Emotes: /liedown or /playdead?

Hello! Sorry if this might be the wrong place to post a small suggestion I've been thinking of, still a bit new around here. o/

One of the things I've really loved about this game is the huge number of emotes available to us, but I've also noticed there's a pretty obvious one missing? I would love to see, say a /liedown or /recline emote to lie on the ground anywhere (not just in a bed) and take a nap in the grass, or possibly a /playdead emote that goes through our normal "death" animation, arms splayed out and weapon dropped and all. Maybe it was never added because of the possibility of clipping issues in some areas, but tbh my hair clips enough with most outfits that at this point I've come to accept it as the norm. :p

It's just a small and silly suggestion, but others I know have also wanted something similar, and I can imagine some pretty interesting shenanigans that could come out of having an emote like this.

Yes please!


God forbid I mention WoW around here, but I always enjoyed doing /sleep in random places when I went afk or just when standing around waiting on stuff in town and whatnot

I know, I really want it too. But apparently the reason for not implementing it is the possibility of misuse. It's a shame thogh, it'd be nice to lie down in the grass and look at the sky, i.e. People will always find ways to abuse the emotes we already have, anyway.

Because of abuse???
That's ridiculous....if the devs want to see abuse of emotes they should check out that "creepy screenshots" thread. I mean c'mon now.

I've seen threads about requesting such an emote.
I have a mighty need for it as well, OP.

If the female Miqo'te /doze in bed emote is anything to go by, we're sadly way past that point already. I'm going to go ahead and blame the Lalafells...

Didn't someone already post a topic like this a couple weeks ago?

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...05#post3324105 Found it :V ... close enough.

I want lie down on Mist beach

Would be nice to be able to do this anywhere.

SE needs to give us a Toy Crater "minion" along with it so I can roleplay as Yamcha whenever I want.

The devs have some strange belief these emotes will lead to inappropriate poses or abuse, which makes me wonder if they have actually looked in the game. Hell, for an RP event, a bunch of our characters were drunk and led to awkward sitting in bunny outfits. So... :|

as people said it seems stupid but they believe you will see people 'sitting and standing' (even more for male miqo'tes) on a laying down or 'dead' body making it look like they are having sexual intercorse, they haven't seen the fact that every emote can be misused, lalafell's rally looks like there using there hands for something else if done in front of another race, lets not forget the twerking miqo'tes because of pray.

if someone wanted to misuse an emote they will find a way.

if they add it in, it will work wonders for RP to play dead when ever.

agree. Even now after many years of no WoW I still sometimes want to type in /sleep when I go afk somewhere nice.

Oh puh-lease >_>
Sorry to inform the devs, but you don't need to lie down to have sexual intercourse. Players have RP'ed that kind of thing with all kinds of very obvious poses already, lying down won't change ANYTHING. Those who want to do it are already doing it. Those who don't want to (the overwhelming majority!) are not gonna suddenly start rolling around on the ground with each other just because they can decide where to sleep now.

Oh, and since we are on topic already - can we also please have actual SLEEPING poses for female Miqo'te, Elezen, etc.? I think my Miqo'te's spine has a crack already and my Elezen's neck is so stiff, even when she is awake and standing, it's bent weirdly.

I'd love a liedown emote. I remember using something like that in WoW. It works well in RP situations where your character gets injured. And with the emotes we have now you can easily abuse those as well with the constant spamming. Random sounds, constant movements. Really i can't see how a liedown emote is worse than hearing a constant cheer sound play over and over which can sound really disturbing and irritating.

That awkward moment when you log in at Llymlaen's altar and the first thing you see is a girl on her knees, head stuck between the legs of another person.

Inb4 the devs remove that sit idle.

inb4 /disappointed and /kneel get removed, because I saw people use that for...well, a certain animalistic "fun" pose.
Along with /stretch and whatever it was that guy in Camp Bronze Lake was spamming to make his hips move while standing behind said stretching Miqo'te lady..:(

Point is..everything can be abused ._.
So please let us lie down. It's really important for RP, but even for the non-RPers it's still something that makes the game just feel..."right". I created a fluffy place in my new home, with pillows and a soft carpet and plushies and candles and books, I'd REALLY love to be able to lie down there, but of course I can't. I also sometimes just want to lie down on NPCs beds when I'm going afk, like the ones in Thanalan, Coerthas, etc.

Bumping this. The dev's excuse not to implement it is just.. dumb.

I think it should be called /playgoon instead of /playdead. lol

More emotes is never bad.

I agree Kallera, more emotes is never bad.

but..
Lol when you consider that people have gone so far as to K.O. their characters to get them in a prone position for certain naughty rp, I'm not surprised there is no "use anywhere" lay down pose, but it would be cool. The new sit poses are nice btw!

I have never heard of someone doing this but it sounds positively hilarious they would go to such an extent. XD

I have seen someone who died to impale their character on a spike in Idylshire though. Shoulda taken a screenshot...

You could say...they'd kill for ERP.

I would love to be able to have some sort of laydown emote (although not the one I have in FC house cause it looks like I'm snoring >_<) to be able to take nice screenshots out & about. And if SE's only reason for not adding that is seriously because they think we'll make suggestive situations with it I say you should look at other emote combinations in game before you give me that line of crap >_>...

OMG if I wasn't paranoid & thought they would ban me from the forums, I have some hilarious ones from 1.0 that are still emotes in the game now lmao.
Let's just say Roe male /psych + Hyur female in front doing /stagger is most frightening <_<;

Oh, also watch out for lala's cause they are the perfect height to smack your ass lol
C'mon SE, give us a laydown emote! Get your mind out of the gutter and imagine all the pretty screenshots! :O

Just lvl up a DRG i think one of their passive traits is to /playdead.
I see it all the time in pony farms :D

Nope not just drgs, I happen to be good at this in any primal where you can get thrown off the platform. I even managed to /sprint right off a platform one time without even waiting to get thrown off by the boss. /purplewater

Yep, there is/was a RP server or area in WOW with "shire" after the name, I don't play WOW so I don't remember the name but imagine an entire room filled with basically dead characters in rp....and no, they were not role playing "death"! It was hilarious, I saw it on a twitch stream.
