Emote request: /die

I think it's self-explanatory but if not:

/die you just do the death animation and then just lay on the ground. Obviously you aren't really dead and could possibly die for real if in a dangerous area.

Thanks.

I have actually wished from time to time for a /suicide command or something. Just an "autokills you" thing. I can't for the life of me recall WHY I wanted it

To just lay on the ground.
Also it's just funny..i remember my times in RO, on private servers that would allow /die (or allow admins /killall, man that was funny)...

Reminds me back in the day when people would switch to a level 1 job in FFXI, run out into a populated area like jeuno and than pop a poison potion and die, than have everyone stare at you.

we can't lay on the floor for prolonged periods of time outside of /doze in private housing anymore

Can you imagine the possible troll in PvP just seeing an enemy laying down?

/stuck in SWTOR autokilled your character. If a progression team made too many mistakes people could /stuck to wipe it up quickly. It was a nice tool. If we could get /stuck and have our cooldowns reset upon wipes progression would be a lot nicer on FF14. As it stands now progressing is a bit...clunky feeling. Instances have timers yet they don't let you utilize that time very wisely.

I'd only suggest turning off /stuck in PvP. Because people can /stuck before someone kills them and cheat them of those points.

YES PLEASE, iv always wanted this since they started making you auto res when you get out of a duty Q_Q

WE NEED MORE OF THESE SCREENSHOTS

if i recall this has been turned down by devs because players may do something inappropriate with the /laydown /fakedeath, or /playdead and that was there reason the last few times this idea has been brought up :c

No, we don't need more attention seeking 14 year olds cluttering the floor.

Remember those tents of a wedding dress female players deal with? Imagine the shenanigans with /die!

Job specific emotes would be cool, could have like the twirl for WHM along with this for DRG

As though people don't do "inappropriate" things with emotes already. SE needs to get over it. xD

It would be useful if your character gets stuck and you can't teleport for whatever reason. There have been a few times where my character got stuck at a gathering node and I couldn't change classes, teleport, or move. At that point I'd rather have a command that kills myself so I could just return to my aetheryte bind. Of course such a command would have to automatically override anything that gets you stuck whether you're gathering/falling/etc. It's also handy during lost raid encounters where your group is going to die anyway.

I never did understand their logic here. I can have my character strip to her underwear and dance provocatively, yet lying down is what they deem inappropriate? I could say the same about their jiggle physics. :P

If we got this, I'd honestly just try to use it in every CS to make it more hilarious.

This is relevant.

If SE wasnt so determined to babysit their playerbase so they dont have to experiance "inapropriate things" we would probably get this or some other kind of lying down emote but alas.....

Perhaps /Playdead in Towns only, for those who are afraid it will be not fun in PvP?

It would have made shooting a video I did much easier. Had Odin come by and kill everyone. Took a bit of work to do it right.

Yes

I could finally react properly to bad puns

I'm all for it. Disable the emote in pvp, maybe outside Sanctuaries ad well, and it'd be a nice role play tool.

When you die in PVP it actually grays your name out, though... If you just did the emote your name/job would still be blue/green/red and people would know you were trolling. Not sure why people think it needs to be removed from there, except maybe as a courtesy to the colorblind (idk, I got nothin').

Good enough reason for me.

The jiggle physics still irritate the crap out of me. Take half a step forward and everything flies up and down.

I just want to die SE....

I can't find the will to continue....without that emote.

Ah well, back to stuffing my top. :(

I think this would bait very improper emotes (like people laying on each other). SE has already made their stance pretty obvious on this kind of matter, as they did explain when they said why they wouldn't allow us to /doze in beds outside of housing.

Have you SEEN what people do with existing emotes? People laying on top of each other (and probably clipping into each other completely) is tame. SE is being a pill.

While I understand that SE wants to prevent players from being as perverted as possible... quite frankly, they can't stop that. People have already found ways to act as so just with the existing emotes available. (The Halloween event gif above me is a good example) And that's not even getting into the custom user macro emotes that my female miqo'te has gotten throughout the game...

"(Insert name here) spanks Felicia Meracle!"
"(Insert name here) licks Felicia Meracle!"

... yyyyeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh...

Oh god! That reminds me of that super creeper that came to my house. He sat beside my character and said, "Your character is pretty." /smiled then used a custom macro to "lick" my characters face. EW! EW! EW! WHAT!?

I didn't know what to do so I pretended to be AFK.

Yeah... already weird crap going on in game.

This picture alone makes any excuse SE ever comes up with invalid.

Well, I remember the PVP on Ragnarok Online, the freaking Novices would enter the high level PVP area and attack you then use "Play Dead" skill (and repeat this for minutes). OMG the rage was real, that little thing trying to attack you, clipping with the enemies, making it SO DAMN hard to target anyone... ARGH!
