Yes, I was mightily displeased that, while you can buy the emotes (and auras) from the A/E Merit vendors in Ouroboros, there's no way to preview what you're buying. Especially since the official announcement page says, basically, "here are one or two... of many more!"

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!
If I became a red name, I would be all "and what would you mere mortals like to entertain me with today, mu hu ha ha ha!" ~Arcanaville
I was very suprised and dissatisfied with not being able to preview the emotes OR the costume pieces before the 'purchase' of them.
Before anyone decides to say "well a vet knows they can go to the test server and basically buy them all there without cost to the real character"....
First.. that is what I had done so I knew what was being purchased by myself.
However,
People must remember that *IF* Paragon wants to attract new customers and convert them to VIP, then they must be able to think ahead and a 'preview' of anything that is purchasable 'must' be built into the store itself.
If we are using anything remotely close to the store in terms of functionality and looks now... then they have a very long way to go.
Previews are a must in anything purchasable!

I have to agree that a preview of all of these things should be available at the vendor. I'm a seven year vet and it never even occurred to me to check the test server...

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Here is the Ultimate power emote. Geting my merits worth out of this one.
But the best part of this emote?

I had to resize Ultimte Power because otherwise I'd never get the gif file size under 4MB.

Any chance on seeing the CC Emotes?

Any chance on getting Leandro to narrate them? <big sigh>

Very nicely done, Leandro.
The swoon and collapse one are still kinda mixed up - in RL, you usually seem to fall backwards when you faint, and fall forwards when you collapse

Both of them depend on which way you are leaning when you lose control. If you are leaning forward in a swoon or are collapsing, you will fall forward; if you are leaning backward, you will fall backward. It doesn't matter whether you are swooning or collapsing. The idea you are suggesting is verging on dumb.|

I have personally fainted twice in the last couple years (multiple times as a youth), and neither time did I fall at all! I was already horizontal. So obviously I didn't actually faint at all, as there was no backward movement! *snerk*

although you have a point people do fall forwards as well when they faint, you are far more likely to fall on your back because of how your knees naturally collapse.

I don't think it's based enough on the real world for the direction people collapse in to be an issue of even moderate concern.

I know Mantid quit, but is there a site like it with the purchaseable new ones? Like many I wanna see them in action before I "buy" them. Thanks all.
