I can partially agree, I would like them to fix the bugs in the game. However, it's obviously an excellent business decision to fix bugs and release new content in tandem (disregarding the fact that new content creates new bugs). Why is it an excellent business decision? Because a lot of people will buy the booster packs. The company will therefore get more money, and be able to implement more stuff that people want. Remember, the Wedding Pack basically funded VEAT creation.

I absolutely love that analogy. I laughed out loud when I first read it. My partner laughed out loud when I told him about it. Brilliant!

Ahhhhh, *that's* what that was. I saw that and thought "EW! Not using THOSE gloves!" I didn't even think of it as being a bug.. because so many of the different skin textures (and tights colors) don't match up at the neck-line.

I swear the only caffeine I've had this whole week was this morning, because I actually wanted to by hyper today. Now I cannot even hiccup straight and it has nothing to do with Red Bull. (And has everything to do with the vodka others have been feeding me.)

Hmm, not sure I've expressed quite enough love for the devs this evening. <3 <3 <3 WE LOVE YOU!

as others have mentioned: ninjajump ... apparently.

Did you select one of the alternate face shapes?

Apparently the hair style doesn't scale well if you've adjusted the cranium slider.

I do not understand the mids editor at all. Very cumbersome. Not complaining, but it's definitely not for the casual poker. >_>

Will do! *bounciebounciebouncie* Wheeeeeeee! (RED BULL!)

... *suddenly realizes she can do a pretty good Swashbuckler costume with the ninja robe*

SQUEEEEE! Imma design the costume today. I'm still not going to roll the toon until GR.. but YAAY! Now I'll have someone who can take over the Buccaneers! (I hope I don't burn myself out on Dual Blades..)

I agree 100%

Yeah, you can see the ridiculous midsection when using the ... which emote is it? Sit? The one where your legs are bent but your feet and butt are on the floor, and your elbows are on your knees? Yeah, the torso looks.. painful and inhuman there too. Always has. I bump up the body slider on almost all of my toons and it doesn't help in that direction, unfortunately.

Honestly I think the Devs know exactly what they're doing. I've wondered for a long time when Robotics was going to get nerfed, but it's still as sick a set as ever. I really think it's working as intended.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that when you switch builds, Ninja Run and Walk are both subject to the 15-minute no-use timer. Hopefully there's a fix coming down the line.

Wow, I never even thought of that. That's totally unfair! D:

You are correct.

Not sure about the name, but if you open the costume window and look through the list of emotes, just add CC to the beginning and that *should* be the name. [If Ninja Leap does not follow that pattern, I believe it would be the first time.]

Someone verified (and I have also logged in and seen for myself) that Ninja Run, just like Super Jump, can be detoggled with Combat Jumping. So it does NOT function like Walk. YAY!

Yeah this has always kinda bugged me too, though it's an NCsoft thing, I don't think Paragon Studios has anything to do with it. I know which ones I've bought (because I've bought all of them), but more descriptive names would be really nice.

First: YYAAAAAYYY!

Second: I don't even care if we have scabbards that never have sword hilts in them. Or always, even when swords are drawn. Even if it's a totally non-functional, static, unanimated costume piece, that would be awesome. (Scabbards and Quivers.. do you know how many of my toons are re-rolled D&D characters?)

Why, thank you! :] Though I know there are many people who have over 100 toons, and even some who have filled their accounts. (Also, many of my toons are L10 or less, lots of L1s.. someday they will gain their levels! xD) I am only forcing myself to wait to roll new toons for GR because I have so many toons right now, rolling more just means they get played even less :P

Ahhhhh, *that's* what that was. Thank you, I was wondering.

I am sure all of that is working as intended. Because even with as nerfed as it is, we already have someone whining that people can now pay $10 to become overpowered. Imagine if it cost less, was usable in combat, and was slottable! The DOOOOOM would be unbearable!

When the Cyborg booster came out, we did not yet know they were going to do origin based boosters. Then they did magic pack, and a redname said 'Hmm, cyborg, magic, maybe the other origins will be next?' - I'm paraphrasing, but the Devs absolutely consider CYBORG pack an origin-based pack. Ergo, the Ninja pack has a very high probability of being the Natural booster.

Edit: I also remember an interview with someone (Posi?) in which someone begged for animal heads and tails, and that redname said "Hmm, sounds like a mutant booster to me!" - Now, whether or not the mutant booster had already been started, or whether or not animal features will be in the mutant booster, I don't know. But a redname said it, so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Someone else already mentioned quivers, scabbards, etc. I'd also like to see more pirate (specifically swashbuckler), knight, D&D class-type stuff (ranger, thief, etc). I know we can already get close with what we have, but we also had a lot of ninja-y stuff already too. It's not like there's a shortage, we just want more. ;]

That is awesome. Thank goodness it doesn't work like walk. I am a happy camper, now.

Not all Technology based characters are Cyborgs, but the Cyborg pack counted as the "Technology" pack. I *do* hope they come out with more natural based costume bits, but make no mistake this does count as the Natural booster pack.

I'm only worried because walk does not work that way. Walk detoggles everything, and then you have to physically turn walk off before you can start executing powers again. Granted, walk is an exception... so I'm hoping you're right!!

In my defense, no one had said it wasn't slottable when I asked if it was slottable.

Also, I understand their reasoning, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. ;]

I'm still advocating CJ being suppressed instead of tetoggled! Ohplease!?

I see more stuff like this in the future, though. They have to make the Super Boosters worth $10 to more than just the collectors and costume addicts. Look at the Super Tailor introduced with the Science pack - that's *huge*! It's a real incentive to spend that $10. I think they're going to keep it up, too.. which is an excellent business decision.

I mean, I don't have a ton of money to throw around, but I have a bit of money set aside as "spending money", and since City is basically my only form of entertainment (besides vodka.. ahem) I don't sweat the extra $10 once or twice per year. I already save that much (or more) by paying for my subscription annually instead of monthly.

Well put. I have one toon who uses Swift/Hurdle/Sprint/Combat Jumping as her "travel power". The Raptor Pack and Zero-G pack are okay, but they're still really not her style. I'm going to love Ninja Run on her, even if she's not a ninja. (D&D Human Ranger.)

Yeah, that was pretty much my concern too. I was hoping for more swashbuckler, knight, ranger, and other (especially D&D) type options. I have made some fairly good costumes along those lines with what we have, but there are also some great ninja costumes already, so it's not a question of "need".

For me, it's more a question of getting a poofy shirt, vest, and ostrich feathered hat so I can justify rolling up yet another DB toon and name him Bruce, so he can take over Spirit of Tampa Bay's VG (The Buccaneers of course!) when she is redeemed.

Wow, so yeah. I'm going to have to get really good about remembering to turn it off and turn CJ back on when getting into combat.

I don't suppose there's a way we could have Ninja Run simply suppress Combat Jumping instead of turning it off? So when I engage in combat I can just turn off Ninja Run and still have my (meager) defense? *ducks* Sorry Devs! Still not complaining! I love youuuu! ;]
