Haha! True! Although, it is somewhat funnier that the math is so far off (I meant to do that). |

And, you know... 8k for a custom powerset... I bet they'd get a few takers, haha.

I totally loved the update! I'm already having fun daydreaming over how I imagine various players would spend the money on the custom power set if they had the money/ could. (I wonder what gold blast would be like.)
I'd never be able to pick from my list of whacky ideas. Cookie armor, breakdance fighting, or Feline Mastermind, maybe.
I found it amusing how it basically promised to be overpowered too.

Now, if had that kind of money I would do it. |
If they actually sold store items for six figure points, I'm thinking they'd also start offering larger points bundles, maybe with bonus items instead of extra points.
The overall store selection was pretty solid. My fav. update ever!

Edit: There's always the dream feature for sharing points too. Or being able to pool up points from different players.
Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Dear Devs,
Do the vanity pet sings 'be our guest'? If so, I have my credit card right here!
Oh, if I get rularuu costume and a liger and bee power, can I have a liger, the size of rularuu who shoots bees from his mouth? If so, can I custom color each bee, so I can say 'FEEL THE RAINBOW' after each attack?
I just purchased my custome AT of rularuu summoning. Please make it so.
Thanks.

No Clown Summoning... Stephen King, Image and Gotham City disapproves.
Personally, I would've went with Mime minions (low grade illusion trollers), Laugh-Now-Cry-Later (for the Lts) and something from 'All Souls Day' or 'Mardi Gras' for the boss.
ah well, maybe we can have a more versatile Circus/Carnival set?
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"

Another big mmo that I won't name, but will elude to even though you all know exactly who I am talking about and I am clearly demonstrating acknowledgement of the rule that I am failing to bypass... *takes breath* could offer this power for FAR LESS MONEY! SHAME... SHAME on YOU Paragon StustustuStudios!! P.S. Nice job! A well done obvious joke is far better than an obvious attempt to be tricksy. |

No raging over the art department wasting time on making the icons instead of fixing bugs?

So, when will this be released? Hmmmm??
You could have pulled the best AF ever by quietly slipping it into the market today.

My guess is that the lion will be a normal vanity pet, and the tiger will go in the 2nd Superpack series

Clowns arrive on the battlefield via a single tiny car that they all pile out of. Price: 800 Paragon Points |
But what's it doing among all those obvious jokes?
Pity that the jokes are better than whats currently offered.
April fools!

MM players have been asking for a Carnie set for years. All the models, animations and powers are there. I dont see why they dont do it for real. It'd be a permit to print money!

Thumbs up on the "Vanity Pet". Got a good laugh out of me. Same with the "Who Hasn't Clicked the Button?" power. I could probably get some mileage out of that one, really...
