Skins and Taunts, How do I equip/use them? (PROBLEM SOLVED)

[Rootin']

I decided I was really enjoying SMITE and the devs were worth supporting, so I got the ultimate god pack, as well as enough of the premium currency to buy a skin and taunt for chaac, my favorite god. But how do I equip them?
I can't seem to do it from either the "gods" screen or the "god select" screen.

any help?

if you start a game then you can equip the skin and taunt for your god that you like

Skins are equiped once you choose that charecter at the charecter selection, taunts are able to be used by hitting V, E, T.

But it doesn't let me! Its still faded out, and no matter how much I click it, nothing happens. I've tried before locking my choice in, but that doesn't even let me see the skins screen.

Are you sure you actually purchased the additional skin for Chaac (using your gems)? It sounds like, for whatever reason, your account isn't recognizing that you own that skin.

Try exiting and re-starting the game; if that doesn't work, I recommend snding a Support request to Hi-Rez Studios.

hm... maybe tomorrow it'll register then. the game says I have bought it, as in it says "purchased" and it does not offer it to me for gems anymore...

Did you get a taunt or a voice pack?

For taunts, you don't equip them. You use the VGS system.

If you don't know what that is, try it out in Jungle Practice to see what it contains.
Basically, in a match, press V. This should bring up a menu to the left where the chat is. You can navigate this by pressing the buttons next to each option. For example, the combination VVGH will make your character say the "Hello" line, and do a wave animation (if you own the Wave emote, otherwise it is just the "Hello" line).

For emotes (which is what you bought), the VGS combination will be VX and then whatever Emote you want. VXW I think is wave, VXG is special emotes, VXD is dance etc. Try it out in practice mode and see if it lets you use the emtoe/taunt you bought.

I figured out how to do taunts, but thanks anyways.

however, I am still having a problem with the skin.
I pick chaac from the list
I lock in my choice
the game brings me to the skins screen
I can click on any skin on the first page and it offers to let me buy it
I switch to the next page, where the skin I already bought is,
clicking on any of those produces no effect.

Anyone know whats going on?

If you have actually purchsed the skin, it should be one of the first ones (next to the default skin), and not greyed out. Check you have bought it by going to the God screen at the main menu, and seeing if it says purchsed.

Alternatively, go to the store tab, then gods->skins (on the left side), then tick the "purchased" box on the left side. If your skin is in there then it should be available to you, if it isn't, then you haven't bought it (or it hasn't registered that you have).

If it is a skin you have definitely bought, but still not available, submit a ticket to HiRez support, as I don't think we can help you here, but hopefully they can.

aren't you trying to purchase a limited or exclusive skin? It may be Chest/Season/one time only.
And then there are mastery skins, where you need to level up your good before you can buy one. Bought skins are always first in line.

If you have skin with status "purchased" and still can't equip, contact Hirez Support. This is Steam forum and won't help you much to solve real bugs.

thanks. It must be a bug, but I thought I was just missing something. I'm going to contact support then.
