Deadlands Personality doesn't do anything?

I bought the last fragment of the personality today and combined with the pet to make the new collectable. There was a nice animation as I combined it, but when I selected to use it, it doesn't seem to do anything. It changed my stance from looking straight ahead to looking down but that's about it.
Is it supposed to do anything else?

I think in another thread someone said the animations are all emotes.

It modifies /idle2 (the looking down pose), /idle3 (the looking up pose, featured in the datamined image for the Breton Hero personality, as this was formerly known), the /approval emote, and the /doom emote.

The idles do not have any fire effects, despite the name. It’s the /doom emote that creates a mini-morpholith and gives your character fiery eyes for a few seconds.

Thanks for the heads-up on this.

I bought the thing to make it (seriously, at this point I can’t remember what all of these things are called) but I’ll hold off and use my morpholith for the hippogriff mount instead.

If I have extras at the end of all the events then I can still get it.

it changes your jump (you look like spiderman) and your stance as well as your idles and doom

but shouldn't the doom emote be implemented in the personality and start automatically? Like the npc's at the impressarias tent do?
for me that was the most interesting reason to get this...now i am bit disappointed.

i mean the happy-Personality also starts automatically to whistle after a while even this is another emote.

The /doom emote should have been the default passive animation. I skipped the skin, but saw the NPC at the Impressario doing the /doom emote thinking it was the default idle animation, and got this for my MagDK to be all fiery. Wish I saved the tickets for the Midsummer Mayhem Motifs.

It's because this is actually an old personality based on the Breton Hero of the cinematic trailer. It had been datamined. I like it, but what bugs me about the whole thing is that instead of having an actual firewalker-themed personality as an event reward, they instead used an old asset. This reward takes a long time to get, and they had all this time to design something new. If they had just added the /doom emote animations to the personality's idle animations it would have been great, not to mention, it would have looked as advertized, which is not the case now. And they could have used the Breton Hero personality as a new reward for a future Breton-themed DLC. I still hope they might listen and rework the firewalker, but I'm not hoding my breath.
