If they price them at $.99 - that is impulse territory. They will make BANK. People will spend without thinking.
Just take everything from Dark Souls!
I go back and forth between Forfeit and raid helmet. Can't decide which I like better.
they should copy all the emotes from Souls games. call it the "We tried to copy your storytelling technique but failed pack"

Oh ok this seems plausible.
Mostly switched to the Hakke Lyudmila but I also mix in Hawkmoon and Red Death. I'm hoping that The First Curse will become my new favorite because I'm still fairly gutted about the severe range nerf of TLW.
I get mine at reset this week. I hope I love it.
Good grief. This is awesome but also slightly insane.

At 99cents I am buying them all. Anything more and I'm only buying a few.
Two quick observations while I take a rest break from working on my deck (because when I'm not playing Destiny, I'm thinking about it).
Something has bugged me about the weapons and combat in TTK and I couldn't put my finger on it until this morning. The problems are two fold:
1) Bungie mixes factions together with the Taken a lot (which is good!), but that means we get a mix of shields as well, so I no longer know how to optimize my load outs for fights; it's no longer as simple as, Cabal? Okay, solar. So I usually just pick my highest damage output weapons and roll with it.
2) Even when I know what I'm facing (i.e. Taken Wizards, therefore void sniper), I'm not sure where the line is between impacting light level and optimizing for shield element. Right now I have one rocket launcher and one sniper that are 20-30 points ahead of the rest, so when I optimize for element, I go down a few light levels. That affects my defense and primary weapon damage, as well as the deduction in damage for the weapon I'm selecting. And I have no idea if the trade off is worth it. So, I just end up using the highest damage output weapons.
I could probably test and / or math each situation out, but it's very counter intuitive. Pre-2.0 all my gear was of a level, and I'd just toggle to the optimal build. Now I find myself ignoring most of my gear until it's fully infused, which is taking a very long time. And so there's less variety in the weapons I'm using right now.
I'm not sure what the solution is, but it's defiantly impacted my load outs.
Observation 2: I'm guessing we'll see Tess sell items for which we have a kiosk. The reason being, Bungie does not want purchase decisions to be gated by whether we can hold enough of an item or not, they just want us to buy and have a 'collection' to choose from at all times, never losing what we purchased when we're not carrying it. Thus kisoks for the cosmetic items: ships, shaders, emotes and emblems. Tess will probably sell all of those eventually. Probably noteworthy that class items are not included in that list as they now have perks. It has me optimistic that we will really only see those cosmetic items going forward.
2.0 set up micro transactions, we just didn't realize it.

Appropriate times to use the Carlton dance:
-You kill the whole enemy team in PvP.
-Your whole team dies in pvp and youre the only one alive
-When youre the only one who gets loot after a boss fight
-When your teammate dies next to you

I agree with $0.99. I'm sure it's tempting for them to go for more, but I know that at $2 I'll pick one that I love and stick to it. At $1 I'll see someone do something fun with an emote and go pick it up just because.

I hope they arent more expensive than $2 each... D:
There is also already kiosk for emotes, it's been in game since release of TTK. It's located in that bar, below deck where DO, FWC, Vanguard Quartermaster etc. are located.

It's not that for off considering how much they were charging for the collectors edition emotes right?
Looking at the CE for TTK, the emotes were the most appealing part of it. If you go by that pricing, $3-$5 makes more sense. I only see myself getting the free ones anyway, but that's my line of thinking.
I think you might be right.

Personally rule of thumb is try to carry something that isnt your subclasses element. Another rule of thumb is that void still isnt a popular enough shield that you should have to carry a void weapon.

Frankly I don't like planning in advance since I tend to do things whenever I feel like it. If I am around will help you guys out. I should be..

This wouldn't surprise me. I'm waiting for them to give people in the UK the shaft as well with a $1 = £1 conversion rate.

What do games like WoW and Dota 2 charge for cosmetic items? I'm guessing it will be in that ballpark.
They're not going to leave money on the table. At $0.99 that's exactly what they'd be doing. I bet they'll have sales and stuff at different times, but they know people will pay for this stuff.
They are definitely going to be more than $2.99. It's easier to price them higher and lower the price as necessary instead of pricing them super low and then raising the price. It's going to be $4.99 for one, and then some package deals like 3 for $10 or 4 for $15 or whatever.
Or all of them for $69.99 BEST VALUE!
Yep. Wouldn't make sense to sell stuff like Emblems and Shaders if you could lose them via deletion.
What could be a nice use of this functionality is they could do stuff like the Nepal Aid, by just letting you buy the emblem and shader in-game, instead of dealing with packaging and mailing out shirts and looking up emails and stuff, and they just forward the money from those towards the target charities.
You don't want to know.

$10 for "pets" which is like Pokemon
$15 for cosmetic helmets
$25 for mounts

If they are 5 bucks it will not go over well, especially if the dances are as shit as the CE ones.
I'm up for it

Dota 2 "treasure" is like $2.50. The treasure gives you a random chance at a few different cosmetic sets.
But Dota 2 also has the steam marketplace to buy individual items from. Some items end up being just a few cents. Some hundreds of dollars. We won't have that in Destiny.
That's my guess right there except I would guess 2 coins per emote.
E-Motes need to be comparably priced to the CE package and to standard DLC. A free e-mote or two seems like a nice gesture, but they still want to pay the live team.

$25 for a mount? Holy hell.
