Super Booster III: Super Science on the Test Server
June 24, 2009 - 4:38pm
Something big was expected due to the announcement yesterday - advising players to copy their characters to test before the patch today and I guess this is why.
Players are asked to help test out the latest Super Booster pack - Super Science. However, only characters that are on the test server before the patch are able to try out the new pack.
Now don't ask for pics, the test server is still down and I'm only patching, but here are some details to tide you over!
It contains new science themed costume pieces, emotes, and costume change emotes… as well as the new Super Tailor feature that will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character to Male, Female or Huge for each costume slot!
Costume Pieces:
Head
Hair (M,H)
Mad Science
Detail 1 (M,F,H)
Welder Goggles
Safety Goggles
Modern Goggles
Retro Goggles
Maverick Goggles
Death Goggles
Reflector
Detail 2 (M,F,H)

Gloves (M,F,H)

Lower Body
Boots (M,F,H)

Emotes:
/em experiment
/em calculate
Costume Change Emotes:
/cce # ccdrinkformula
/cce # ccsuperserum
Super Tailor Feature:
When visiting the Tailor or Facemaker in City of Heroes or City of Villains, a new NPC is available. The NPC will allow you to change the inherent body type of your character. You can choose Male, Female or Huge body types. Additionally, you will be able to change your character’s height. So characters can change from a short, skinny civilian to a HUGE powered brute!*
*Note : The described scenario will only work if you have an additional costume slot available at Level 20 or through the redemption of Halloween Salvage.
**The Super Science Booster is only available for a limited time on the Test Server in order to make sure we iron out any bugs that may still be lingering. (This is your chance to get a free sneak peek before it goes live) Characters that were not copied over to test prior to the patch will not have access to the Super Science Booster.
*** Please also note that we have disabled a back end process that copies over ‘active’ account status. This means that if your subscription ends today, or through the end of the week, you will be unable to access the Training Room until we re-enable that back end process. All active accounts that are not set to expire today (or through the rest of the week) will be unaffected.”

Pics!
Just some of the new face items -
Also, as for the emotes -
Calculate - White glowy formulas float in front of you as you do typical thinking actions - hand to chin, hand gestures..
Experiment - You pull out two flasks and look at each one, then after a bit you pour one into the other which results in an explosion. You then throw one down as it shatters.
Drink Formula - You pull out a flask and pour the contents into your mouth, you then kinda do the kheld shapeshift animation as you explode in a green cloud of smoke as your costume changes.
Superserum - You pull out a giant needle and jam it into your arm. You do the kheld animation again as you glow blue, then as the light fades your costume has changed.

On pic #2- is that all one piece or are face googles and breather separate from the mask?

The goggles and breathers are indeed separate items. There's a post on the official boards which shows each different item, click me. I knew someone would do it, which is why I didn't go crazy taking pics of each thing.

Good stuff Razor, and the ability to shift sizes again and body types - that's some good stuff right there. I need to check out all of the other pictures

Someone was kind enough to upload a video to youtube, it has all the different emotes.
I'm personally frustrated by the fact that I can't figure out how to access the super tailor stuff. I visit one of the surgeons, but I see no options...but the character has access to the other parts of the pack. It makes no sense.

I was thinking the same thing, cool, but a bit long. Still, I'm glad they are including more CC Emotes each time we get either booster packs and perhaps we'll continue to see the trend of them being added in with expansions such as Issue 15

Be honest, pax. You're excited about making Trannyformers.

Many won't get this reference, but all I can think of when I see some of the breather and goggle combo's is:
"Are you my mummy?"
"Are you my mummy?"

I might buy this pack just for the body-shifting.
Get hit on in game, and suddenly turn into a man? FTW!

I've only gotten hit on once maybe twice while in a male costume, so you might have something there, Kiwi.
Edit: I'm picturing going from slim sexy super heroic female to a short, stubby, grey bearded old guy with a comb over, a hunting vest, and tattered pants in a greenish beige colour that looks somewhat stained..... then saying, "ok, bub! Your place or mine?"

As a heads up, they are enabling this on test again tomorrow (Thursday) so if you missed your chance before...now you can genderbend once more.
