/emote suggestion 'campfire'

I figured this might be a good emote to use if one or more people abandon a duty, and you're stuck waiting around for DF to find more members, or just out in the open world chatting with some other peeps.

Whach'y'all think?

I second this. Also, obligatory request for persistent /read and /write emotes.

Hellluuuuuu maybe?

I like the idea, but a question asked during he recent Live Event touched on something similar, and their answer suggested it's not technically feasible.

A. I'm sorry, but we would need to rebuild the game from scratch in order to do that. There was a time we thought about having a "bonfire" minion, but the fire created a lot of stress, so the idea was shelved.

That's a shame! I like the idea of having an emote to use for those times when you're just waiting around. Suggestions such as a persistent /read & /write and /lean on wall or tree sound like they would not be hard to implement. I would like to add the idea of /converse where your character engages in small talk with a targeted person.

No offense and I know this idea is completely crazy.

Couldn't we just talk to each other instead?

You mean like building an actual campfire and sitting there? Because I think they said they discarded that because it would stress too much the servers.

Just make it a lighting effect like the sun/moon minions? There's already some type of fire effect all over the place outside & in instances... I get that it might cause problems if too many people use in one place, but seriously?

Nonsense. I didn't sign up for a massively multiplayer online game to interact with others.

They already said they might implement the "explanation" emote. That should work.

Not sarcasm. I'm being sincere. I thought about it last night when the tank in my PUG left the duty at the start and we waited around 8-10 minutes for another one to show up.

It occurred to me when we started messing around with emotes and I mentioned it would be cool if we could draw a campfire. I didn't think it would be something that would cause the server so much strain.

Still though, it was cool to pass the time by interacting with each other, and it was a smooth run after a tank joined. :)

Agreed! I really wish there was more interaction between players, and when waiting for DF to find members. Everyone so quick to hop on Netflix, you know?

Another thing I thought about after seeing the /reading /writing suggestions was a toggle command called /talk. When switched on, anytime you type something and hit enter, it animates your character in one of several talking animations we see npcs do.

I just like thinking of ways to get players to interact more, and I hope SE continues to do the same.

such a cute idea for an emote!

I can get on board with this. I want more emotes!

Certainly! I was seeing /converse being sort of a silly ice-breaker thing which lead into actual talk. You know, something to help folks break through their social anxiety. Because I have run into an incredible amount of lonely people in FFXIV who just struggle to reach out to others. An emote would help them immensly.

This is crazy adorable! I love it when I see two or more players interacting like this, and it always puts a smile on my face. I think the /converse /talk emote would be a HUGE step towards getting players to interact with one another outside of combat. It's one of those things that makes a game, more than a game. Even if the gestures don't exactly match what is being said, it would be a huge step in this direction.

They could put one in major cities somewhere. Brings back fond memories of vindictus. Sit around campfire chatting.
