    Wow I just looked at these expressions on DTI, such a shame that they're forcing us to double up with the be-gone items. It's really so shitty. Especially because these expressions look HILLARIOUS and cute and would be so fun to play with!!! But I absolutely refuse to spend so much. Also, why the hell did they release these as mystery capsules??? The be-gone items individually sold and in a superpack is way better. I hate the mystery capsule scam SO much. The manufactured scarcity is extremely annoying. I would spend so much more money if I could just actually pick the things I want and just do the fun paper doll part, the acquisition of items makes me buy nothing on the site and just get everything on the black market lol. Plus I buy way less.

It seemed like a cool idea to give us more control of body parts disappearing with the be-gone items, but if they introduced that just so that their future items would only work properly if you purchase the be-gone stuff, that's pretty shady., Especially because most items in the past already worked this way without be-gone.
    Yeah, I think you mentioning how it didn't work in the past like that is huge and I totally agree with that being a problem. Thats probably why they structured these 2 in the same cap to say they go hand in hand but it doesnt really eliminate what we would have expected given how other items were released. Just for the sake of expectations and feeling like its redundant, i think people would have less of an issue if they just dropped the be-gone mouth and raise the price of the capsule to 300nc? Although I think a part of this is for the gambling structure many free online gaming companies do and keeping it low enough. Would it be less of an issue if the entire be-gone series was released as a mystery capsule? And the expressions were buyable?

    No, that would be the same. Ideally they would all be buyable, even with a superpack and some of them requiring the purchase of the superpack would be better. It would be best if the expressions automatically removed the part of the face they're covering up just like dozens of items have done in the past like smiling eyes etc. The be-gone items would still be very useful even if they did that.

    Apparently mouth be-gone is a possible bonus item but it's very strange to me it's even necessary to begin with. I think the reason they made it a mystery cap is because there are really only like, 4 desirable expressions in it

    Lots of anger on the NCC!

    Not surprising, but TNT does not care and their response to the cap issue is laughable "There's no intent to be devious here it just happens that you did not get those.":

    I'm messing around with these expressions & the be-gones, some of them are actually very whack.
    I didn't realize the mouth be-gone wasn't in the super pack as well. That makes way more sense now. I think I agree with you but I'd also say if they wanted to raise the price to 300nc (without the be gone requirement) that should be fine also. Perhaps? It might still cause people to be upset but at least it's not slimy.

    To be honest, the only way to make this right would to just put the expression and Be-Gone items buyable in the mall 24/7. Putting them in as caps doesn't make much sense. Especially because these types of items have been requested by players for some time, and this is how they chose to add them.

    I'm messing around with these expressions & the be-gones, lots of them are actually very whack/broken.
    Also just realized a bunch of these are animated. What context does anyone even see the animated wearables in? I never notice or see them.











    No mouths work on Buzze, Flotsam, Hissi, Ixi, Krawk (only cringe), Ogrin,
    Mouths are barely noticeable on Bruce, Blumaroo, Kau, Kougra, Moegog, Vandagyre,

    Most expressions look great on Aishas, Chias (wish this worked on fruit&veg), Chomby, Jubjub, Kacheek, Kikos, Korbats, Lutari, Nimmo (LOLLL), Poogle, Quiggle (LOL), Ruki, Shoyru, Skeith, Tuskaninny, Wocky, Xweetok,
    All the eyes look good on Blumaroo, Buzze, Flotsam,

    There's a reddit thread about this, and Rico has confirmed in a ticket that this was the intended handling of this item.
