Hey everyone,
I'm just curious about what people think the most popular monthly packs are. I know Pyre fox has to be up there and a lot of 2020. My actual favorite is November 2020- December 2020 with the radiant grove. 2020 just had some stellar sets. so yeah just a discussion let me know what some of your favorites are.

My personal favorite would have to be a close heat between May 2021 September 2018 and the more recent June 2022. All three of these packs have a lot in common in terms of how strongly tied together they are as a theme, and how much I personally feel they add to the over all world build.
While May 2021's costume is not my favorite of the three it has my favorite mount and house conception. It does a really good job of showing Intrepid is willing to go really far out there while still staying perfectly consistent with it's world build. I hope they continue to keep things interesting and push the limits while still respecting their own style guidelines.
I think the strongest of the packs would have to hands down be the June 2022 pack however. The stylistic designs in that pack have so many wild shapes to them and each item is gorgeous. It really adds a lot of possibilities for other similar cosmetics in game while showing off the polish in IS's visual design over the years. Overall it's a really strong pack, every item is good and adds to the possible cosmetics and designs in the world without feeling out of place.
September 2018's is pretty nice and has a strong player costume, but a lot of it feels like generic world assets. In a way that's exactly how it should be and so from 'the point of the pack' September 2018's pack does a lot for me in terms of good tasteful staples that I expect to see a lot in game. It doesn't always have to be something novel to be something nice and there is a lot of nice things in this pack in particular. I still prefer June 2022 over it in terms of creativity, but like that pack, every item in it is good and well designed.

September 2021 I think would get a lot of traction too, if people felt it was unlikely to appear similarly, but it seems more like the sort of thing where the ingame version will be just as good/attainable.
For costumes themselves I don't think I have any standout favorites, and I don't care about the pets or mounts as much so I guess I'd choose by BOAT...
In which case Oct '21 and Jan '22 win. I also like Jan '21 but I push that out of my mind since I didn't invest before that and can't get that exact one.
My favorite is November - December 2020 also. The autumn dragon is right up my alley. For most popular I vaguely remember September- October 2021 being talked about as being popular. Costume wise I agree with @Azherae that they don't appeal to me. The main complaint is that they are full-body, the artwork is stunning though. I love seeing things each month.
Edgy to the max.
With packs it's hard to say. I wasn't really a fan of the older packs (except the canopy one) There's so many great individual cosmetics. I love the glitterling pet and the prismatic ice breaker is just so swag with the aurora effect in its wake through the water and these are both from January this year
Likewise I love these from December 2021 the revered arboralis skin would make a gorgeous and welcome sight of home as it comes into view with the soft light.
And the twilight courser is awesome because its a sparkling celestial horse. What more do you need?.
The overall pack I love the most though is more recent, this one from march 2022. I love the enchanted forest vibe the whole set is giving off. Plus it has the little potato fella.
Anything involving dwarves.
Only found out about ashes 1 month after this released. Missed it by days.
That one was definitely a favorite of mine.
Edit: found it

The mount for that pack was also gorgeous. I've seen mandarin ducks irl and Intrepid really nailed the aesthetic for that really well. I almost regret not buying it. But then they didn't clarify their cosmetic policy on freeholds and gear requirements for costumes so.... Kind of glad I didn't give them more money than I already have.

That cute duck is a close second now though.
