Steam Jump Travel Power

Harness the furious power and speed of steam to rocket through the air. Steam Jump is a new travel power that is available at Level 4 and is similar to the Jump Pack and the Zero-G Pack. Steam Jump cannot be slotted and will automatically shut down after a short period of providing unlimited vertical movement.

Steam Jump has a 30 second duration during which the user can ascend at up to 30 feet per second, after which it must cool down for 30 seconds. Like Jump Pack, it does not add horizontal movement. If both powers are activated, the activation times add but the ascension rate does not increase (i.e. up to 60 seconds of 30 feet per second ascent).

Steam Jump leaves a visible trail of steam behind the jumping character.

New Auras

The Steampunk Pack offers two new tintable auras, Victorian Décor and Clunker. The Clunker Aura, City of Heroes' first path aura, allows a character to leave a customized visible trail of falling gears and springs wherever it walks or runs. Either aura can be set as always active or combat only.

Emotes

Regular Emotes

The following emotes are unlocked by the Steampunk Pack:

• Hot Temper - /emote hottemper: Steam blows out of the character's ears.
• Inspiration - /emote inspiration: An old-fashioned incandescent bulb lights up above the character's head.
• Train Whistle - /emote trainwhistle: An antique whistle on a pulley appears above the character, who then pulls down on it.

Costume Change Emotes

Main Article: /cce

Also unlocked are two costume change emotes, which function like the /cc slash command with additional particle and sound effects. These emotes can be tied to a costume slot, or used with keybinds, macros, or directly input in the chat command line.

• Oil Strike - /cce # oilstrike: The character summons an erruption of black liquid from below and is quickly covered completely by it.
• Pressure Release - /cce # pressurerelease The character stomps on the ground and is engulfed in a resulting cloud of steam.

History

• The Steampunk Pack was made available for purchase through PlayNC.com on June 1, 2011.
