So, this pack is nothing but emotes?

The City of Heroes Party Pack will go on sale in the NCsoft store.... on Tuesday, September 14th
Last I checked it's still August until the end of today, so how exactly is it "this month" when it won't be for sale until middle of September?

Looks great though. One of my characters has a background as basketball player (before she got her powers and had her dreams of a pro-career crushed when she got kicked from the league for having an unfair advantage) so the basketball thing will be perfect for her.

Seems so.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Looks like. The dance emotes tested in GRB plus the sports emotes you can see around Praetoria plus some others.


Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Haven't seen the video yet, but I'm fairly certain this will be the first booster pack I pass on. Unless there are some unannounced costume bits or selectable run/fly poses, I just don't see myself spending $8 on this.

That said, I do appreciate Paragon Studios giving us something a little different, it's just not something I necessarily want.

A pack of nothing but emotes? Not even costumes?

I'm sorry devs, but.....

EPIC FAIL!


(maybe if it was $4.99 it might be decent, but over half a month's subscription for emotes? Come on devs....we KNOW you can do better than this!!!)

Where did you get those ZM?

I am disappointed. There massively requested items that seem to be overlooked constantly, things like Jet packs, holsters/scabbards, beast parts, pool customization, and the list goes on.

Yes we have wanted new dance emotes for a while (I have even posted on it), it just does not seem booster worthy.

I will still buy it, to support the game, but I think you guys could have done better on this one.

This is something that I am not interested in, but I know there are others out there who ARE. Nice to see they are working on other things for us. The video while short does show off some pretty nice animations.

It'll be interesting to see what they have planned next.

Wait a minute didn't someone ask why we couldn't have the new emotes in Praetoria, and no one answered? :P

THIS is why we're not giving them to you, we're selling them to you! Muahahha

I almost wouldn't buy this based on inital intell of it being emotes only. Almost. >.> However I support this game in any way I can, so to help expediate more content, I will probably purchase it if only to hurry along production of neat things o.@

(Don't get me wrong I'm sure it took "x" awhile to make these and I respect that this just seems a bit like you're trying to sell me floor mats with my new car :P)

Yeah.... I'm not saying I won't get it, but if it's just emotes (and just the eight listed by ZM), well, that's a buck an emote. Not really worth it to me. I mean, at least with the other boosters, we got costume pieces and/or powers.

Of course, if they include a 'full helmet' costume piece of "Brain in a jar", I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

If only it had a "fake soccer injury" emote that phased your character for 10 seconds or "illegal mike vick dog fighting ring" -100k inf debuff...

I'm curious to know how well this will sell. Not worth it to me for emotes only - if there were even one costume set, I would probably buy it. But I imagine there are some folks who'll love it. I'm just curious about the proportion.

Just because they're releasing an emotes pack does not mean they're not also working on more costume packs. I think we have every reason to believe they ARE working on more costume packs - this probably didn't even take time away from costume pieces, since I'm pretty sure animation and art are separate teams.

TY, you should have told them then this wasn't the best idea.

I love this game, and I really like the Devs. Part of liking some one, and loving something is the willingness to point out wrongs.

There needs to be more in this pack. As many have said, even one new costume would be enough to push it to the "buy" point, and not the "pass" point.

I recognize, and agree. We are long standing players though.
