The theme didn't stop them before
Actually a little concerned about that second key pack. I wouldn't mind it if it wasn't only available for 24 hours. That's pretty limited. The
20 key packs are nice because the goodies usually go on sale pretty cheap in the AH, but with only 24 hours availability, that could really dampen the supply.
Wonder if it's a collab with Neverwinter...

"Having trouble grasping things, Champions? Feeling like you just don't have enough hands? The Mecha Claw Keypack has you covered. Starting tomorrow, November 22 at 10am PST and running for 24 hours in the Zen Store, The Mecha Claw Keypack grants you the arms you need for all of your science experiments and arachnid crushing, and also contains ten Keys to help you get hands on more items! Look for it tomorrow in the Zen Store!"
Having a key pack only available for 24 hours, with barely any notice, is going to really PO players who only log in for limited amounts of time (like maybe just the weekend). Why go out of your way to potentially offend part of the player base?
Like WTF....
Good thing, you can buy the Claw from AH...?.. And i bet the price will be.....BRUTAL!!!
Maybe next Keypack Costume Piece will have a tinybit chance to drop....

I say stuff and I say things, sometimes together but only when I'm feeling adventurous.
I'm @blu8 in game!
My friend who went to the test server said that the Defender Training Program thing is up there, or something, so my prediction is that the Mecha Claw part will be part of the reward for doing the 1-40 sprint in a week, but they're offering a one-day chance to get it and skip the grind, heh.
On the other hand though, feels way too soon for another Defender Week.
Kind of odd you went with different colors for these texts.
I went to Spiral to see if there was anything added. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, but those colors are similar to the carnivals booths there. And was there always a Carney at the Blue Fun Booth?

Yes but I only noticed it recently ^_^
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
For casual players the game is becoming far too expensive for what we are given. And before you come at me, I have played and supported the game for years. I've bought Zen many times. You're better off getting the resource upgrade from the Premium Pack and buying the pieces and powers you want from the Auction House.
We're the consumer. We can direct the flow of the game. If it was my game I would sit down with the players and breakdown how things work and give them basic price estimate for labor on their requests. From there, we would all decide what direction to take.
Giving players the chance to earn costume pieces will make them play the game and give less wealthy players a chance to get the new stuff. I don't mind grinding 300 tokens for a costume piece.
Calling it now, there's going to be a Warlock class. Called "The Heretic", it's a red coloured Satanic themed magic archetype.

I mean zero offense (the set was obviously well-made and looks great), but I just feel like I’ve seen this before and it’s the same stuff over and over. Bulky, ill-fitting, unflattering pieces layered over one another. And the themes - while I believe there’s a place for everything in CO, as we’re a quite diverse bunch, it’s just (IMO) a questionable aesthetic on repeat without much sense or direction. I mean, we’re still short of relatively basic pieces that are common to the genre, but we have Fruit Bat hair and Krampus Returns to Magic Mountain. The exact same-shaped Foot Accessories, bracers and wacky hairstyles. And it goes on and on…
With superheroes at their most popular and other MMOs around, I really do think it’s time to go back to basics. MOAR Tights (and Tights & Skin, Masks, Gloves, Capes, Footwear, hairstyles, emblems…); 90’s, Bronze, Silver, Golden Age, Modern – there’s still so much to explore. New patterns for old meshes, wider material dissemination, a new spin on launch & early hairstyles… got a great chest piece w/ a round design – let’s see it in a V-shape, or another variation. All that good (in comparison, perhaps more regular or traditional) superhero stuff.
Again, this isn’t a dig at the Brutal costume set or the Devs – in fact, I think you guys are killing it lately. But while I try to keep feedback positive and sort of pick my battles (and to no avail, too, looking at Telekinesis and TK Maelstrom’s FX changes semi-recently), the truth is I’ve not been excited about a costume set in ages and feel a bit alienated as a player. And that kinda sucks. /rant
Whaaa???

Being a mime, I use the imaginary weapon skins a lot of the time, and I'd love to swap into my Foxbat costume by doing a dance while wielding my Foxbat Trout, but instead I'm swinging around absolutely nothing. Then if I wanted to change to my knight outfit, instead of pulling out my magical excalibur-esque Broadsword to summon the powers of He-Man, NOPE, now its time to dance and pose in my knight armor with a fish.
Can we fix this?
They can't.
Which is why it's not so usefull.

You made the right choice!
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Monster Island, Echinochos shores
For some reason, Earthquake is sometime unable to be used on Warrior and Megadrille in Monster island. Neither you can on Ape. I guess it can happen on other ennemies and different places too. I think it's related to terrain collision ?
Link : Look at the power tray, slot 3
But limited time offers and lootboxes push me away from that.
That.... seems like an odd statement to make. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say you want it to feel like it's worth spending money? Do you mean as in, you want to feel like the money you spent has an effect on the game's development, or you want to feel like you got something of value, or...?

wait a second... why did Kaiserin's armpits have stink clouds on them?
