Guild Wars 2

I would like the following
/slap ( first choice this is a must have)
/poke
/facepalm
/burp
/yell
/scold
/heartattack or scared
/game ( should pull out a handheld game)
/trip or fallsdown
/sneeze

I can’t think of anymore but this game has the most bare basic emote’s and could use some more post anything else you would like to see.

Or even an /airplane emote for after the April Fools day that replicates the arms and plane noises.

Even /clap would be nice.

Or maybe the emotes they had back in GW1? Such as:

/attention
/violin

There were a ton more but never made it into gw2. Just like so many other things that were in GW1 that players loved, but didn’t make it into the second game. -cough build templates cough-

If this game had half the emotes that City of Heroes did, it would be a vast improvement in that category.

But if they added /clap, I’d also like to see /golfclap.

Prepare to get shot down by fanboys who never played the first game
Been there done that.

I think GW2 should take a hint from EQ2 and LoTRO and use similar emotes. They have a vast array of them for just about every situation.

There is a /scared, sorta. I think it’s called /surprised

I’d like to see /facepalm. Altho /no is a close second.

And /clap yes! But…that just /cheer right?

So if we take the entire list of emotes from GW1 that are missing in GW2 that gives us :
/attention: [Character] comes to attention!
/beg: [Character] begs.
/boo or /scare: [Character] scares you!
/bored: [Character] is bored.
/bowhead or /head: [Character] bows his/her head.
/catchbreath or /breath: [Character] stops to catch his/her breath.
/clap: [Character] claps.
/congrats: [Character] offers congratulations.
/cough: [Character] coughs.
/doh: [Character] smacks his/her head. Doh!
/doubletake: [Character] does a double take.
/excited: [Character] is excited!
/fistshake: [Character] shakes a fist angrily.
/flex: [Character] flexes.
/goteam or /encourage: [Character] cheers wildly, “Go Team!”
/helpme: [Character] requests help!
/highfive or /five: [Character] says, “High Five!”
/moan: [Character] moans.
/paper: [Character] plays rock, paper, scissors. (Character lands on paper.)
/pickme: [Character] says, “Pick me!”
/pout: [Character] pouts.
/ready: [Character] is ready for action!
/roar: [Character] roars.
/rock: [Character] plays rock, paper, scissors. (Character lands on rock.)
/roll <#>: [Character] rolls (#) on a (#) sided die. (This emote does not work in towns, outposts or PvP combat areas.)
/salute: [Character] salutes.
/scissors or /scis: [Character] plays rock, paper, scissors. (Character lands on scissors.)
/scratch: [Character] scratches.
/shoo: [Character] shoos you away.
/sigh: [Character] sighs.
/sit or /afk: Character sits from a standing position.
/sorry: [Character] apologizes.
/taunt or /rude: [Character] taunts you.
/violin: [Character] plays the violin sadly.
Continues to make this emote until the character moves or another emote is given
/yawn: [Character] yawns.

Emote related to music instruments have been removed since we have instrumental bundles available.

And I’ll point out that these emotes should be standard and come with the game, not via some gouging scheme in the gem store.

GW2 is a great game, but in this one area it is lacking severely.

If you are making lists, let’s look at my old game. Click on the emote to see the example of it in action.

I would adore a /blow kiss emote.

Soon to come to your friendly gem store :p

Yeah, and the way Anet does things, it’ll be 800gems per emote

Compared to Square Enix’s FFXIV game. This game emote is really lacking.

Compared to GW1 this game is lacking even more emotes.
Why do we lack so many basic things from GW1?

I was specifically disappointed about the lack of a /scratch animation. I like to RP itchy characters.

Come on, it’s /airguitar that we need!

We have a bass that does not sound like a bass but it’s still something anyway
