They are not origin restricted. They are simply "origin inspired". And some of them are really, really good (YMMV).

I'll pass. |

Like any capes or auras purchased with other packs, you can choose them at character creation. That alone almost makes it worthwhile to me.

They are nice, but after playing around on them im a little bummed out that they dont work on my Nightwidow. Im hoping this is a bug, cause shes my main so not having access to them is really cramping my happiness about buying the pack lol.
Can I get a comment on if this is being looked at??

Psynder, are they not working on any costume for you, or just the default/slot1 costume?
Cannot buy EU version - message is
We're sorry, but we are unable to accept your order at this time. Please try again later or tomorrow. If you continue to have problems, you may wish to visit one of our retail partners.
I remember a day when they used to just add stuff to the game and you didn't have to buy a pack just to get it. When you add up all the packs that you need just to have everything in the game now it starts to get pretty expensive. I'm not coming down on NCSoft for releasing one of these things every once in a while and for the purchase maybe get some costumes and emotes and a bonus power. At least that was what you got with the origin packs. But lately it's just a few emotes here a few costumes parts here. When it starts to get ticcy tac like that then you know NCSoft is just fishing for bucks.
I'm not going to put NCSoft in the same league as Blizzard, but that company's lame attempts to get cash every which way under the sun is one of the reasons I left for here.

Same message showing up on the US side. Took 2 tries to get it on first account. Up to 3 tries on 2nd account, still failing.

i just set Noscript to allow all for the transaction page and it worked fine. While you can disable Noscript globally it's generally not recommended.

Too each their own. I stated back when the Party Pack was announced that i'd never be interested in it as it appeared at the time and still stand by that. I also said I knew many others who would be interested as they were into emotes and had characters those would work for. |

Like I said, whatever rocks your boat, i'm not going to bash someone for wasting money on a game as i've already sunk enough into this one myself!
Quote:
Yeah, you can't add anything that doesn't "belong" to the widow set in the uniform slot. I wasn't aware you could use *any* auras with slot 1, that's probably a bug.

Got it on the second try (first time ever having anything resembling an issue with the NCStore) - will fiddle with it more later but pleased
Over 80 tries now... and still nothing. I think an upgrade to the purchase system is in order.. please...

Lucky for us they're not making us buy them all at once. Ten bucks every few months isn't that big a deal, especially when it's optional.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

My grip is that the color for the aura is only one color. The previous baked-in auras had more luminosity to their glow effects (say you chose "gaseous" vs "cryogenic", gaseous seems to have a brighter "white" to it on the higher colors than the newer ones do).
I'd love it if you could give auras a two-tone aspect, like how you can change the colors of the animations for Demon Summoning. Something for the Suggestions board, I suppose.

The Tarot aura could really use a glow around the cards themselves, maybe along the pattern on the cards, and a secondary color of our choice.
Hey do these capes also translate over to the OVER THE SHOULDER capes? I really hope so!
Still Not Able To Buy It, Still Getting The Error Message grrrrrr, After Many Many trys
