So in the last patch some of the emotes were changed. My /poke emote, which used to be a cute three quick pokes at someone, is now a slow, one poke, and boring emote. It used to be one of my favorite emotes. The emote was changed just for that "character's height in relation to target" crap that doesn't actually do much unless you are poking minions. Can we get it adjusted again so not everyone's pokes are the same? I miss running up to my FC mates and doing my usual pokes. It just isn't the same.
Patch notes:
"Your character's height in relation to that of your target will now be used to determine how the emote is executed when used to interact with other targets. As of patch 2.35, the Poke, Pet, and Hand Over emotes have been affected by this change.
Please note, however, that emote adjustments will not be made when sitting, mounted, or when no target is selected."
So my character still does the old poke if I'm sitting down, but rarely do I poke people while sitting.
EDIT: Turns out the rapid pokes are when you don't have anyone targeted now, while the slow pokes are when someone is targeted. :D

There is always something to complain about on the forums.

Um, i haven't noticed a change. It's still three quick pokes when you target people, but a double poke if you target yourself/nothing or an inanimate object like a summoning bell.
FYI i just tested it too. -
08-21-2014, 12:45 PMFarahThank you for letting me know. I just checked and it seems it's the other way around. If you don't target people it's the three quick pokes, but if you have someone targeted it changes to the new slow pokes. I usually target people before poking them so I didn't notice that it would do it without. Thank you for being the only actual helpful person here. :3Quote:

The /pet emote is hilarious. Shorter characters look like they're rubbing my beard for luck.

THe quick three pokes happen with a character of a similar size.
Slow pokes are for larger/smaller targets. -
