Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, not the top 1 priority but i noticed that some of the “classic” emotes are missing in the game at the moment, so here’s a thread where you can ask for them :

/kiss
/clap or /applause
/whisle
/lie (on the floor without sleeping)
/taunt

From gw1 :
/guitar
/drums
/violin

Some don’t necessarily need animations though :
/fart
/wink

etc, feel free to feed !

/excited :: How are we supposed to weird people out when we encircle them at random? I mean /dance works okay but the GW1 /excited was perfect!

/hug then we can hug all the quaggans

/shove to use only on Quaggans.
/grin

/facepalm

/point
/dance (without those annoying noises. Perhaps even with good looking dance animations, if that’s not too much to ask. Perhaps multiple dances. But I think these will find their way to trading company eventually..)
/beckon
/shoo
/charge (this one could have voiceover and animation. Those could get tiresome when overused though… Possible solutions would be timer to limit spamming, or limiting to commanders only.. Latter could even mirror the effect on all in commanders party, to give out the demoralizing effect it is supposed to have :)

/gogomoarcatapult

Can only be used in Diessa. :|

/point is there for sure, so is /dance, I think (though I didn’t like my dance so I don’t ever use my dance )

/eyebrow

Not all my characters can raise just one eyebrow, but Donari spent years practicing it. It would be great to not only have it for flavor text, but actually get the animation of it!

And, as always, any emote will be MUCH better if the text color is visible rather than a dull washed out grey. Let us see what people are doing, please.

I want a Norn dance that doesn’t look kitten I don’t know of any ethnic Viking dances that might fit, and seeing as the kitty cows already stole the Haka, I’d love to see Norn get a cossack style dance. Veritable giants stomping and jumping. The Asura death toll from getting underfoot would be astronomical.

That would be a great Norn dance! I really do want more traditional dances for all the races rather than modern pop, but then I did vintage dance for years.

The human Shuffle is almost ok but would be much classier as the Charleston (admittedly that was also modern pop .. in the 1920’s. But it has the distinction of being something one can do solo, in pairs, or in groups, and an MMO dance has to be something that doesn’t need a partner).

Which leads me to another dance emote idea I’ve wanted for a while, fiendishly hard though it would be to implement: couples dancing. Some way to hook two people together in a swirling waltz step with the inviter controlling the travel direction but the invitee able to stop at any time. Maybe if not traveling, they could be doing a little grapevine in place, then back to skirt swooshing spinning as they move. The same idea could extend to polka, tango, schottische, lindy hop, swing … ’scuse me while I drool.
