Last till cancel emotes - Felix Sideris - 07-31-2013

Okay, the reason I am posting here on the role play forums is to rally together the RP community and get everyone who agrees with this to post that they do on the beta forums so we can try to get square to implement this.

What I am suggesting is that the emotes, for example:

/dance
/grovel
/kneel
/pray

And so forth should last until you move or cancel it in some other form. I think it would be really cool to stay kneeling or groveling or so forth while doing certain role plays.

Maybe your character is becoming a knight or being honored in some way and is kneeling for the ceremony? It would be a lot better if we didn't have to constantly /grovel or /kneel for the role play.

I love the emotes that have been implemented and as a role player who is extremely dedicated to the games which I get into (I played and role played on WoW for seven years), I would very much like to see this happen and I am sure many of the role players in the community would agree.

Thank you for all your support, and hopefully we can see this happen.

If you are interested in supporting this and would like to see this get implemented as much as I would, please reply to this thread as well as post such on the beta forums.

I'm not too good at navigating forum threats, especially the beta forums so I am quite unsure where I should go to start a suggestion thread on the beta forums.

Currently the beta forums are closed except for the general discussion, but when phase 4 opens I will be posting a thread there and try to get support for it. I will also update this thread and let people know that it has been posted.

Again, thanks everyone!

Oops misread sorry.

Your best bet for providing feedback on the actual game is to post in the beta forums. Only General Discussion is open at the moment, but when phase 4 starts, the Feedback forums will open up again and you can post there as well.

I know that is the best place. XD

Like I said in my original post, my purpose of posting here is to rally together the role play community to get something like this passed. I cannot post on the beta forums until after beta phase 4 opens, but if everyone in the community knows about this and would also like it to be passed we would have a better chance of seeing it passed.

Also, I'm not saying these emotes aren't in the game, I am saying they should last until cancled or until you move. Currently, if you do some of the emotes such as the ones I have listed, they end and your character goes back to the default standing position after a few seconds, about 10-15 depending on the emote.

I already posted this in the feedback section of the beta forum. Please like it now and then bump it later when the forums reopen!

Also, this is my first post! Hello, everyone!

I'm all for this. Redoing emotes over and over can be a pain, especially since they automatically go into the chat....it crowds the chat really quickly.

I also think that they should implement for seated emotes. They already have a sitting emote for doze, but its the only one. Why not more?

You can suppress the text by adding "motion" after your emote, e.g. "/pose motion". This will just display the animation and won't crowd the chat!

Yeah the main thing is that constantly doing /pose motion would be a pain, as Shizu said. Even if it doesn't spam the chat log, it is still a major incovience.

Of course. Plus, it just plain won't work: Emotes like "/pray" and "/kneel" will start over from the beginning which looks even more ridiculous than just doing the emote once.

I just wanted to explain the "motion" thing since Shizu wasn't aware of it!

I gotchya. Smile

I really hope we can get them to pass this, though. It would be such an amazing addition to the game in terms of role play.


RE: Last till cancle emotes - Felix Sideris - 08-01-2013

Hopefully we can gain a good amount of support together so this can be brought to pass. More often than not, game directors and producers along with forum moderators direct their attention towards the community's more popular suggestions. Not to say that they don't pay attention to the little guy, but I feel like the more support we get for this the better chance we will have of seeing it come to life.


RE: Last till cancle emotes - Clover - 08-01-2013

This would be a very good idea, especially for the kneeling emote. I had similar thoughts when I tested the game, actually; I was hoping for the character to stay like that.


RE: Last till cancel emotes - Celsius - 08-01-2013

Thanks for the explanation on that one, Yini! Good to know.


RE: Last till cancel emotes - Aysun - 08-01-2013

Great for things like /kneel. But /dance? Hell no. XD People would put themselves on /dance and AFK.. it'd be so annoying.. There's going to be enough odd stuff to ignore for the sake of immersion already, let's not add more!

o_O I've never seen people troll before with /dance. If the dance was made fluid where it could flow seamlessly then I don't think it would be a problem.

Tongue And I'm not sure what odd stuff you're talking about. Either way, some of the emotes like /kneel /grovel and maybe even /salute could use it. Or maybe add another style of emotes like /grovelhold where they hold the position until influenced otherwise.
