/emote suggestion 'campfire'

I dont know if this a sarcasm Thread but still yeah i would liked something similar like lay on wall

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.

No offense and I know this idea is completely crazy.

Couldn't we just talk to each other instead?

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!

[Nerfworthy]

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.

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.

Seems like its their go to excuse for a lot of things nowadays.

I like the idea
