Guild Wars 2

While there may be many important things in this game, like profession balance, etc. I think that there is something that is important independent of combat gameplay mechanics.

Emotes.

There are fewer emotes in GW2 than in GW1, despite having 10 different types of emotes to do (2 genders for each race) while GW1 had 10 professions and 2 genders for each, thus 20 different types of emotes.

While we’re on the topic, why not go all out? I mean underwater emotes. Emotes we can do underwater. Even if it’s just /dance and /laugh, I want underwater emotes.

I’m not suggesting that a significant number of emotes should be added immediately, just that they should be a long-term goal as there’s zero indication that they are working on them.

I’d love some kind of right-click drop down to actually see all possible emotes, instead of having to memorize or look up a list of / commands.

Little things like this made gw1 so so sweet before it died of old age, and have been left in the dust for… scarlet?
I am praying things like this and a number of others are things they will fix/add in before they go off on another year long series of boring aggravations in LS #2

I would love a drop down menu. I always wanted one in GW1 where there were so many emotes I could never keep track of them.

And yeah, city/outpost/guild hall parties were fantastic with the versatile emote system. I know in GW2 there’s the /me [words here] emote, but without an animation it seems useful for only specific situations and Role Playing. (Btw I love /me for rping, it is a fantastic addition.)
