Hellow everyone!

I recently started to play gw2 because a friend suggested it to me and i like it a lot. There are many things you can do and a lot of places to see and explore.
For me the game looks like there are a lot things you can do with your friends and guild mates.
But when my mate stopped to push me around the maps because i should do this map completion and get some materials for my legendary weapon so i can craft it in a year or two i noticed one thing that really annoyed me and that was the lack in animations for drinking and other stuff and no items like chairs to interact with around the world.
I’m a roleplay fgt from world of warcraft and im used to have all kinds of animations for everything like having a drink, opening the map or just sitting on chairs.
All that is missing in one of the most played MMORPG we have today.
At first i couldnt believe it and started running around buildings to find some usable things but i couldnt find any and that totally killed my immersion because my characters butt needed some rest that day.
Having all that would bring people together in places like the one on my screenshot.
Just imagine sitting there with your guildies having a nice drink after completing a raid, that would be the perfect ending to a successful day of killing and other crimes.

Please add some fancy new animations.
Thank you!

Yeah, seeing stuff like this in GW2 would be pretty cool. It would add a lot more depth and atmosphere to the game if you could just sit down in a bar and have a beer with your guildmates. Right now it feels like an “online single-player” bc you barely have any player to player interaction. There should be things like this to make it attractive for players to interact and talk to each other. For example here is a list of emotes you can do in ESO (not saying this is a good MMORPG but the emotes are top :P):

GW2 is ways older than ESO but still it lacks in depth. And also i think the game should be harder and things like the LFG should be removed. It REALLY destroys the social aspect of an MMORPG. You should go into cities and find people doing stuff and talking about some things. You should ask around if anyone would run a dungeon with you and not just press a button, jump right in, press some buttons, leave. This destroys the real way a MMORPG should be.

Oh I am sure many players would love it! You couldnt believe how many of my guildies and friends loved the new ones added with BF! (And they looked neat when used in the story itself.
For roleplay, it would be great to get /hurt, like when you get an injury. The downed animations will propably never be allowed, but something similar would be amazing.
A gemstore /chair emote would be amazing too..
It is too bad that RPers are overlooked, even through they tend to care about the gemstore items the most (rper needs to look the part too).. A little bit more emotes and the ability in options to automaticcaly connect to a server marked as “RP server” would improve roleplay tremendously.

For start, I would like some guild chairs and seating cushions people can actually sit on, instead of having a set appropriated from an extremely minuscule dollhouse.

But yes, definitely seconded (fourth-et, whatever). More animations would be extremely welcome.

The eating and drinking animations in a nutshell

Hi OP, I’m a fellow RPer too from Piken Square.

As much as I would love some of your suggestions, and pretty much everybody, Roleplayers and Non-Rolplayers alike would love to be able to sit on chairs, the trouble is that we have five different races and within each race they are different scalable sizes, which was confirmed a problem for the developers when it comes to the sizing of chairs and what-knot. I assume a similar problem for leaning on stuff as well.

It would be great – but I wouldn’t get your hopes up on the idea though.

Hi Krin, you seem familiar…

I do like your idea of a gem store chair. Perhaps one we can carry around in our inventory and when we take it out, we can sit on it? Kind of like how we have a scalable magic carpet.

World of warcraft chairs can handle the scaling for the classes. Drarnei and tauren can use the same chairs as gnomes and goblins.
But leaning doesnt have to be for special items, for example /leanside, /leanback and /leanbackcoin (leaning back and flipping a coin) in the elder scrolls online just does the animation and requires no item to do that and yes it looks stupid if you lean on to nothing but someone whos not 10 years old wouldnt do that.
Also important are the eating and drinking animations becauae they are completely missing.

Oh snap, Tony found me… And while I used wrong grammar and kept repeating the same words..
Yeah, I can’t imagine the Anet team changing every chair/sofa ingame to fit all the races. I like your idea of carrying it in your inventory, I would prefer to unlock it as an emote, because I admit I hate hoarding things in my inventory, but both of these ways sound nice and seem possible.

I know many “gemstore addicts” like me who would jump at the opportunity to get that, even through they have no interest in RPing.

It also feels weird when you decorate your guildhall for all to enjoy.. And you can’t even sit on the chairs..

..Just some more emotes and an optional server that we could all join temporarily when we want to RP… It sucks when half the community is in the same map but scattered over different shards..
