blaster, Defender or Corr..I truly wish Doms had guns
And, I loved the music and felt it was perfect for the video
Lisa-squealing happily.
So don't wait for heroes, do it yourself

Come take a look at what we've used the new Steampunk Pack stuff on! 
Here are some samples:
Playstation 3 - XBox 360 - Wii - PSP
Remember kids, crack is whack!

Day one purchase here no doubt. Why is this not for sale now!?
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

So, the question remains then...what does the beautification tonic actually do?

It's imporoved face textures - but only for for the faces in the pack, I think - it's not new geometry for them, just new textures that makes them look more detailed.

As of now Dearest Techbot, the pack seems to be available to EU peeps, since I can log in to it and try it out. |

Hmm.. I just logged in to the EU Test and it doesn't seem to be available to me
There's only one other server in that list I can log in to, and that also doesn't seem to have the pack on it.Maybe I'm just doing something wrong

Ditto Kall, but Diggis on the current last page of the Test Server thread mentioned a way that we can use the US one, which we should be able to access now. Thats the one we need, which I'll test when I get home |

I agree with TrueGentleman that this pack really seems to mesh well with others; it also works exceptionally well with the Bridal Pack. Really nice to see the bolero jackets and bustles. And oh yeah, my liquid defender thanks you for the pressure release ccemote. Great work here from the art team.

See, now yous gottas do Steampunk Freakshows.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
It would be great if you could use a costume change emote that calls up a brass like chamber which you step in and then that closes, steam and oil would come out of various leaks before opening up again, with your new appearance.
Similar like the the suit upgrades in Dead Space.

I installed the US test an was able to access it with my EU account, which is where the confusion lays at my part.
Badge Earned: Wing Clipper
A real showstopper!
Only thing I don't like about this pack is that the included power isn't perma. It's a very of the jump pack that has a 30s recharge (original jump pack has a 2.5 min recharge).

The Magic and Science boosters are no-brainers for playing mix-and-match with Steampunk. I'm also hoping for serendipity with at least a few pieces, the way some from Going Rogue have become go-to items in their categories (e.g. the clockwork chestpiece)

Will purchase for the female costume parts and the aura - especially the aura.
I wish I likes the wings more than I do, but its all good - plenty in there I can use. I would buy for the female lace neckpiece alone, really.
Steampunk is so 90's...
...1890's. 
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
Some of the new parts are kinda nice. I was trying to make some additions to or new formal wear for a character of mine.
The new skirt is decent, but it rides up pretty high so and it looks a little silly in an open stance.
I can probably still use the chest details, belts, and jackets if I play with it more.

Have went out and played with it a bit... MORE NECK PIECES MORE MORE MORE MORE! Is that plain?!! MORE NECKPIECES all kinds, metal ones and robot ones and plant ones and all kinds of them! Make it snappy! 
NEECCCCKKKKKPIIEEECCCESSSSSSSSSSSS!
Would like to see this belt with more styles of buckle on it, closest thing to a good sash belt we have ever got. Nice.
I'd like to see glowing eyes enabled with the aura.

So it is new faces. That's disappointing.

There are quite a few interesting pieces in that Booster. A few nice hairdos, quite a bit of cool steampunk tech and a few snazzy clothes items. Worth the price of admission, easily.
