More emotes
Might be difficult to manage hug and kiss animations with all the different character heights and shapes in the game.
For example, one of the main complaints from fans of EAGames’ Sims franchise is that the Sims are all the same height. But this is necessary to make sure each character’s animations align properly with the other’s when they interact. I remember in Sims 2 (never played Sims 3 so can’t speak for that) there was a cheat to make Sims taller/ shorter. I used it to make men taller than women. It worked fine for most of the game, but when they kissed, the guy would kiss the girl’s forehead and the girl would kiss his neck, or the air under his chin. If they were the same height, they would have been lip to lip. The animations can’t handle differing heights.
Now imagine how much worse that would be when one of you is an Asura and the other is a Norn.
Sounds good, romantic gestures are always enjoyable for relaxing in a game.
I would also add some other relaxed emotes such as fishing and reading.
I think more emotes would be cool. I think that joint emotes such as lip kisses would be pretty much impossible, but an air kiss would be workable.
Not to mention some of the other emotes that are “missing” from GW2 (in that they don’t trigger an “unknown command” response but there is no emote attached). Full list of emotes on the GW1 wiki here: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Emote
I miss having this “essential” imo emotes. Sure wish they would impliment them.
How about Typing /sit to make the character sit in the nearest empty chair. If there is no free chair around, then the character will sit on the floor.
It’s kind of nerving how everyone in the game is standing on his feet all the time. I get tired just by looking at them. Having some npcs sit on chairs or benches in the cities while talking will make them feel much more relaxing and the world much more real! Also it would be nice for players for roleplaying.
The race high problem can be dealt with by designing all chairs and benches to be on the same hight, and then have each race sit on a default hight.
u could always have humerous ones, /puke for example
or perhaps situational ones /burp at places with lots of beer
if you then reach the drunk state with 4 players another way of expression/interacting gets unabled and you are able to burp the gw2 themesong.
or you can all sit on a bench—new interaction gets unabled if 3 sit next to each other :you can do a wave
or if 5 members dance on a party they can do "the train "

haha, get a group of people in water and do /synchronisedswimming
how about /rave
pretty much dancing…but better
situational-perhaps for a new chapter of zojja’s homeparty
with awesomo robots
i think we have established that we likethe more emotes idea lol
Sure do,they could add more and also take it to another level of interaction between players
like /slap or /punch or /kick
@Schizandra
By /kiss or /hug I ment something simple, like blowing a kiss, not actual kiss.
Hug hm, that I don’t know how it would look like, but it would still be nice to at least see “Person1 hugs person2.” in chat
More emotes!
Just being able to sit properly would be great (Am I the only getting sad just by looking at my screenshot? xD). But let’s get real, they don’t have the time to deal with this, and I guess it’ll take them at least a year to seriously try to figure out how to deal with the races different heights. They have loads of higher priority for the time being.
I never played GW1, but my friend did, and he told me about all the emotes they had on it. There are a ton more than there are on GW2. On GW2, if you type in / and then something random, it’ll come up with the “unknown command” message. If you do / and emote from GW1, nothing will happen, not even the unknown message. This means the emotes are some how in the system, but not “active”. They should throw these ones back in!
Experiment with them, yourself. This is the list of emotes from GW1:

More emotes would be..AWESOME!
