Emote Suggestions

That dismissive wave that Emet-Selch does when he's walking away from the WoL. /dismiss

Fortnite default dance.

I'm serious.

New idea - /Shoo, as an opposite to /Beckon, and for every time another player doesn't get you don't want them near (looking at everyone who runs up to me when I get a red marker >.>)

Fortnite crossover event. Garlamaid has invaded fortnite land intent on stealing the pinatas. Unlock pickaxe weapon for war and default skin costume. Default dance is also unlocked. Battlebus alliance mount. Your character also screams fortnite.

I would like emotes for when we are sitting, or even emotes that are specific to sitting and are consistent such as eating, reading, writing, daydreaming, cloud/star counting, etc.

Other ones I have been thinking about lately, especially for SAM is an examineweapon. I always liked it when a samurai/blacksmith would take a katana, unsheathe it slightly to examine the quality of the metal and craftsmanship, and then return it with just a simple nod. I really do like job specific emotes and wish there were more of them. We kind of have them in variations of certain emotes depending on the job.

Basically, just more emotes to bring our characters more and more to life.

I would love an emote that was a polite way of saying "no."

I RP as a silent player using only emotes and I've run into this issue where the only emotes I have very abruptly or aggressively say no or I just have to use custom text.

I like how they did this with greetings. I hate female roe /wave because I look like a madwoman flailing from a distance. A simple head shake would be nice. And our stoic nod that isn't on the emote list for some reason.

Would you not be sneezing quite often as you are Miqo'te yourself? XD

Also... /moshpit

Edit -

I mean, why not?

Honestly, I'd just like a lot of the English emotes to get a 2nd look by the localization team. I feel like a few of them don't have text that matches the slash command given to them, and sometimes I find myself stumbling over trying to remember what the commands are because the commands don't necessarily line up with what you get out of the emote.

Examples:

• /thumbsup says "You agree wholeheartedly" -- Why not just "You give a thumbs-up" because we already have /nod for agreeing with people.
• /upset says "You look disgusted" -- Just, what? Why? This doesn't make sense. Should just say "You look upset."
• /huh says "you fail to understand John Doe." -- That seems like a word salad; why not just say "You look confusedly at John Doe"
• /deny says "You disagree vehemently" -- In this case I think the description works well but the command should be /disagree
• /angry says "You are frustrated with John Doe." -- Frustration and anger are two different emotions, this should be "You are angry with John Doe."
• /doubt says "You question John Doe." -- The animation looks more like we're accusing John Doe of something, though, and makes this a very strange emote. It should probably say "You doubt John Doe's motives."

There's a whole lot more examples, but I don't wanna turn this into a wall of text.


What I'd also like to be able to do is give an emote animation a custom description.

For instance, typing /laugh thinks John Doe is silly. would play the laughing emote animation, but the text description would say "Olivia Steelheart thinks John Doe is silly."


Besides that, I'd like to see some of the Viera emotes get reworked. A few of them feel very low-effort, such as /rally, /psych, and particularly /joy. Every time I complete a dungeon, and watch my Viera do her lame, scripted, /joy emote (which just makes her tilt her head to the side and open her mouth wide like she's slipping into a coma) it just makes me irritated.

I think you can actually do that using Macros! you see healers all the time with unique raise macros! I'm pretty sure there's some custom emote macros by default!

You can indeed! See this Reddit guide, linked below.

Thank you for the advice, but macros aren't what I want. I want to just type a single line to do an impromptu custom (animated) emote.

Using macros won't work for me, because you have to put macros that you've pre-made onto a hotbar to use them, and I already have 3 hotbars on my screen full of spells/abilities. I don't want to fill up more hotbars with random one-off emotes to click on.

Allowing custom emote text with the emote's specific slash command would add more flexibility to the emote system. Then I don't have to fill up hotbars, or I don't have to hunt around some nested hotbars with the mouse trying to remember what the icon for the custom emote I'm trying to find looks like.

Since there is already a way to do what you are looking to do(albeit not exactly the way you WANT to do it), I doubt they'd spend dev time on such a request. But, good luck to you either way! :)

After about two months I finally remembered to get footage of the dance I'm talking about. This.

I need this!

Basically, change them to being co-emotes. I do an emote on you, then you do the same on me. Boom. Fancy new hug emote that's a bit more involved and looks less like you're awkwardly hugging air.

Change them to something of an idling emote I guess... You do /hug, and the emote text either says "You await a hug from anybody" or "You await a hug from <target>" depending on your target or lack of, perhaps with a paused version of the existing emote (so with your arms out waiting). The other player then reciprocates the emote and you do a far more quality looking version of it.

Along that sort of line, a /pickup emote would be hilarious too... Who doesn't want to toss a Dwarf? Or see a Lalafell hurl a Hrothgar? Interactive emotes like that have so much funny potential... Shame for PS3 limitations...

Would also love to see this style of emote applied better to minions. We already sort of have it, with /pet and /handover eliciting a response from minions. I'd like to see it expanded upon and improved though, like /hug having you pick up the minion and actually hug it, rather than the current "I'm hugging the air above you" emote we have...

---

Meanwhile I'm here hugging NPCs like Curious Gorge during WAR storyline, Ysh'tola during SB, Tataru, Alphinaud during HW, Aymeric for obvious reasons, and Haurchefaunt, and I'll just await a hug from them... forever. *cries in a corner*

I'd like to see an emote for 'self-love' - just hugging yourself. The WoL could use some self-love after everything that they dealt with.
That and a 'Time out' emote for comedy sake.

The I asked for, though different name, (/leanagainstwall) was implemented (/lean). :)))

The hopscotch emote from slitherbough would be good.

Off the top of my head? /sigh

I got 6 hotbars on screen, 3 only for emotes and some food.
I make these a 4x3 square so they are not on my face. But I still can't fit all the emotes I use :(
