Reading the update on the dev forum, was really expecting something nice.
All the /dancenew for male, female, paragon and ranger are very very nearly identical.
CE Signature Dances

Diablo???
I love the new dance.

Meh. :x

The dance is nice.... for one character. But all 4 having essentially the same dance with a different start and a few small differences in between? Waste of CE money.
Reminder for next time, if you don't really care about the physical content of the CE, don't buy it until you see what it really has to offer.

This is a bad news for CE buyers....once again the loyal supporting fans/players gets screwed.

It's more like /electricute more than /dancenew
It really is a letdown. I'm extremely happy with the physical contents of the CE, to be fair, but the in-game bonus (other than the pet) was what I was most hoping for to be great. Kind of a shame there.

Have they changed the paragon dance from the preview event then? They were a male Michael Jackson and a Josephine Baker style dance for the female.
Haven't got mine yet, so haven't seen the new dances.

Atleast put some cool aura on the whole body while were dancing. Like a cool blueish glowing shadow effect for Dervish and golden for Paragon.
It could of been worse but I agree that the dev forums got me hyped up for somthing brand new and really cool but it was just kind of like the Varesh mini pet. Meh.

So meaning to say that the ingame content of the CE from Factions was better then Nightfall then? GG.
BTW "Making of Nightfall DvD" isnt that great when it becomes the "Making of this crap DvD" reminder. At least it puts a name and face to those responsible. Does the person who made the patch last night's face and name appear on the DvD anyone?

Well, I'm going to cancel my CE. Not worth the extra money.

On the plus side, Divine Aura did get implemented on the Nightfall characters.

Quite a let down? This is hell of a let down!
At first I thought I was doing the normal dances, but then when I tried /dance I noticed they were different. But wow, just wow. They're pretty aweful.
Shame.

I agree, very much a letdown. I was very excited to see what the surprise would be, and my face went 
when I saw that it's basically their regular dance, varied a bit.

Thanks for the heads up. Was planning on getting two CE's, now two SE's. It's all about the flare, and it seems they came up too short on this one.
Saraphim
Ah ok.. yeh that is pretty sucky then.
Maybe a bug? After all a lot of my ele's skills are still getting bugged on casting since the preview event - sounds not activating, missing particle fx (not always repeatable).

Hell of a let down here, Always had the regular editions, but scraped the cash together for the CE this time round, and we end up with a reglaur dance that resembles a bad electrocution. Nice work Anet, wont be wasting my cash again
The Monk of Illusion
I can't seem to get mine to work. I've tried /dancenew but still nothing. Any ideas?
minimoose fan
It took me a while to notice it but you do get a siognature dance. I've only made a male paragon so far and it works liek this.
/dance you do the normal dance
/dancenew you do a different dance wiht different moves
You can try it for yourself by holding z and watching, but yea no cool effects

The female Dervish Signature Dance is hilarious :P
The Monk of Illusion
Oh wow.. I only bought CE because I was expecting a cool signature dance.. Anyway thanks for your replies 
raven214
Decided to go for the CE for the first time with this one... sadly, a slighty varied "dance on speed" is not nearly as distinct or "signature" as the divine aura or the backup dancers. Left me a little
And the minipet looks like a little female mesmer.. meh
Hopefully the game itself will be more interesting.

.. this being my third CE, can't help but feel a little dissapointed, as do the rest of my guildmates who have had a chance to sample it.
There's no denying it's interesting, but it's certainly something I wouldn't have invested money on, had I known about it from the start, even moreso when it stretches across all four characters (male/female paragon/dervish) with very little--if any--variation.
Sad.

The dance is fairly boring but the rest of the content is amazing! Are you honestly shelling out the extra cash just for the dance? Wow.

I have bought my CE but have not yet opened it yet and i am sad to hear they did not add anything noticeable to the dance emotes that they might have attended to. I am hoping Anet may do something and hopefully put a bit of a kick into the dance moves .

Navaros
Lots of people including myself made threads & posts just like this one about how disappointing the Divine Aura was. Yet Anet never did anything to make Divine Aura better. If they make the dances better they should make Divine Aura better too.
In any case after the Divine Aura letdown that was the last CE I'll be buying. Sorry that others also have to find out the hard way not to buy CE's. At least it's only 20 bucks more this time instead of ~50 bucks more (depending on your country) like it was for the original Guild Wars CE.

Wtf Its A Monk
im dissipointed with the dance yes...but i got the CE so i could sell the mini pet and get the artbook so im still happy with it overall....
floppinghog
their awfully NOT a signature i would remember watching.... a bunch of spaz attacks on all of the characters.... male and female are so lame.
and no effects whats up with that? no one expected factions backup dancers only for assassin and rit to kick the shit out of paragon and dervish and BOTH SEXES mind u.... damn. gg.
(im gettin ce shipped this morning - boy am i disappointed)

I saw it its pretty funny.:P

Can someone post a video?
*Alexiel*
Omg...This is the first CE i've bought, I haven't even got it yet (didnt come ontime) but I was expecting something a bit special =(
I liked the Previous Special dances and from what I've read the CE nightfall dance seems no better than the normal one. I'm not really too bothered about the Varesh pet...so In-game wise...Waste of money, then.
Shame..Most people seem to have an issue with it maybe they'd alter it in someway make it more unique?
Then again, probably not...

I am VERY disappointed ! There is nothing signature about it.... soooo lame! ANET i hope you really read the forums like you say you do on that DVD that came with CE... Because this is a joke... A 20 dollar more joke... DONT BUY CE! NOT WORTH IT!
Where is my backup dancers! :X

I was hoping that one of the Devs (Gaile/Alex/anyone else who reads fan forums) could give the community some insight on the CE dances. I am reading so many topics about how people are angry that they even bought the CE(going a bit to far if you ask me). Some say the dance is broken, others say it just stinks, and some even like it. So, I guess the community would just like an explaination on the dances if at all possible. Thanks.
TiNkLeR
FFS, i ear ppl complain in-game and on other forums, theres already petitions.
Did Anet forgot to put the new dances correctly or what? Gaile ? Weekes?
Because... the /dancenew from nightfall, its not special, and its more ugly than the normal one.
I really want to know.. cuz i can cancel my CE today.

I'm rather disappointed too. The first time I saw the backup dancers i called my buddy & told him about it since we had both started playing & I finally found out what it was from a wiki.....I just started 2 months ago & I dind't know about the CE's or I would have found a CE for factions...this one just flat sucks. I preordered this game over a month in advance & really feel that they cheated us.
Ok, it did come with a decent amount of stuff in the box, but first of all, what's with the map? It sucks. It's more of a poster than a map, at least make it where you can navigate & find stuff with it, otherwise it's pointless unless you just use it as a poster to cover you wall.
The mini-pet is nothing spectacular, but I don't care so much about that as long as it's part of the story line, I can accept that. Albeit that I would like to see something cool like a flaming sword like the mini Rurik had...the new one could use a little flair, but what ever.....most people are in game way more than they are sitting there thumbing thru the artwork or watching the dvd....the dance is probably by far the one thing that MOST people expected to be something that set us apart from the casual players...we went above & beyond to spend more to set us apart from the others & I just don't think this delivered.
Elasto Plast
does the /dancenew work for any character as long as you have a nightfall key attached to your account? or does it work for only new characters created in nightfall?
Elasto Plast
oh and can anyone post a screen of the special dance?
