A Realm Reborn: Roleplaying Community Wishes

[Ravij]

Seriously I can't count the number of times I've wanted to use a /hug or /kiss emote but it doesn't exist. q q

Well we have a /blowkiss emote.. But I think a /hug or a /kiss would required a little more work in the coding as you'd need to have two player characters interact together at the same time for it to happen. And even then if it was initiated by one player targeting another; Non-Rper's may abuse it to purposely anger and grief us Role Players. Also there's the varying height differences of each race. It's too much to program. :\ If every race was the same height consistently within their race; I'd see no problem. But since everyone can choose their own height; you'll have issues with clipping and some kisses going straight into someones face or in other cases; missing them completely.

Most animations as emotes, with or without flashy effects I don't mind. Like, literally. I'd like to be able to kick someone when we act out a fight

+1 for sleeping / unconcious though. Really need this. As well as permanent stance (pray etc) emotes.

Still waiting on our vanity system too, but it was mentioned as 1.1 or after so I'm willing to wait.

I think for your first suggestion a "Duel" option would be more appropriate!

And it's also 2.1 that we get our vanity slots. :P As the game we are playing is Version 2 of FFXIV. :>

I would like to see some new dance emotes. Again with Elezen Males.. their dance is very... un-jigy. It's more like he's just shuffling his feet around than doing a jig.

Whoops. :P

I'd prefer actions actually, duels are difficult to do for fake outcomes, an unlucky crit or low levels means they can end unexpectedly, or you have to do it nude, making it look daft :P

Eh, it's just too much to code and program though. I haven't played an MMO yet that had a set outcome for a 1 on 1; even if it's through RP.

I'd love to role play in this game but I didn't see any rp servers. Are there unofficial ones?

For EU, some of us on ffxivrealm.com, had to decide where to go.

Some were purposing Moogle, but that's the "hardcore elite" server with a horde of wannabe, and the French chosen one too, so we decided to go for Odin as the Germans finally decided to choice Shiva.

US servers were purposed too, but many experienced that in other games, and the incompatibility between time zone, late night events and real life work is proved.

Odin, an Unofficial EU-RP Server


More on topic:

- Official RP servers with free character migration, I took their absence as a real betrayal and a gap in marketing from Square Enix :O
- /thank emote would be useful.
- /sleep would be resting when we can't afford to go back to an auberge.
- Fall damages should kill if from high, like 10m.
- No more mounts inside houses.
- Survival system for us and our mounts: weather, wet, cold, hot, fatigue, resting, food and drink.
- Second names for retainers, only visible by us to do not clutter the market place.
- Specific barding for chocobos, related to your class, job, e.g. a miner barding for a miner, with small beer keg, lantern, spare tools, saddlebags, but also a dragoon bard for a dragoon, et cetera. Like in LotRO: http://lotro-wiki.com/index.php/Mounts
- Wind orientation system related to specific mobs who can smell your presence if you do not approach against the wind.
- I want to become the captain of a boat one day and it will be my house I can sail from Limsa to all other relatively safe places in the world :O
- A home, related to the lore, for Lalafels and Keepers of the moon, as we don't have any when all others seems to have one.
- Chat bubbles as mentioned, but with a toggle option.

You'll have to stop me editing on this subject :°
/thank for that thread, OP, peeps.

I really want a /teabag emote, just for fun.

• Chat bubbles
• Overhead emote blocks [SWG]
---------------------------------
• MxO walking and sitting "moods" - probably the most character defining aspect I've ever seen added to MMOs for Roleplayers that actually changed your characters sitting posture and body movements when walking
• crossarms emote (held permanently until changed)
• leaning against walls emote (permanent until changed)
• kneel emote (permanent until changed)

The first two are separated from the rest, as they keep the roleplayers engaged in looking at the characters instead of a chatbox and are therefore given priority.

- I think the free migration should be a one time only thing once and if SE announces official RP servers.
- I do not like the idea of fall damage killing our characters from certain heights, there is already the danger of going over a cliff with aggro, dropping down to 1 HP then thinking you're safe only to get whacked and die. :\ It's happened to me before. And more people would be shouting for a rez; which.. shouldn't be necessary. Plus some people; like myself, do not bind to the nearest aetheryte.
-Currently there are no houses. Inns, taverns, buildings however is what I think you meant.
-I don't think a survival system would work in this game. Though there is going to be a Chocobo: Hot and Cold game as well as other games with your Companions in the future.
-There will be new barding that is class related coming soon. Though I don't think Miner, ect. are being considered. I know that Dragoon, Whitemage, Darklight, and Blackmage barding will be coming.
-A wind orientation is a bit excessive related to a mobs smell is a bit excessive and would require a lot of programming. :\
-We will be able to build our own airships in the future so thats something to look forward to.
- I'm pretty sure there is lore for these two. Just need to do some digging.

I think the system you're talking about at the beginning of the separation is actually in use in a game called Archage. I've watched my friend play it and it's really interesting to see.
