Guild Wars 2

G’day
Yesterday I played in the mists, after a while of idle staring at my character I came to a conclusion… why my character stands so dull ? The animations we have now are nice and all. Male norn’s fist pounding and arm stretch fits them good as well as for other races. But what If we had idle animations as /slash commands like standing idle in a heroic pose to let you and others to bask in the glory of your toon for example: a two handed sword pierced into the ground and a character resting his hands upon its handle, pretty cool right ? Standing at attention like soldiers do while guarding stuff ? There might also be some other fancy animations like smexy poses for females and males who flex their bulging muscles. There might be class specific emotes perhaps. It doesn’t seem like its too much and too hard to make, heck I would even handle it if those animations were to be acquired through gem store. What do you guys think about it, maybe you have some good ideas ?

Runescape had emotes you could buy from their store, you could also earn more in game. Not sure I would want them as emotes as what you are describing would be more like a stance or a pose?

I would def be all for “poses”. That being you select your pose and your char stays put in that pose until you move. Pretty much how some tonics work right now. So they could easily sell them in the gem store as new endless tonics.

The game has some emotes, though not that many. The possibility of buying emotes from the gem store has been requested before.

Oh, you are right. Poses sound much better. I hope that more people will leave their thoughts here so that Anet will lay their eyes upon this idea.
