Pole Dance Emote and Furnishing: When Do We Get It?

[CazzT]

I can't tell if this is ignorance or individuals projecting their own depravity onto others.

It's understanding history. I love that we live in a world now where being educated about history gets you called ignorant and/or depraved. Did I say love? I meant "Can we start Armageddon, please?"

You weren't talking about its history, and your post was in present tense.

Pole dancing does not have any intent other than that of an adult nature.

Oddly enough the mod community has these emotes available and not just restricted to one race or gender. It's pretty interesting to see how easy they are able to apply emotes like this to any gender as well as all the race specific emotes to other races as well.

Seems to me the developers could give us these without to much work if they so chose to do so. Will they in this case personally I don't think so but time will tell.

Modders don't have to answer to a boss, quality check, or marketing leads.

I understand that. I wasn't suggesting they didn't but on the other hand I think it does show how easy it is for modders to implement them. They don't appear to need to change the animations and use the same skeletal animations and apply them to all genders and races.

I don't think it's a question of hard to do but more so a question of other limitations and a desire to not want to do it. They appear to have a specific vision of how the game should employ emotes etc and they make their decisions based on their preferences. Personally I have no problem with race specific emotes and hope they never change that.

I'm not opposed to having these emotes in game but I suspect it won't happen.

as usually I agree with You

on here I do not - coz emote is already in game and mixers don't have to do anything about it -

it just apply emote on this or that, and it looks the same coz hello? It's emote ( check shivers for example - it's same for everyone )

But to have an Emote.. .god no, please not ever.

Except it wouldn't because they mostly have different skeletons (as in model rigging) and proportions. I'm betting swapping the animations for the pole dance into the ganglier or tinier races looks odd with no adjustment.

Why do I get the impression that some people in this thread would accuse me of being a 'degenerate' because I strip down to my underwear each time I hit the beach to go swimming?

There's nothing inherently inappropriate about showing off a fit body be it through sports or performance arts.

With that said, certain countries tend to overextend in their quest to police such things, so I won't be surprised if we don't see the emote added due to their sensibilities.

You have a strange idea of what being upset is, then.



So where is the 'adult' intent when someone signs up for a fitness pole dancing? There's well over a dozen options near me in my part of North Texas; you know, the state that's often seen as being incredibly conservative (it unfortunately is, but it also isn't; it's a lot more complicated than that, but that's another discussion altogether)

Can pole dancing be erotic? Sure. Is it always? Not even remotely. Even if it was, so what? Sensuality is natural. It's a part of life. It's harmless. No amount of yelling from a negatively biased bubble is going to change that.

Regardless of what people on here say about pole dancing or of it's real-life use, it's used as a sexually suggestive dance within the context of the game. And it doesn't appear like it's going to deviate from that use. It doesn't even need to, given how minuscule it is. If people want to dance, just do it at the beehive.

Y'all really forgot Ring of Thorns that easily, huh?

You mean a dead action that's been gone since Heavensward? The "suggestive" part of it is only suggestive out of context and it lasts for less than a second
