Suggestion: Besides there being a lack and variety of emotes, it would be nice to just click on a character to direct an emote to, instead of having to write: /cheer @Azulia.
Typing it is a pain, when in many other games you just have to click the character.
Typing on the fly to direct an emote? Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!
New emote suggestions:
calm
challenge
kiss
cheer
flirt
chuckle
clap
confused
congratulate
cough
cower
crazy
drool
drink
cry
curtsey
roar
rude
smoke
point
facepalm
smackhead
sigh
slap
followme
agree
angry
bow
bye
grumble
faint
stare
tickle
wink
pat
I just wanted to point out that if you type an emote that we had in GW1 even though it is not yet in GW2 you will not get the unknown command message so I am sure we will get them at some point when they have been animated.
That being said more emotes is ofcourse a good thing.
And I agree about the directing part. I’ve seen some complicated character names, and I just don’t have the energy or time to type them out when I’m in the midst of a battle (especially for us RPers). I would love a “type emote” + “click character” option.
I would like to see interactive emotes. Much like you type say…. /dance * to sync emotes
Perhaps doing /dance @ * with a person doing the same thing while targeting you, it would be a new interactive emote. I’m not saying this so much with just /dance
But anything really. So it actually feels like your toons can emote interact with each other.
Say threatening at the same time while using @ and sync has the two bicker and quarrel.
Or dancing can add just a new step To the dance in which two or more people can join in
Etc
I’m sure I worded this all weird. Just a suggestion. I’m sure something like this would take a lot of time if considered but just throwing it out there.
I agree.
Additionally it would be great if we could customise the emotes.
e.g.
a) for </wave @>
we could type
</wave waves goodbye to @>
Which would do the character animation of the wave along with our emote text. So, for Sue waving to Bill
‘’Sue waves goodbye to Bill’’
b) Would be great if ‘@’ worked for anything that we targeted and would work in emote/text speech in general.
For instance so if I typed <Hello @> it would output my target character’s name.
Also, if I pointed at an object and typed </point @> it would point with the animation and use the objects name. ‘’Sue points at boulder’’ for example.

Yes! I have asked for this repeatedly!
Let me hug my friends. Let them have an option to reject hugs globally, only accept them from friends or only accept them from specific chars.
Let me walk hand-in-hand with someone. Let me giggle with a girlfriend and we both fall to the ground together. Let me tackle someone! Let me be tackled! Let me toast someone and we clink glasses! The possibilities are boundless! The enhancement to RP is phenomenal.

Custom Emotes are already in the game…..if my memory serves correct you type /me followed by the action you want to emote.
The folks complaining about long player names during emotes, you know you can just target somebody and do "/emote @" without the player name it will automatically emote your target right?
I would love if there was a racial emote for Charr concerning “meat”. After i entered Diessa Plateau for the first time and experienced the “Meatoberfest” I have wanted an emote that makes my charr say “MORE MEAT!!” like some of the npc’s there does.
Also i think it’s a bit of a shame that the only currently existing emote that can make my Charr growl is “/threaten” since it could easily be misunderstood, but it’s still the emote I use the most since i really want my Charr to growl a LOT
NO RUNNING IN THE HALLS!! They’re quite slick with gore…
Personally, I would like to see little speech bubbles with artistic emotes on them.
Similar to how Signets express a little bubble over your character, these would express a little emote over your character.
That way, they would be useful in combat when players don’t have voice-chat.
Things like #4, #5, and #14 in my attachment could be equated to “Help”, “Attack!”, and “RUN!”
Of course, they would need to be labeled properly to establish universal meaning, and have cooldowns (like 5s) to avoid spam.
