the Power of STEAM!!!!!!!!
probaly one of the packs I'm more really looking forward to, mainly because it means I can finaly make some old costumes work right!

Besides being unutterably cool in and of itself, this also means they now have the capability to offer other kinds of backpacks as costume parts -- how many people have asked for high-tech jetpacks over the years, for instance?

very cool. I probably won't be getting it right away. But I know I will probably be getting it at some point in the future (Clank demands it!).

I think they will be fitting in the same slot as wings, given their form and function.

Oh, I am SO looking forward to this. Doc Comet is going to get such a re-vamp/make-over.

Behold the wonders of the Steam booster: Now available on Test for a short time

Clearly, a Nemesis plot. I mean, just look at all that brass!

I'm more excited about the Victorian-Era costume pieces than I am about the Steampunk Accessories, myself...

Someone's done a VERY good Near-Carnie with the new pieces already, on the CoH Fora

Since my desktop is capable of rendering in full Ultra mode, I thought I'd go in and find EVERYTHING in the new set and display it. 

Here's the parameters of this shoot:  

All Graphics set on high end Ultra so as to display the maximum amount of detail (and boy is there a LOT of detail!). 

I used the Praetorian Character create menu so as to accentuate that sort of "brassy" look. The costumes are all set with two main colors. Nothing complicated. The colors are a deep brown and a gold. Some pieces were colored individually, but most were just fine with the default "set to all" switch on. All body proportions are set to defaults. I used "Male" and "Female". With the assumption that "Huge" would be a duplicate of "Male" I omitted taking shots of that. 

There is "Classic Steampunk" and "Victorian Steampunk" as a theme. There was nothing in the way of a set theme set into the costume generator as a default. So I went menu hunting. I'm 99% certain I found everything. 

I've taken shots of each as it's own set. Either all "Classic Steampunk" or all "Victorian Steampunk". No mixing of the two. This is only to show off the set pieces themselves. (Though obviously mixing of elements would create some even niftier outfits, that's not the point of this shoot. 

Backbacks and Wings are displayed on the male characters. But rest assured, they do work on the female models as well. I just omitted them for clarity. 

There are no "Steampunk" Blade sets. And no powers that have different effects based on Steampunk. The only powers that have skins for Steampunk are the Assault Rifle and Dual Pistols. So they are displayed here. 

There are two different Auras. "Clunker" and "Victorian Effects". The clunker you've already seen in the trailer. the Victorian you've probably seen if you go to the linked forums above. 

There are slightly more costume options than what's shown here. There are a couple of alternate coat options for the Male Victorian and a couple of different belt options for the Female Classic Steampunk. But what you see here is at almost everything. If it's not shown, it either doesn't exist or there are only a couple of variants of the piece to show anyway. 

The last Costume set I was taking shots of was the Female Victorian. Partway through, something went wonky with my snip tool and I could only get an all black screen. But that's ok, since I was meaning to take some shots of emotes and such anyway. So I made the actual character and set her into Mercy Island for the emote shots. 

There are three Steampunk Emotes: "Inspiration" (Which I tend to call "Eureka"), "Hot Temper" (stomping the ground, steam coming out of ears) and "Steam Whistle", which is exactly as advertised. Heh. 

So - Voila: 

hee hee, looking over some of that stuff I can already think of how to use it, for example, DS will be grabing that glowing aura.

also, I swear to god we will see an influx of Dr Steel toons when this pack hit

Ok, so I was curious if I could come up with a good version of Kara Skye's outfit using the steampunk set. 



Niiice. Not bad at all!



Uhm... wow... uh... I think I'm going to be in my bunk. For a while. Yeah...

oh my... we combind this stuff with what we got in the magic pack.....

hmmm, I don't think I'll be leaving the costume editor for a bit when this hits.

Will also be mixing Clockwork, Cyborg and steampunk to see what I can get

I think Doc comet, Sil, Gith and several others will be seeing some massive costume updates when this hits.

Just wish i could get onto test to play with them

Hey - EML! Lookee here! 



(Best guess based on my memory of what Lincoln Memorial looked like, with the new beard from the Steampunk set added). 

*EDIT: Bonus pic - ACTION!!!  ^_^

How about a reformed (Or not so reformed if you're redside) Carnie?

You are having way to much fun with this, arn't you?

Ugh, Can't get onto Test

Heh. You know, I was wondering what Gryph might do to update his Teddy Roosevelt. Though he prolly cant afford the subscription nor the pack.
