In terms of improving the experience for Roleplayers, I’d highly suggest that you enable us to sit properly at chairs/benches. Something simular to how one can right-click a seat in World of Warcraft and thus automatically get seated properly, rather than how I, as a human female for example, sit very awkwardly if I am to attempt sit on a chair as she sits with her legs stretched sideways.
This can prove to be quite annoying when it comes to IC interactions.
Aye, I was very surprised at the severe lack of seating in this game anyway, coupled with the fact that you have to manually sit on chairs, and many /sits don’t suit sitting on a chair at all. WoW’s system is good because your chair sit suits being on a chair, and your /sit suits sitting on the floor.
Can do nothing but agree. The few objects that are of a proper size to sit on still have massive issues with clipping and… there’s some interesting floating issue, as well.
Just check the attachment.
Prior to the image was taken as I performed a /sit whilst standing atop a Norn chair. Took a while of fiddling, but eventually my character sat down.
Shortly afterwards, I began to float when I unequipped a piece of armour. It seems the whole collision programming is a tad off… even if we get no objects to actually interact with, like several other MMO’s have, these funny clipping errors alone should be enough to at least have someone look into this stuff.
If they can’t make it so we can use chairs to sit, at least give an alternate sit animation that will make the character ‘sit in the air’ and use the butt bottom kitten as the base for the model instead the feet, so it’ll sit where their feet were.
/sitchair or /sitair or /sit2 or something.
We’ll have to orient the character, but once properly oriented, it’ll look right.

I would start just with the chairs you could actually use, before going for additional animations etc. The only place you can live with sitting are the chairs in Black Citadel, which are big enough for humans even to lie down (not to mention Asura)
balticdragon:
For sure the method straightforward is to make a chair, box, bench, rock, etc a special object which is able to be seated in. That’d be more likely kind of “Interact” key. This has something to do with the dimensions and shape of different objects I guess. And the player needs to sit right on the edge of the object so that their hips are inside the chair whereas their feet are hanging outside.
Another sit-around is to offer different “sitting” emotes that show different sitting postures, so that we could choose the one best suits the object we want to sit on/in.
