Guild Wars 2

Not that its that big, but compared to other MMOs, there are only a handful of animated emotes in GW2. Is there a chance HoT will give us any? What would you want?

GW2 has emotes ?

I miss air guitar, and the other instruments.

There are currently a number of emote “slash” commands in the game (left over from GW1, presumably) that don’t give an “unknown command” error message, but still do nothing. I’d like to see those finished up before we start seeing “new” emotes.

For example:
/guitar
/drum
/flute
/roar
/agree
/rock, /paper, and /scissors
/yes
/no

I miss /doh and /goteam

also /yes and /no do still work, this produce “<character> agrees” and “<character> disagrees” emotes in general chat

Why do you need air instruments when we have actual instruments. That can actually be played?

Maybe my character sucks at playing instruments but still likes to play along in songs?

Arenanet, give us instrument mastery in HoT pls

I don’t know about my character, but I do suck at playing the ingame-instruments. An air-guitar surely wouldn’t sound that aweful.

I’d love to see more emotes. I was sad when I realized they didn’t add all of the GW1 emotes.

seriously where is my air flute and go team emote? Also synchronized dancing. Unless that’s something you can do already. I’m not sure.

You’re right on the others, but /yes and /no are in game and have animations. I included /agree in my quote because doing /yes gets a grey text emote saying “Character Name agrees (or agrees with Other Character Name, if you have Other Character targeted and type /yes @)”

Speaking of grey text. We can has better color choices, or even individual color choices, for our channels? That’s not a major feature but would be a huge QoL change. I am so bloody tired of peering at dull grey on black to see what’s going on in an RP story.

Sync dancing has been in game since beta. Any animated emote can be synced, in fact.

Here’s how:

1 – Stand near everyone participating.
2 – Everyone types /dance * (the space and asterisk must be there) and waits.
3 – One person counts down in chat or in voice chat.
4 – Everyone hits Enter at the signal

A couple of seconds later, everyone should be dancing in sync. They use their own racial animations, though, unlike the How to Dance which has three moves that everyone does as controlled by the one who cast it.

This procedure works for all animated emotes as I said. So /salute *, or /wave *, etc.

Of the few things I miss from wow, one of the big ones is /train.

Plus, there are few games not improved by taunts.
