Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest the addition of a World Rank Emote. The world rank emote would allow players to show of their WvW ranks by simply typing in “/wrank” in chat.

The reason behind this is to give people further incentive to do stuff in wvw. The majority of the Gw2 players are like skritt, they like shiny things. So adding a shiny emote to the WvW Ranks would entice players in doing wvw more, and also a way of showing of their high ranks that they worked so hard for.

During the first stages of Spvp, there was no rank emotes. But after the addition of the rank emotes the pvp community got a little more attention. People wanted Shiny new rank finishers, and the shiny /rank emote, so they played hours and hours to get them.
This was great, but you cant do “/rank” in WvW.

Just like the rank emotes in Guild Wars 1, “/zrank, /rank, /ladder” They all gave players another reason to do either heroes ascent, GvG or open zaishen chest. If players aren’t super competitive, or care about any other rewards, they will want a shiny emote. I remember doing Hereos ascent just to get the Wolf Emote and howl at people. In Guild Wars 2 right now am working on getting my Tiger Emote, i dont Spvp often, nor do i care about tourney, i just like that tiger emote and i will have it soon to /rank people in lions arch ( or to Show of my “kitten” as others call it)

Currently there isn’t a way of letting others know off your WvW rank, The World Rank Emote would be perfect. Players that have ranked up really high feels great that they have an awesome looking emote to go with their rank, players that hasn’t, now have something to work towards and a good reason to raise their wvw rank further.

The WvW rank currently reminds of the ziashen emotes, with bronze, silver and gold animations for different ranks.

So I was thinking there could be a new emote every 3 Titles.

Starting from Assaulter, the first world rank.

Rank 5 Assaulter – Rank 29 scout (This can be like a sword or something)
Rank 30 Solider – Rank 59 Footman ( Another shiny Weapon…Sword/Shield…)
Rank 60 Knight – Rank 89 Colonel (A new shiny Emote)
Rank 90 General – Legend 149 (….Awesomeness)

Once you hit Bronze invader, the emotes have new bronze animations.

Rank 150 Bronze Assaulter – Rank 299 Bronze Scout ( Same as Assaulter-scout rank But Shinier, plated with Bronze

Rank 300 Bronze Solider – Rank 389 Footman ( Again shinier plated with Bronze)

Rank 390 Bronze Knight – Rank 479 Bronze Colonel (shinier plated with Bronze)

Rank 480 General – Legend 600 (…. Bronze Awesomeness)

The Silver and Gold Titles can be the same with new effects and plated with silver/gold.

These emotes will go well along with the Ridiculously long WvW titles….so when you see a player that has the Silver Legend Emote and Ultimate Dominator Title, you know where hes been spending his time over the years of playing Guild Wars 2.

Thanks for reading.

I’m not saying I occasionally type /wrank just to see if it’s been ninja’d in, but …

Super suggestion. This just might make me play WvW more. Right now, I get nothing for the time I spend there. If I can show off my rank it could be a game changer.

they should probably fix how awful the rank titles are first

Yeah they are pretty terrible.

Make the ranks account bound first.

If it looks like a zerg and moves like a zerg it probably is a zerg.

Just kidding HAI YAK
