Sleep Emote

Can we have that animation from the Bed Mount specifically? I know Play Dead is a bit of a alternative, but a sleep emote would be nice to have. :)

I believe someone said there was at one time a sleep anywhere emote, but it began being used for less than wholesome purposes in town, so doze only works around a bed now. Something like that.

Oh, yikes. :(

I had heard something about the Doze Emote long time ago now that I'm recalling, seems like it was before my time in FFXIV.

what sauteed said

though if reddit is to be believed, it is still possible via glitch.

I don't think regular players should miss out on something just because it might be abused by a portion of the player base.

me either, but that is the story I got told. It's sad because SE has to basically baby sit the population of the game, and maintain a 'decent' image for those who may be interested at the same time. Kind of a messed up situation.

That's kind of what laws are tho. Speed limits, public indecency, etc.

I think there’s a difference between irl laws and fantasy game rules.

But then they monetized a similar emote with /playdead and people put on displays in town with that all the time. :p

More different sleeping poses on the bed then maybe?

There was never an option to use it anywhere.
It's just a reason it hasn't been allowed to be anywhere.

Not that this stops people with /playdead and other emotes though.

Sounds weird to me if it's true because the /playdead emote can be used for similar purposes if someone really wants a laying on the ground emote.

yup, sadly tis why slow mo for gpose got quietly dropped until yoshida was asked

which is pointless- there's 3rd party posing tools already for the erp "players" if they want an nsfw pose

Yet the push up emote exist. Shameful display.

Good to know. I was just saying what I got told at one time about it. I was(still am) in an all lala linkshell and we were chatting in Mor Dhona and I think one asked why they couldn't sleep on a bench.. conversation got bizarro pretty fast.

Blame the culture of liability for that. It would be nice and all if each instance of violation is treated locally specifically to the offender. But what will more than likely happen is some kind of lawsuit claiming the developers are liable for not policing their game well and must take responsibility for all wrong doing on their platform ... and you bet tons of people gonna be on the band wagon because it makes them feel good.

Can't blame the dev for playing it safe.

I mean like other people have pointed out, the play dead emote exists, the push up emote exists.

play dead
You gotta pay for it now

Hmm... I don't recall there ever being a /sleep emote which could be used everywhere. We've just had the /doze emote which is limited to beds.

Whether or not FFXIV doesn't have a /sleep emote because of ERPers is irrelevant to me. By itself, a /sleep emote isn't a particularly interesting emote. I'd rather see emotes which would be more fun, such as /bubblegum.

I think it's entirely subjective as to whether a sleep emote is interesting or not. Personally I'd rather have more emotes that contribute to immersion and role-play than those that further push the game into feeling more like modern day elements are inserted into it purely for the sake of having them there.

For example, a sleep emote could easily be useful to have a character fall asleep next to a campfire out in the bitterly cold wilds of Coerthas or Garlemald.

I see no reason, however, why both a sleep emote and a bubblegum emote couldn't be added.

It just is a bit funny to me if this emote indeed was taken away due to the likes of erpers or some such, yet ive seen people poke fun at WoW for it recently taking away or changing some emotes as well. I also vaguely recall yoshi p mentioning somewhat recently people had asked for the slow clap emote Valens uses in the weapons questline however the devs decided not to implement it as it could be used in a harsh way...

The limiting of /doze to beds might just be a matter of having both the "dozing off while standing/sitting" and "sleeping" emotes and thinking the player would only want to use the latter on a bed, like we only use the chair version of /sit when in range of a seat.

That said, I don't think it works on a lot of beds in the overworld but they seem to have gotten better about it in Shadowbringers. You can definitely use it on the beds at the Ostall barracks and the hammocks in Fanow. Maybe other places too.

I'd appreciate being separated out and able to use anywhere though. They separated /groundsit out as a command so it's possible they'd do the same for the sleeping poses.

I can't remember the specific scene you're referencing, but Valens uses an Elezen model and they do a slow clap just as their regular /clap emote. So it may not be a new emote for them to implement.

Still waiting for the /sniff that one Miqo in mor dhona does.

But as was mentioned before, we can't have nice free things, I guess!

That's a hoax I think, I've been around since the launch of ARR and I don't remember there ever being a sleep emote.
Using this logic one would have to remove half the emotes which can be abused this way.

Anyway, we need a normal sleep emote!

Nope, there's mobs of potatoes at Balmung Ul'dah that's sleeping at floor before. (Before Asmon playing FFXIV I think)

I am confused, I've seen people sleep in Limsa before.
Or do those pillows count as beds?

On Lich I know that there's someone who frequently AFK's in pyjamas and sleeps in Limsa I see them regularly doing it.

I'm talking about those people who use 3rd party to use sleep on the floor or sit everywhere.

There's hack for it. Since it exists in game.
The /doze to beds and /sit to furniture is the same, it's just when it's near a bed or chair code gets added, like extra positionals.
Thus people have found a way to edit the memory to put the emote on your bar with the positionals added.

That sounds like a very against ToS thing that people shouldn't be doing openly lol.
I see it fairly regularly in Limsa especially during night time.

I know, and we were talking about an official sleep emote being in the game in the past. Which I think is a hoax because I have never seen that in the last 8 years.

Believe it’s the slow clap he does when saying “burn out the bad” it’s the one that’s typically translates irl to like… “Get.It.Together.”
