Discussion: Party Pack Now Available In The NCsoft Store!

Want to thank ncsoft for releasing this product , and releasing me of one of the two mmo games left

A sincer thank you , after 10 years of mmo there was only 2 products i supported no matter what happened , finally 1 left .
Just wish the other one would do something too , to irk me off .
Thank you very much and i mean it sincer .

Dont worry i see with the incarnate system the game going to be fun again .
So most of the angry post and rants on this topic wont hold.
I do see a postive outlook for CoX , just for me this product is not worth my time and support.
Especially since i hardly play it much anyway .
And CoX community is still the best ever , dissapointed that predicted negative feedback about this product or marketing greed has pushed the community so far.
While it could have simply being avoided .

Personally, I have used many of the wedding pack costume pieces, esp. the wedding tux. My leprechaun, Uncle Sam, Bride of Frankenstein, Jack Skellington, and quite a few other toons use pieces from this pack. I have never felt disappointed with its potential.

On the other hand, I see no reason to ever pay for a handful of emotes, though I may have done so anyway if the price was negligible. Eight bucks is not negligible in my budget.

Oh man, I've used the wedding pack in tons of costumes, and I have *no* wedding themed toons. Two notable costumes being

and

though I've used pieces here and there on many, many costumes.

I think the takeaway here is that people have different opinions on what justifies spending $6 or $8 or $10 of their own cash. I wasn't interested in the Cyborg pack at first, but bought it because I hate the idea of not having access to some of the game's content, regardless of how often I intend to use it. To my surprise I found great uses for a small number of the Cyborg pieces (though I will never ever use a majority of the pack, because I personally find most of it ugly). A huge number of people feel that the Party Pack isn't worth their $8.. and yet there were at least a significant number of people who felt it was. While I would hate to see the free content we're used to getting with each issue be shoved into additional specialized packs, I do also want to see Paragon Studios remain profitable so they can keep this game running far into the future. I'm sure it comes down to a balance between the two.

In the end if you don't like it, don't buy it. Suggestions are great, feedback and concern are a cornerstone of this community, but getting angry about it doesn't really solve anything. If you don't like what has been done in the game, if it's no longer fun, if you'd rather spend your money elsewhere, by all means entertain yourself in some other way! Just remember, that's what this is supposed to be: entertainment. If you get totally bent out of shape over it, you're taking it way, way too seriously. And getting angry over speculation about what may happen in the future and what direction the game may take or not take is just silly.

(Edit) And before anyone questions my dedication to this game, I absolutely love, love, love this game. It's the topic I talk about more than anything else to anyone who will listen, it is my entertainment of choice when (for whatever reason) I am not spending time with my Man, it is my motivation for exercising*. While I may not be as knowledgeable as others, or spend as much time in-game as others (not nearly as much time as I'd like), my adoration of this game cannot reasonably be doubted. It's not that I care less about this game than the people who are angry, I am just as passionate; the difference is that I look at it as a form of entertainment. Even when things don't go the way I want, I don't get angry about it, because there's still so much about the game I love. If that ever changes, I'll take my money elsewhere, but for now it's still my favorite game ever. (/edit)

*OLD, old setup, not my current furniture layout, but you get the idea

R U KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me see here. $8 bucks for 8 new e-motes. That's, um, 53 divided by 35, carry the 12, PI by 167, o never mind. i think that works out to about $1 per e-mote!! I have never seen this game go so petty and cheap before and I have 75 months in game. Horrible.

You should go back in and retroactively add some things for the people that did get ripped off by this thing before they realized the true lack of extent of the lack of interesting things in it. Add 3-4 new full costumes or something. Shoot, I have been sending in suggestions for arrow quivers, holsters, spears, some very modern SWAT type long guns, their "machine guns" and other types of weapons and other cool things. It's about time that you took some of those up.

Come on for all of our sakes. If you did just those things you'd sell a jillion of them and make the national debt in money back for you!!

To each their own opinion Captain-Electric. I will admit his post felt a little over the top but, he is welcome to have it as you are too. Besides which, if Paragon Studios were to follow his advice, they would easily improve their profits on this pack.

I happen to like all the extras that are thrown into the game, and for me, it makes my gameplay even more fun. I hope the devs keep brining them on. (I think it must take a LOT of time and hard work to make even one animation/emote.) People can either buy them or not...I like having the option!

I think my biggest problem with the Wedding Pack is that I just can't find any costume pieces that I want to keep on a toon. Many times I have put them on a toon in the Tailor Shop, only to change it out because they just don't feel right.

sort of on-topic, I sold a copy of the Mutant pack to a teammate last night because he loved the Organic Armor boots my fire blaster was sporting so much he had to have them for his earth controller.

For me it is the Bio boots, the ones that look kinda like skin with veins bulging out and can be duo colored to really make them POP out at you. I love those boots. It used to be I would try to find a way to fit them into at least one costume on every toon. I have since cut back on that, but I still love that costume piece. I just wish they would come out with that design on a cape.

I heard a rumor that to help promote sales there is going to be a new CoX contest -- and that FIRST PRIZE was going to be a free Party Pack!!!

(Second prize is TWO free Party Packs, and third prize will be THREE free Party Packs.)

Has anyone else heard about this?

Or is this the kind of post that people normally call "trolling"?
