GamePro magazine and website to shutter next month

Someone call Bob Barker ASAP.

Looking forward to this set One of the reasons I'm still here.

I wonder if they ever changed Arc of Destruction though; there were quite a few players unhappy with the animation, and it was the only attack one couldn't use while flying, which didn't make a lot of sense (unless it was to compensate for superior damage).

The good, the bad, and for some, the ugly:

"Wow, Delta House got really serious about their toga party this year. Is that the school mascot?"

I have to agree with the OP, as I have done several times over in the Gunslinger Feedback thread, which (as mentioned by several others) garnered not even one dev response in regards to the concerns brought up there, and again here.

If anything, female characters should have more options than men. I say this because they should be able to wear dresses/ skirts and pants, bustiers/ corsets or jackets, etc.

As it is right now, there's not nearly enough lateral movement for female characters where these costume packs are concerned. As the OP has demonstrated, several packs in the past, and now the Gunslinger pack, leave female characters with little options but to dress in tops that leave little to the imagination, or bottoms that do the same. Where are the missing jacket and lower torso options?

Certainly, I understand that many comic females dress for sex appeal (it's part of what sells comics). At the same time, there are also plenty of examples of strong female characters that can pull off sex appeal without needing to bare most. At this point, the new costume boosters only cater to the former, IMPO. The focus of these certain costume packs is so narrow that there is little value to many concepts in them; quite the opposite actually - female characters are being pigeon-holed into a singular mold which consists of immodesty.

Until such a time whereas female characters can actually use a similar jacket as their male counterparts with these boosters, or get a decent pair of pants (instead of a skirt flap that barely covers their groin), I think I'll be abstaining from purchasing costume packs. Mind you, I don't have one female character in my arsenal, but until we can get some sort of reaction to the points that have been brought up time and time again, I'll through my hat into this Virtual Women's Rights Movement. You can call it a boycott if you wish, but I simply like to think that my money can be better spent elsewhere until something is done by the dev team to address this reoccurring matter to which many players have continually taken issue, myself included..

Edit: after having read Zwill's reply, I can appreciate addressing these concerns moving forward, but IMPO, I think it's a bit of a cop-out to say "we're too busy to fix sets we've already made". For me, it's a less-than-satisfactory reply. My previous request goes for not just moving forward, but for sets already created. Until they are addressed, I'm going to maintain my stance. I'm not asking for much on behalf of female characters - a jacket here, a pair of pants there.

Also, if you're going to set up a feedback thread for feedback, ensure that someone who actually does have time to respond actually delivers two-way communication to players leaving feedback, lest we think we're delivering feedback to a brick wall.

I've always wanted to use horns with glasses or goggles, so I heartily approve of this suggestion.
