Guild Wars 2

I was in WvW watching some guidies duel. Since I have never stood next to someone who was red without shooting them, I thought this was pretty cool. Some Guardian walks over to me and bows. I figure I’ll /bow back since we can’t communicate… you know, being polite and all.

I’m now 1-0 in duels.

It’s been an ongoing thing in the wvw community. It’s pretty fun.

a month after exchanging bows with people I read on here that that’s what most interpreted it as. NOT what I would of thought. after bowing I tried to walk by them, then escape when they attacked. They probably thought something was weird when I never attacked them once. /taunt should be the duel emote.

How about /point @? Like, “Hey, you, I challenge you!”

I remember when Kaineng was kicking the kitten out of my old server, GoM, back when they started their rise to fame. It was Kain/GoM/HoD, and since we were getting our kittens whooped, particular HoD and GoM members decided to quit fighting and hang out.

I remember one particularly interesting incident when I was dancing with a few HoD nearby their spawn. Then a sylvari from Kain showed up, and started trying to dance as well. I put up a /threaten emote, and got us all to annihilate the sylvari.

That was fun.

I don’t WvW often, but I rather like how the inability to speak across servers makes people get creative with emotes. The silent communication and symbolism is rather cool (reminds me of Dark Souls PvP).

I don’t really like this, but you can invite peoples from other servers to your party even in WvW, so emotes aren’t even needed anymore. You can just type “Ready?” in party chat now, I would prefer the Dark Souls style too

Haha, I picture it like karate, when you bow before the fight.

If I’m in JP and don’t want to fight, I /wave. Worked about 0% of the time in T1, works about 50% of the time in t4

This has worked for me a few times. I also run away from attacks if I’m not intending to fight. Once I danced at the chest area with two players from another server.

Oh, I’m on a low tier server.

I never attack people who wave and i’m in t1.
But on the other hand, nobody waves anyway.
