    Hrmm Sword Pack seems like a weird name to give. Is it just one sword or what? I am confused to be honest, and didn't see anything new in my costume picks that I noticed so I dunno what new sword was given for swords.​​

    The sword pack isn't a new weapon skin, it's just a new back piece.

    Sword pack is a bunch of swords sticking out in different directions, used as a backpack.

    And here I had hope...

    To add insult to injury the pack is made entirely of swords we don't have as actual weapons.

    Seems that Cryptic has become adept at roping us in with false promises and then twisting our expectations like D&D Genies. The offer us animal heads, then make them horrific and cartoony. They offer us playable villains, then give us Onslaught. They offer a sword pack, and then IT'S THIS GARBAGE.

    I think this is hilarious, I can totally see it on some of the edgy characters. It's like something out of deadpool or a samurai anime. What if it was a head attachment as well? Like a glowing halo of swords. :3

    Also, it might be better to rename it Swords Pack Back or something... usually "packs" are costume unlocks that unlock multiple pieces. I first thought it was a pack of melee weapons.​​

    Heh. Not sure what I'd ever use it for, but humorous, and probably as likely to find use as the rubber float ring.

    Ok, Despite not being GOLD, I was exciting when I saw the Sword Pack reward for the name Sword alone (HEY EVERYBODY I LOVE SWORDS)

    but after @Stellariodragon posted screenshot of it, ingame, I was pretty dissapointed

    this thing is a mess

    I was expecting something like THIS

    Something Elegant and organized, also the shields would make it more appealing (fom anyone wondered,this is a screenshot from Thundercats Debut, Episode: The Duelist and the Drifter)


    not this mess, what is even holding the swords together? Magnets?​​

    THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING

    Also the fact that none of the potraited weapons are not available ingame, doesn't help the case​​

    Okay....Death wish needs that for his 90s costume :) This is what sub rewards should be, a one shot costume bit that adds polish and customization to the game.

    On a separate note, I would happily pay 700 for a costume pack with all those swords in it :) Maybe with some additions to the blunt object supply as well?

    So many sword models glued together. And yet none of them are available to use as actual weapons.

    Could you make them look like they are attached to something? Or assort them better so they aren't a spiral? Straighten them up and have a wrap around them attached to the torso and it would actually be kind of awesome.​​

    Side note: Totally glad this is not a whole pack of unlockable sword skins. Don't get me wrong: I'd love a pack of sword skins but I wouldn't want so that would be so desired by the player base to be locked behind a sub wall.

    @stellariodragon

    In true 90s fashion, he should have powers completely unrelated to his massive amounts of gear. I'm thinking a Celestial healer :)

    Also, if Ya'll want a different sword backpiece, please leave this one as is. It really is quite perfect for its niche use. Making it look organized would hurt the effect :/

    This would be much better. What we have is a bit of a mess.

    Also, it's about time we had dual materials on things like swords where the blades are metal but the strapped handles are cloth/leather

    So does the actual Sword pack not have a sword skin?


    Seems like a good time to add at least one weapon skin from that back piece to the actual Sword Weapon skins
  • crypticbuxomcrypticbuxom Posts: 4,629 Arc User
    Oh its called "Sword Pack"?!

    This isn't the Sword Pack we're looking for. Move along.​​
  • bazodeebazodee Posts: 151 Arc User
    Wow! that's an interesting looking piece.

    Does he have Magneto on his back?

    Random made this suggestion:

    Suggestion: Make the Sword Pack an actual weapon. You could hold it by the handle on the giant sword.

    That would be such a funny weapon skin, please make that happen!!

    I think the Sword Pack is excellent, actually. Next month - a gun belt with more guns than human beings have hands to fire them with. You know it makes sense.

    I have got to say... OUCH, that's gotta hurt.

    ON the other hand, does it shrink wiht tiny characters or can you keep it huge?
