I do find it rather annoying that there's no preview of any kind for the new costume items, especially when the names are so generic.
Does "Ghosts" mean my character exudes apparitions, or does it simply make my character look more spectral? What exactly does magnetism look like?

With this F2P stuff coming, and the possibility of buying items piecemeal... The ONE change I would desperately call for would be able to try items on in the CC that you don't have access to.
Throw up a warning, or even a "buy it now" option or something... But I want to be able to see this stuff before I buy it, I want to see how it mixes and matches! Heck, it just makes Icon that much more realistic! :P
Anyway, for some reason I thought this was an appropriate place to spout off about this. Nevermind..... *shuffles off*
There are previews for many of the new auras and the new costume set.

"upgrading" to the NCsoft Laucher early before I actually bought into it.
I thought it was going to have Will 'o Wisps (like from Croatoa) floating around you which would
have been the most awesomemazingwinfueledfreeeeemfully sweet thing evah for my character Chloe Macomber.
Needless to say I was very disappointed, had I known I wouldn't have bothered.
The ability to "try before you buy" would make a lot of sense in a F2P and buy-the-extras-you-want kind of setup.

Seeing as how you eventually would have had to switch the Launcher anyway, and it was very much worth it to do so anyway compared to the old clunky one, and the aura was free, I don't see how that really applies.|

They have confirmed that you'll be able to see parts buyable through Paragon Points in the creator before owning them, but there's been no mention of other unlockable parts.

In the last ustream, Matt "Positron" Miller said you would be able to preview all costume items in the costume/character creator. Items that need to be unlocked will have a lock graphic or somesuch on it so you'll know what the item looks like even if you don't have access to it.|

I'm not sure if that also applies to emotes.

bAH! People can't really expect me to know stuff that doesn't get talked about on this part of the forums! (But thanks for clueing me in!)

ok, I think the path aura's have some really cool potential... just a shame the frost didn't look as cool as I'd hope...

Did you see it live or just in the linked video? It's a whole different creature when it trails behind you.

I'll be honest, I was and still am hoping that this would/will look like a suitable "ice slide" manifestation (even if there is no slide emote to go along with it).
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Has anyone found anything like the linked vid for the costumes or emotes?

Well none of the trails leave a permanent trail, they all fade out. But as the frost is trailing behind, it continues to expand. Really neat effect.

Have photos the new auras?

If you scroll up the topic page from your post, Zombie Man posted a link to a YouTube video which shows all of the new auras and path auras.

Does anyone know of any screens of the costume pieces, emotes, and auras that are new with I20.5? I figured someone might've posted some on the 20.5 beta forum somewhere, but if there is, I can't find it.
