This game needs more emotes!

If I’m going to stand around in Stormwind, trying to be chill, I want a /lean emote that lets me lean against lamp posts, trees and buildings!

What emotes would you like to see in game?

I agree, and I wanted to put all the playemotes accessible to players in case people don’t already know them all! (Some are secret/unexpected) Anything can be typed with /e or /emote but most don’t have an associated animation.

/emote leans against a lampost = Thallia leans against a lampost.

Make a few macros and have a social bar to use :slight_smile:

Devs don’t believe in addition, only subtraction.

Well they removed them all so.

In before “We need a /Waggle emote.”

I don’t even really think those can be classified as emotes when they don’t even do anything. RPers do a better job just typing things out than those will.

They mean animated emotes and I agree! Also new dances. Would love either

They know both addition and subtraction. They know how to add meaningless time-sinks to subtract fun from players.

Lol.


On-topic, custom emotes cover this, this is completely unneeded. Rigging up a completely pointless animation for the dozen or so player rigs they have sounds like the biggest waste of dev resources I’ve heard of in a while. This idea is terrible.

Something like that would be cool if your character just did it when left idle for some time, and were close to a wall or whatever. They should just have way better idle animations in general actually. Like casually swinging their weapons, adjusting their belt, maybe flicking a little magic around on their hands. Just something to give them a bit more life and personality.

Probably will be once the game goes F2P (or game pass) after the merger. Premium content sounds like cash shop items for a F2P game like buying emotes in ESO.

Your opinion and I disagree. Text isn’t the same as my character actually doing something. Especially in RP.

Sorry you don’t like it, but I think it’s a great idea for roleplayers and others who enjoy such things that exist in other MMORPGs.

Learn some manners.

One of the few things that FF14 does that I love is they give you different sitting positions and idle positions for standing, and you can alter through them by using a command. I wish we could do something like that. You see humans around Boralus with this. They have such neat positions and movements. We never have anything like that.

Agreed! I’d love to stand like a guard, lean against a wall, sit with my face not in my lap like Nelf males do, etc.

An /airguitar emote. SWG had one.
