Guild Wars 2

Hello There.

I would like to suggest the addition of a World Rank Emote. The world rank emote would allow players to show of their WvW ranks by simply typing in “/wrank” in chat.

The reason behind this is to give people further incentive to do stuff in wvw. The majority of the Gw2 players are like skritt, they like shiny things. So adding a shiny emote to the WvW Ranks would entice players in doing wvw more, and also a way of showing of their high ranks that they worked so hard for.

During the first stages of Spvp, there was no rank emotes. But after the addition of the rank emotes the pvp community got a little more attention. People wanted Shiny new rank finishers, and the shiny /rank emote, so they played hours and hours to get them.
This was great, but you cant do “/rank” in WvW.

Just like the rank emotes in Guild Wars 1, “/zrank, /rank, /ladder” They all gave players another reason to do either heroes ascent, GvG or open zaishen chest. If players aren’t super competitive, or care about any other rewards, they will want a shiny emote. I remember doing Hereos ascent just to get the Wolf Emote and howl at people. In Guild Wars 2 right now am working on getting my Tiger Emote, i dont Spvp often, nor do i care about tourney, i just like that tiger emote and i will have it soon to /rank people in lions arch ( or to Show of my “kitten” as others call it)

Currently there isn’t a way of letting others know off your WvW rank, The World Rank Emote would be perfect. Players that have ranked up really high feels great that they have an awesome looking emote to go with their rank, players that hasn’t, now have something to work towards and a good reason to raise their wvw rank further.

The WvW rank currently reminds of the ziashen emotes, with bronze, silver and gold animations for different ranks.

So I was thinking there could be a new emote every 3 Titles.

Starting from Assaulter, the first world rank.

Rank 5 Assaulter – Rank 29 scout (This can be like a sword or something)
Rank 30 Solider – Rank 59 Footman ( Another shiny Weapon…Sword/Shield…)
Rank 60 Knight – Rank 89 Colonel (A new shiny Emote)
Rank 90 General – Legend 149 (….Awesomeness)

Once you hit Bronze invader, the emotes have new bronze animations.

Rank 150 Bronze Assaulter – Rank 299 Bronze Scout ( Same as Assaulter-scout rank But Shinier, plated with Bronze

Rank 300 Bronze Solider – Rank 389 Footman ( Again shinier plated with Bronze)

Rank 390 Bronze Knight – Rank 479 Bronze Colonel (shinier plated with Bronze)

Rank 480 General – Legend 600 (…. Bronze Awesomeness)

The Silver and Gold Titles can be the same with new effects and plated with silver/gold.

These emotes will go well along with the Ridiculously long WvW titles….so when you see a player that has the Silver Legend Emote and Ultimate Dominator Title, you know where hes been spending his time over the years of playing Guild Wars 2.

Thank you for reading.

My quick and easy implementation would be to reskin the current sPVP animal into bronze/silver/gold.

Regardless, this is a good suggestion. Is there actually a way to see the rank of your own servermates?

Currently there isnt a way of seeing the ranks of players on your server, in spvp the only way to see other player’s ranks is by them doing the /rank emote then you have a general idea of what rank they are, or finish a match which shows everyone’s rank within that match.

Couldn’t agree more.

I like how Anet took all the things that made GW1 popular (for my friends and I at least) and threw them in the trash for GW2. GvG, Hall Of Heros, and EMOTES! Maybe it was just me but half the reason to play in the Hall of Heros was getting my rank up for that kittening Tiger emote.

The Hall of Heros was a glorious triumph of PvP in an MMO and it’s gone, all we have is WvW and it took half a year to just get a kitten ranking system with no obvious reward. Winning in GW1 felt like an achievement, winning (what ever that might mean) in GW2 feels like…nothing.

This would be amazing, i hope Anet hear this suggestion!

Hoping and praying gets us no where. Tell your friends that do WvW, all come post their views on this. The more voices, the louder we are.
We want emotes !. “When Do we want it” NOW !

Sounds like a good idea to me: PVE people gets shiny skins from fractals and dungeons, sPVP people get rank emotes… give us WvW players something to show for all the hours (and money) spent in WvW !

The ranking really got me into WvW again. Now give us an emote, I’ll love it.

I was hoping to see Emotes in “Devon Carver on the Future of World vs. World” Post…Please Add Some Emotes.

I’d also like to see it affect your name in PvE as well, similar to how map completion does. For example, if you got to the Bronze Invader-Bronze Legend rank, your name bar would have the gold Veteran circle around your picture. Silver Invader-Silver Legend would net you the Champion circle, and Gold Invader+ would grant you the Legendary purple spikes.

This would allow players to show off their higher rank in PvE, plus it definitely gives people something to work for.

Also, I honestly think that your WvW rank should also be a title.
