Bring back the Jester dance.

So as I'm doing the Risa dance contest to gain favors, I noticed in my pinned emote list for my most dancy character that I have (or will soon have) every dance emote except Jester.

A little research shows that this was an emote part of an old C-Store emote pack 2 that is no longer available. Any chance of bringing back that pack to c-Store or making the Jester dance available via some other means (such as the Shuffle dance which is on Ferengi Latinum vendor).

Please consider this....it is a more useful suggestion than some of the other ones I come up with (like adding turrets to power boards to take out any racers in front of you).

    i'll buy that​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    I have always wondered why they never added those dances back into the game. Or why they didnt remove them from the list at least. lol

    I believe they were removed when STO went F2P, but it is a stupid move for them to not continue selling them. After all, it is a frivolous microtransaction that F2Ps are known for.

    One day I'll take the time to unlock the fan dance. Never remember to go back to Nimbus and do it again.
    Now a LTS and loving it.

    No! I have it; and even though I never use it it would lessen me if you had it too! :D
    (Hey, that logic works for Cryptic and past event ships.) ;)

    I don't remember seeing anybody do an 'Air Guitar" in any of the Trek episodes.
    Maybe if Trek-2017 uses it in an episode we'll get it then.

    Hmm...patch notes for tomorrow went out and there was no mention of bringing back the jester dance....perhaps it was just an oversight.

    I would like to see alot of things come back. The dance emotes, pets, ships, consoles, apparel and whatever else we may have missed. The whole "exclusivity" argument really doesn't make much sense to me. I mean you have a ton of stuff down the road that is going to come out anyway. I really doubt anyone would want to snub new material for any of the old stuff that was due to an event.

    In fact, now that we have this new event where you can get the chance to obtain Shard of Possibilities, Ophidian Cane, etc etc. Why not do something like this every month where an event or episode that rewarded an obscure item would be made available again?

    It's not just for the new ones that get in this game after all this good stuff was given out but also for the ones with alts that would like to have these items as well.

    i'll buy that​​


    I'd buy that for a dollar......sorry, had to do it. But yeah, I am one of the players that got in just before LoR came out. I would like that opportunity to get some of those things that would be impossible to get now.

    BTW, Cyrptic, make holo-Leeta BOFF available in the c-store, please. Some of my friends were unable to get her at that time cause of a thing called life. They would actually pay real money for her.

    No, it's not even in the dance list. Jester is there, but grayed out if you didn't get it while it was in the store.

    See stuff like this seems to me as the idea sort of thing to drop in the dil store to soak up all that excess of dil. I mean just silly cosmetic stuff people will happily blow spare resources on.

    More uses for emotes would be cool too but I guess that's never gonna happen.
    Can we at least get a winter wonderland dance off?

    Bump! The AoY expansion is out, but still no Jester...but there is still time! Risa Summer is not over yet! Devs, bring back the Jester dance to store (or elsewhere in game)
  • nightharriernightharrier Member Posts: 21 Arc User
    Please, please, please Cryptic bring back all of the "M.I.A." Emote Packs... I wanna rock! *air guitar emote*

    Bump! Nope, I didnt forget about this.

    Cryptic, there are only 8-9 months left until summer event begin! You still have time to add back the Jester Dance before everyone returns to Risa! Hop to it!
