My Carnie Brute sure would love to have that CoL mask.... she doesn't want it badly enough for me to start buying these packs, though.

The Carnie costume is not part of the Super Packs. It is a separate item entirely.|

Oathbound's previous post made that clear.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I'm probably one of the persons least happy about these packs even existing (for a variety of reasons), but comments like this are unfair at best. Other fitting phrases would be "untrue", "false", or "flat out wrong". There're plenty of examples of changes being made based on player feedback in beta.|

Hell they don't even bother to fix the bugs that we report, and send it live as is. |
And if the changes you're hoping for is for them to cancel the packs altogheter, well, even I realize that that's just not going to happen.

The amount of new content since Freedom went live has been amazing. I have no problem with these super packs if they help generate additional content for the game. In less than three months, we have so far received:|

And to get it, it's quite likely you'll have to spend more than it would cost to hire someone to come up with an animated hair effect for players.

What costume parts DO drop in those packs, actually? Is there a special set in there? Idle curiosity only, I have no intention of dropping hundreds of dollars chasing random costume parts.

Pictures in this post. And from testing reports, the costume pieces show up very quickly, within 20 packs, 30 if you're unlucky. Still expensive if you genuinely want nothing but the costume set, but not nearly as dire as what you suggest.

Ty for the pix... thank goodness these are nothing I'm interested in. But awesome backpiece, I admit.

The Carnival of Light pack is really nifty - It's got head accessories, a belt, some nice boots (two versions), and some maces if you like war maces.
I love the sash belt. it's not symmetric!
you could have it all

That will cost you, on average, $87. You might be one of the one in a hundred who get it on your first Super Pack, but then again, you might be one of the one in a hundred who needs to spend more than $575 to get it. |

Do you feel lucky?

Probably the dumbest set to not release a corset with.
