/fume

[Velo]

Hey Eemeefu,

I have a few things for emotes I would like to see, maybe some others would agree with me. I would like to have a /sigh emote for those times when you just need to... well sigh. Someone is taking forever to come so you can target them and sigh. Another one is /smile. It was always nice in FFXI to exchange a warm smile with a jp player or a friend.

These are two that I try to type often.

I always try typing /molest and /eviscerate but sadly, those never work

With the benefit of hindsight, we aren't crazy about /fume either, and have been leaning towards changing it to something a bit fouler and much more fun to type. We've been kicking around a few ideas (like /damnit), but have to run them by some people to make sure they are allowed under the game's current rating. Hence the late reply to this thread. Soz for that!

Unfortunately, it's too late to sneak this or any other emote changes into 1.18. The UI team has informed us, however, that we should be able to tweak emotes as much as we like in 1.19. Until then, I can only /ask that you /grin and /bearit... (crickets chirping) I... I'm sorry.



Feel free to post any other suggestions you have for emote commands or emote-related log text. We consider emotes to be extremely important, as they are often the primary means of communication between players in different regions, and so we are always amenable to improving their clarity wherever possible.



Duly noted!

Games rating? Isnt it already Rated at least T for teen? if not it should be, the way the NPC's already be talkin.

/molest never worked for me either, so i just made my own macro for it

Ive always wanted a /Thanks or /Thankyou emote.

Thumbups works, kind of, but isnt quite it.

/fume should be changed to /tantrum


/silly emote would be nice too, randomly picks from 5 silly joke/motions

[Nixius]

Pleeeeease can we have /grin

[Tempestmoon]

/shun <Yes please>

Shun the non believers! Shunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

A lot of great suggestions here. I would also like to see the following dramatic change:

In XI, emotes could be performed while running. There'd be no animation, but at least it would show in the chatlog.

I know it would be a significant amount of work, but it would add *SO* much to the immersion *AFTER ALL THE OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF IS DONE* if running/riding emotes were available.

I would love to be able to see someone wave as they run by, and actually see the waving action.

If not running emotes, at least riding emotes would be great, and would require much less work.
