Expressions should be persistent.

Expressions like smile and such should be permanent, not go away after 5 seconds. It would add a lot of variety to faces in the game!

Yes I would like this option. I like standing with my globe drawn in the alternate pose because it makes me look more friendly.
<---- How expressionless I seem.

People have posted about this before, but I agree. Of course, sometimes you don't want persistent expressions... And sometimes you just want to change the "default" one from /straightface. Because seriously... It looks like I'm always glaring at people.

But a system similar to the /emote motion, we could have /emote default, or /emote persist (or /emote stay if you want a less typo-able term)... That would be awesome. Just only allowed for facial expressions, and not on things like /laugh or /psych or /happy, because that could get annoying really fast :p

Code:

---

/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile
/wait 5.0
/smile

This is the only way I know to get permanent expressions.. yet its a real hassle. You have to keep clicking the button.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to combine macro's with other macros.. or can you?

Making them permanent would probably cause a lot less lag to the server.

This is a rather notorious subject (not in conflicted views, just overwhelmingly well known). There is a GIF that's been going around showing how messed up and insane the expression system looks. Going immediately from laughter to a piercing glare of a straight faced killer.

thats because that gif used /laugh, and then shortly after /straightface.

But yeah, as an Au Ra male it's quite unsettling to see my character smile in all these cutscenes only to then go back to the default face in the same cutscenes

This is PARTICULARLY noticeable in male Au Ra, goodness.

I support having default expressions. Expressions can still change in cutscenes, I'm fine with that.

Gale would be smirking, by the way.

Having persistent facial expressions would be really great for taking screenshots, too. Especially of multiple people.

Yes please. Kall's straight face has been known to scare people. I want to choose when I want to scare people.

My idle face looks quite grumpy all the time, but she has a small smirk when she stands there with her gun drawn ... I find that amusing.

Edit: On topic ...
I'd like to see them add in a kind of 'changepose' but for expressions.
Set it up like the /random idle pose option in the settings, or even allow us to select from a pool of expressions to randomize.

I am in 100% support of this thread.

I would have /taunt up at all times.

Caption for that picture "You mad, bro?"

However a default expression should still change a with other emotes, so if you wanted /huh with a /taunt, you'd still have to use both emotes. Unless you could /huh default where you do the action, but your expression doesn't change.

Please SE! =.=

I would totally macro sprint or mounting with the widest, most maniacal smile emote possible, if this were a thing.

As a male Roegadyn with a face, I need to warn you that this might not be the best idea.

What if you didn't have a face?

Then we wouldn't be able to creep people out with our weird smiles.

Alot of faces in this game are scowly by default, others looking like they're smiling already. It would be interesting to have at least one or two more idle expressions.

I would love to see such a thing implemented.
I gotta /taunt my stuff around town, ya know.

Uh, yes, /taunt is totally wonderful...

Please don't rape me...

On topic, sounds like a neat idea!

I love that gif so much.

This here changed my stance. I'm in support of perpetual facial expressions.

It's been asked before, but I'll yet again say I want it.

Also more /cposes. The only one that looks remotely right on me is the arms crossed one and I'm kinda bored of it.

The instant return to /straightface makes it look like he's sarcastically fake laughing while he's actually really pissed off at his friend for the horrible joke he made. It's as hilarious as it is creepy. XD

I support this, it would be nice.

My little lalafell goddess would be around with permanent /smirk or /taunt

Already using those way too much... HAve also a macro for that and /annoyed xDDD
