If this is just emotes, it's gonna be the first pack I don't buy twice.

I don't think it will be bad, and I will buy it (even if just to help the game), I am just not as excited as I have been about other packs. I felt the same way about the wedding pack.

Interesting... so, new Nightlife/Dance/Sport emotes, called a Party Pack, we can assume this is what they meant by Boosters.
That still leaves the issue of the boosters being announced. Call me a stickler, but boosters means more than one.
As for if I buy it or not?
Of course I'll buy it.
It's got -emotes-.
what's taking them so long to load the page !!! :P
i want new costumes! i hope theres more and nto just the emotes... considering we cant use them while in "action" I would love to fly in the new poses using the villain and hero stances.

Oh the casual wear would be nice. Maybe a lampshade hat? |

eh, dancing really is an aesthetic/rp thing. compared to many mmos, we have more than one at least. And besides, we have paid for dances before, remember the robot? that was from the cyborg pack.|

EDIT: just watched the trailer, hmm so far, just emotes, no mention of costumes...will have to wait for the announce, i notice the price is slightly lower. but not much.
Wh?
DANCE EMOTES?
God no.
EDIT: Just watched the video. No, just NO. NO NO NO.

I'll buy it. If it comes with some casual wear costume bits.
I'll probably buy it anyway. My toon Ragnarocker can finally do some air guitar. But come on already - give us an Axe guitar model. Thanks!

This is not the " Nightlife Party Pack" i wanted...Hello
and yes I'll pass making the first pack that i havent bought!
...Just dance emotes?
...Well, I mean, that's fine, a lot of work goes into them and all...
There had just better be enough of them to justify the cost.
Yup, looks like I was wrong, no casual wear. This one is pretty sad 
Well, we can hope something really good is in the works...
I will still buy it, I have wanted new dance emotes for a while. Just looking at the massively requested items (beast parts, holsters/scabbards, and back packs) this just surprises me. This really should have been part of GR.

Did I see a pool cue in there?

We have been needing new dance emotes... but wasn't this advertised as part of GR or an issue or something, or am I misremembering?|

After seeing the video, what I feel the pack really needs if it's going to be about sport, partying and nightlife is the following:
Costumes:
Basketball/Soccer/Baseball Outfits
Some nice Formal-Casual wear for PD/S55
Base Items:
Soccer Net
Basketball Hoops
Jukebox
Hi-fi System
DJ Deck
Weapon Customization:
Baseball Bat (Can't recall if we have it in War Mace)
Pool Cue (For Katana/Broadsword)
Emotes:
Baseball throw.
Of course, we know we'll never get base items, ever.
I'll buy the pack as is, but £4.99?
£3.99 seems a little more reasonable for what looks like:
3 Dance Emotes (Michael Jackson Dance, Lame Karate Dance and something that looks a little Napoleon Dynamite)
1 Air Guitar Emote
3 Sport Emotes (Basketball, Football, Pool Cue.)

If I understood the post correctly, that is. Tiring work day. Edited it to make things a little clear just in case and add some stuff.

4 Dances (possibly more depending on if the Disco and Jackson moves cycle through or they're separate emotes)
4 sport things (same with the basketball and soccer tricks)
2 others
Whether or not that's worth $7.99 is another matter.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
Well this looks like an eminently skippable pack. Stilted, ugly emotes? More terrible dances? No thanks.
