An unlikely set of updates to "Animal Pack"


Blue Rabbit

 

Posted

Hello everyone,
I really enjoy this somewhat recent set, the "Animal Pack", but something that I was really hoping to see with this set was the introduction of more reptilian heads/tails, something more dinosaur like, the male reptile head is not to my liking, I tried making a dragon themed character, but I feel that the current available head does not do dragons justice, I want a more classic Chinese type dragon with the whiskers thing. Also, since they put minotaur legs in the game, it would be creepy but epic if they introduced a goat head, allow for a Baphomet look.
On another note concerning the animal pack, the avian head and legs are awesome, but I just can't get myself to use it on account that the bird wings are the birds arms, yet my toon has arms as well? I have tried the whole prosthetic arms looks so as to emphasize the alien like nature of arms on a toon that should not have arms. But an armless toon, this would of course make for a nightmare of power set/archetype problems. One thing though that dawns on me is the fact that once a toon is equipped with wings, the moment they fly (if they have flight), the wing flapping response is automatic, could this feature be made to also over ride melee attacks, but for assault ranged powers, I have not a clue to a solution, still, I would like to see some sort of:
bird head + bird feet + bird wings = no arms, (sigh, there is no bird tail either, the bird feature of this package needs allot of attention)

You're not going to get a "no arms" option. I'd place money on it. Just removing the arms would look even worse than the arms and wings combination. Moving the wings to the arms position would take a huge amount of work from the art department. And it was said by a dev a while back that they can't exclude costume parts based on powersets, or vice versa; the two systems don't talk to each other, so there would be pretty serious issues with any armless character that uses a weapon. And since that's EVERY character (thanks to numerous temporary powers), it's just not likely. Furthermore, automatically removing the arms screws over people who want it that way - see Ace Duck from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for an example.

As to additions to the pack, don't hold your breath on that either. Except for bug fixes, the devs don't typically go back and change Booster Packs after they've been released.

But don't let that discourage you! The pieces you're asking for may well already be in the works, and if not, they may make it into future development cycles. From what we've seen and heard already, the Paragon Store will have lots of things to pick and choose from, including a few things that go beyond what we're used to seeing in game. And if you maintain your subscription, you'll get free points each month to buy those pieces with.

I reeeeeeeeally want a non-fluffy "whip" tail for dog toons (think greyhound, dalmatian, pit bull, weimeraner). The fox tail doesn't do it.

I also want, but at a lower level of emotional involvement, a squirrel tail. And ankylosaur and stegosaurus tails.

Also, and Equine Head and Tail, Ursine Head and Tail, a Elmore-Parkinsonian Dragon Head(in addition to the Chinese Dragon Heads), a Bulldog-Hound-ish Head, AND for all the heads to be scaleable and accept Glowing Eyes Auras. The former are additions that are wanted the latter are corrections that are needed.

Yes, more than likely we will have "Animal Pack 2" with some of the options I suggest and some that the OP and others have suggested. Fingers Crossed.

And as a perenial suggestion/thread jack, please fix the Crab Spider Helmets already, sheesh.

I just need a single (preferably metallic-) horn, unicorn style.

Seriously.
I do.

Really.

I have this brute named Star Dasher, see. He's... He's sort-of inspired by a certain ridiculous little flash game. That rainbow path aura? Perfect for him... Likewise the up-coming Fire path for his second, "heavy metal" costume... But he's just not *right* without a sharp, pointy horn. Which we don't have amid our fairly large assortment of other horns.

So...sad, destructive unicorn-brute is sad.
It's rough being hornless.

I Agree with you they need a Dragon Booster pack or reptile and Dinosaur type of Booster Pack.

Some Ape heads would be awesome - especially since the pack came with an emote that, you know, lets you act like an Ape.
