Title: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF? Post by: UnSub on August 31, 2010, 10:14:30 PM Seriously, $8 for a dance and sports emote pack. (http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/news_archive/new_in-game_pack_-_get_ready_t.html)
This really shows you the state of CoH/V's revenue stream - this should have been free. They are emotes, for crying out loud. Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF? Post by: Trippy on August 31, 2010, 10:45:09 PM I see it as the same as the Wedding Pack -- i.e. something for the RPers with no gameplay benefits.
Nothing wrong with that. Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF? Post by: ezrast on August 31, 2010, 10:57:37 PM This really shows you the state of CoH/V's revenue stream No it doesn't. Blizzard does pretty much the same thing.Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF? Post by: Lantyssa on September 01, 2010, 06:26:56 AM Star. Pony.
$8 for a cosmetic item is fine with me. Maybe a little less, but I'm okay with it as I'll never buy it and there is no game-play incentive to want to do so. Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack?

They have a wedding pack? That's sort of adorable! But also sort of weird. In an adorable way! Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF? Post by: UnSub on September 01, 2010, 06:27:02 PM The wedding pack contained several unique costume pieces (including a flowing headpiece for female characters) and emotes for $15.
This is 8 emotes for $8. CoH/V's booster packs have been shrinking in content for a bit now, but this is a pretty blatant cash grab. As someone who has bought every booster pack bar the most recent mutant one, this is by far the worst value offer I've seen CoH/V put out. Title: Re: $7.99 for a dance emote pack? WTF?
