I disagree that they're not significantly different, but I agree with you that the pack really is too thin to merit buying. I didn't buy the Party Pack, either, because it wasn't enough value for the money. But I had the point lying about, you know?

I think all the parts in the pack are worth having, I just think the pieces that are missing are significant enough to raise a hue and cry over. It's not that what's there isn't great - we just deserve more than that.

I've been buying points on the NCsoft account management screen, and using Paypal, NOT the card attached to the account. The card attached to the account is my husband's and we budget closely on it, but my Paypal account is my own money so when I want to play, I use that.

Gonna disagree with you there, Sam. That's your opinion, and it's valid, but I wish you wouldn't make that a blanket statement. There are plenty of folks (ie, the group I hang out with, anecdotes being what they are, YMMV) that like the hood and belt just fine. In fact, I LOVE the hood, and find the open-neckness of it a very desirable addition to the costume options.

I will trade you my witch had AND the skanky "witch lace" set for the Baron coat.

AND the long skirt and the armored gloves. And probably the little demi-cape, but you can't see his back.

No, but it's about the funniest thing I've read in a while.

"I don't really care about other people, but I have the ability to feel MY feelings and empathize with them!"

Orly!

Right?

Is it bad that I kinda wish there was a setting for this?

I'm not actually sure it's unintended. I think they wanted it to be obtrusively obnoxious so that they had to spend at least SOME money just to relieve the aggravation.

Yeah, I gotta agree with that. I'm not a fan of that spiky business on the sides, but you know, it's closer than anything else has been!



That's my second character to get parts. I think that costume uses pieces from almost every darn pack! There's the CoT chest, hood and kilt, the barbarian corset guard, arm-lacings and rough pants, the samurai gloves, resistance boots, and the magic high-collar cape. Plus the "rocky crumble" aura on her feet so she really looks like she's still got the dust of the desert on her. <3

Seriously, I DO agree with the complaints about how thin the pack is and how much SHOULD have been included in it. I really hope they go back and put more in this - and I hope they DON'T decide to just squeeze us for another pack. But I think these pieces are a little more versatile than folks might think!

Nope. Gonna disagree with you there.

Help is too important to the free playerbase - to help them figure out how to actually PLAY THE GAME to have questions bumped off by idiots misusing the channel to LFG. That channel is busy enough with chatter, it does NOT need LFG spam in it too.

We should all be trying to keep the Help channel as clean as possible for the new folks, so they can get their questions answered, NOT encouraging people to junk it up with LFG spam.

That's not entirely true. I level up my characters with tip missions. They're easily available, and really not more repetitive than the rest of the missions in this game - same tilesets, same enemies, same fairly generic mission text (let's be honest - very few missions/arcs in this game are really interesting storywise, and some of us have been playing for so long that even those are sorta been-there-done-that.) It's like running paper/scanner missions, but with much greater benefits. Whichever character I happen to play, I'm generating alignment merits while still leveling, and playing a great variety of characters. It's really all the different ATs and powersets that keep my interest, not the missions, so it works out well for me. If I had just one character constantly generating AMs, THEN I would be bored to death.

Heh, this! Alignment merits > the abillity to do all missions on every character.

And this! I don't like redside anyway - I've got one villain who's over there for when my husband gets the urge to play redside and wants me to play with him.

I think you could have made the title a little less attention-grabbingly provocative though :P

Can't do the shoulders, she's already wearing different ones for concept reasons.

Didn't want to wear the ring belt, just wanted something that looked more like "finishing off" the top of the kilt. It has a weirdly abrupt look without the belt.

And I hate the furry boots, they're too Santa-y. I actually really like the Resistance boots because they look like they're just kinda patched together from worn old leather. Not really a match for the Resistance tech look, but great (IMO) for someone on the primitive side

I gotta say, my gaming partner's Thorns/Plant dom looks pretty darn sweet with some of those pieces on his new costume, very slick.

You know, this is really true. I've got all three Celestial pieces, I've got some 3k points sitting, and I don't particularly like the incarnate system. Believe me, it's crossed my mind more than once that now I can essentially unsub and get everything I care about for free.

The character slots hold me back though >.>

not that I'm aware of... but seriously, the costume creator needs ANOTHER serious overhaul. Why can't they just freaking alphabetize the pieces? Not to mention trying to figure out exactly what section they've hidden things in...

What?

Me too! I was really not looking forward to seeing the pope-hats everywhere and have no use for them myself, nor the big stupid antler shoulders, so I bought the set, am pleased with the set, and have put stuff into my characters already.

That being said...

I can see that other people wanted those pieces, and "it clips" just isn't a valid excuse anymore. It's just not. Too much other stuff clips - BADLY - for it to work. I bought the whole set, knowing full well that the only things I will probably ever use are the belt and kilt, to support Paragon. But really, it's a VERY thin pack for 400pp.

And meanwhile, I'm still waiting for several important costume related bugs (freaking female beast heads anyone?!??) to be addressed, so my goodwill is running a bit thin.
