Heh. Ustream special guest star scooped by open beta server? Guess we'll see tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure that there is a Cupid vanity pet coming (it was mod-leaked info). I'd like to see that in a bundle which unlocks previously level- or event-locked items in the same way the Holiday Pack did and the Roman Pack will. It would look something like this:

SPRING FLING PACK
  • Patrician Toga
  • Victory Laurel
  • Hellenic Sandals
  • Hearts Pattern for Tights Tops, Bottoms, and Boots
  • Cupid Pet
  • Cupid Bow
  • Emotes: Propose, ThrowConfetti, ThrowRice, ThrowRosePetals, Swoon

David "Noble Savage" Nakayama will be stopping by to discuss these new sets and I'll try not to tangent too much. People say I tangent to much, but it's like that one time I went to the grocery store to get some bread. By the way, I had a great sandwich for lunch today. Oh look, there's a rock.

If you've never tuned into our Coffee Talks, you can check out our Ustream channel and "Join the Crowd"! If you want to participate in the chat, be sure to sign up for a Ustream account! We broadcast every Wed from 10:30 AM Pacific until 11:30 AM (ish).

See you there!
So what you're saying is, we're getting a Mayonnaise Blast powerset? Or is it Mustard Blast?

That should be very exciting, but...the introduction of super packs and some costume packs having exclusive release through them means I'll hold my breath.

Indeed. My thoughts are that any costumes tied exclusively to the Super Lottery may as well not exist.

I think the tri corner hat, from having seen it, is more of a one-off and is not really the quality of the pack pieces we've seen thus far.

But we do know from leaks to the cc that there is some sort of chainmail set in the works. I don't think anyone has seen a single item from that yet. (IIRC, chainmail gloves made it as a blank item to the live build and chainmail coif made it to open beta or test.)

First pack (of the two) is the Pocket D Pack.

Second pack is Imperial Dynasty

Sadly I could think of 5 must-have superhero themed sets I'm still waiting to see that are more appropot than Imperial Dynasty. Are we playing Aion or CoH cause both these sets seem more appropriate for Aion. Sorry, but those were really quite underwhelming.

Speaking for myself, I've got two dozen alts based on the Chinese Zodiac. The Imperial Dynasty set is what I've been waiting for!

Eh, I like a huge majority of what this game provides.
I simply don't smoke enough of whatever you're smoking to pretend I could like -everything- in this game.

Well, so far they've made Halloween, Winter/New Year, Valentine's Day and now Chinese New Year costume packs, so it's not totally impossible that there could be a patriotic one for July 4th.

When somebody tells "Marketing" that we want a Native American Indian costume pack before we want an Imperial Chinese dynasty pack.

Talk about a major minority cultural theme being overlooked for regional pan-asian favortism... We already have a ton of asian-influenced costume sets in game. How about representing a long time comic book influence that has been seriously ignored by this game?

Because being unreleased and only seen in a leak means the hat is done and untouchable?

I wouldn't call it either way.

Haha, what I meant was...
In understanding that anything and everything is not for everyone... Appreciation can be had for the fact that they did the work to make someone happy!
Not that I or you or anyone will actually enjoy/like that specific costume piece... but that we can all enjoy the fact that the team did work that was appreciated by whatever fraction of players do like it.

It requires a bit of unselfishness... But, ya know... I was thinking positively.
The only thing I'm smoking is love!! Breathe it in! It's all around!!
