"Most Gentlemanly" pose

[Grekumah]

Greetings,

We have read through the comments here and can understand your feelings regarding the Hildibrand emote.

Since Hildibrand is a very popular character that players want to emulate, we introduced his special pose so they could have fun pretending to be their favorite detective. I understand that there can only be one Highlander… pose, but we ask that you appreciate that other adventurers have taken such a strong interest in your style.

As for the request to add a new pose for Highlanders, although we understand your feelings, we currently do not have any plans to add this.

This is just a hypothetical, but say in the future we added another popular NPC from another race, and that NPC is cherished by everyone, just as Hildibrand has captivated us, and then adventurers fall in love with that NPC; in that case we may do something similar to what we did this time.

In the future, if we decide to add individual race-specific poses, we’ll use all your suggestions during the planning process.

B-b-u.. p-p.. pff.. Fine.. It makes sense to emulate; although, I'm curious if anyone will ever want to emulate anyone but the Highlanders because.. why would you not?

(If someone is bored and wants to add another race specific pose, Hildibrand /and/ Godbert have a bunch of other poses we could use... *nudge nudge*)

Thanks for replying

Not really race specific, but I was thinking Shantotto's laugh would be something people may want to emulate.

There are these things called eyebrows. We don't have them or a pose now!(hint: give us eyebrows)

Highlanders should get Hildy's "thinking" pose.

and this plz

Then you would be no Highlander anymore, but just a big Midlander.
This is like asking Moon Keepers to have the Sun Seekers eyes.

To SE: I see some options to resolve it
1. Give Highlanders a new unique /pose, so they also get a new emote from 2.5 and not one they already have
2. Give Highlanders at least the /pose of the Midlanders, so it would be the Hyur /pose

And don't give racial /pose as a quest reward to other races anymore, do a complete new emote for this.
I don't want to see male Roegadyns doing the female Miqo'te /pose, as an example ^^

I think the thing about the eyebrows however, is that Highlander men do have eyebrows we just ritually shave them off every morning. Its not so much a physiological difference as a cultural one (which is why "if" they made movements about movements and not about identifying a race (as they are now) I'd be ok with everyone being able to do everything, even though that would probably make some really creepy moments)

like:

lol

The minor damage has been done, I'd still like my eyebrows and in my own opinion I found your offerings more than fair- but it is good that they said they'll consider this sort of response in the future. We're currently with races who's identities are excluded to make the little behaviors represent the race, and I can see your argument on eyebrows in this- I just .. really.. want.. my brows.. :P. For this quest reward though, SE took a unique turn by stopping that sense of restricted identity, and I expect the exact same thing to happen if they did it to any other racial animation. At least if it was an animation people liked and felt associated them to their race, I imagine for some male Roe animations no male roe would care about losing... eheheheh-haha.

Well when there is a "big midlander" option with eyebrows let me know. So yeah, just add an eyebrow option(it's not like highlanders couldn't just stop shaving them anyway, it's nothing like your miquote arguement). lol

Thank you for replying! Finally dev listen our request

This is extremely generic. And thats not HIS special pose its highlander pose because he is a highlander. So as to your response, there are several very popular characters that I wish to emulate, please tell devs to add costumes and emotes for all. I need thancreds backflip, and minfilias wonder bra.

On a serious note though, my main is highlander and I was kind of disappointed to see everyone can have this but also hoped it might mean they would unlock the other poses or give a new one. But you say there are no plans for that either? thats a bad call and we shouldve gotten his /think pose not his RACIAL pose.
