/Emote Request's

[Rhomagus]

How did Answa and Bulwarkz's comments get in this thread? When I click the arrow in their quotes it takes me a post by ArnoMorely in this thread but not to their quote.

Read the OP's title.

English is my second language, but I'm not dumb enough to identify "she's" as a mistake. Because... it's not. "Request's" is. Now kindly shut up.

Also, while my comment was (as well as this one is) off topic, it was not an insult at all. I've literally always wondered why people do that so often.

EDIT: (to avoid making more posts and turning this into a flame war)



I'm not constantly badgering people. It was just a light-hearted comment that's not even remotely hurtful. I'm sorry you take it as if I'm trying to offend anyone, but that's not the intention here. I tend to have a short fuse on these forums, because the people seriously get on my nerves. This was not one of those occassions. In fact, I'll delete that comment now if it so offends you.

I was wrong about who you directed it at, but still - you're constantly badgering people's posts instead of talking about whatever thoughts they're posting. We've gone over this before; I tend to ignore you, but again I misunderstood who you were taking a shot at this time. So, I still stand by:

lol glitch.

Their referring to a topic that happened 2 weeks ago that has nothing to do with /emotes or even the off topic subject of gay undertones in VII?

[Rhomagus]

why so you hate gays so much?

is adding anything in a game thats even the slightest bit affemanite that bad?

and the fabulous im talking about has NEVER been gay, its just been about "looking good" and "flashy" (not just any old outfit/average)

sure others may make it a gay joke thing, and thats fine too, if you look good, you look good lol

I'm not a homophobe nor do I condone the suppression of gay related content but wouldn't /me,/examineself, and /pose do just what you are asking here "Looking good/flashy"? Unless /fabulous is actually doing something else I don't see the need to implement it unless you are joking. If you're joking then just say you're joking.

He deleted his posts, since he noticed I wasn't even talking to him/about him. He was calling me arrogant and other stuff and linked to old posts where I used phrases just to counter some of his points (in paragraph form), which got him mad and stuff. I guess he thinks I target him?

I think the rainbow flashes on that oft-used highlander pic would be amazing to have as a /fabulous.

They said they will. Permanently.

Most of these are fine, just none of that fabulous crap please god.

Don't ruin the game for those of us who aren't gay >.>

It's already been said to you and I don't want to belabor the point, but since you don't seem to really understand it I'd like to say it as plainly as possible:

Being effeminate or flashy has nothing to do with being gay, except for a tired old, untrue stereotype. Some gay people are fem or flashy, and many are not. Some straight people are fem or flashy too, many aren't, etc etc etc. Either way it isn't a big deal.

It's fine that the "fabulous" stuff isn't your cup of tea, but in that case just don't use /fabulous or go to the "fabulous" joke threads! Other people having fun with the "fabulous" joke and the campy, flashy things things in-game won't ruin your experience, I promise. Unless you let it.

Basically, this:

(that video is awesome xD)

Anyway, back on topic, I think that things like /slap, /hug, /blowkiss where the emote involves another player, there should be "response" emotes the other player can respond with. See:

Example:

1.Quina Quon targets Vivi Orunitia and enters "/hug"

emote pops up: Quina Quon attempts to give Vivi Orunitia a hug! (animation of Quina walking up to Vivi with open arms)

Then:

2a. Vivi Orunitia enters "/y"

emote pops up: Vivi Orunitia accepts Quina Quon's kind embrace. (animation of Quina and Vivi hugging)

Or:

2b. Vivi Orunitia enters "/n"

emote pops up: Vivi Orunitia coldly denies Quina Quon's hug! (animation of Vivi Orunitia folding arms and looking away coldly and Quina Quon lowering his/her head and arms sadly)

Or:

2c. Vivi Orunitia doesn't type anything after 15 seconds

emote pops up: Vivi Orunitia doesn't react to Quina Quon's open arms. (no animation for Vivi and Quina Quon lowers his/her arms and scratches his/her head in confusion.)

For /slap maybe there could be an option for the "receiving" player to /block it, which would have a 50% chance of being successful or failing!

I dunno how hard this would be to program, but damn, would it be cool

It's fine that the "fabulous" stuff isn't your cup of tea

Yeah and that was really my whole point, which the same can be said about the people who don't agree with me. If they don't like my opinion they don't have to, but it doesn't have to turn into "omg! he doesn't like fabulous things, get him!" or the whole political correctness side of it.

Back to emotes, what's that thing people do in RL (I think it means up yours) where they cross one arm like - and bring the other one up like |. I think that'd be funny

[Niqote]

/ankle can carry on after /sit to cross legs like some of the NPCs do (ie. one in miner's guild who tells me two ladies can have fun together... meow)

actualy, the reason some jumped on you is cuz you said you dont want the gay, go back and read what you wrote in your first post on it and youll see what you wrote that probly offended ALOT of people

[ArnoMorley]

@TheVedis
That's why I said "or the whole political correctness side of it", is it so unheard of for people to use that to describe something? It's not saying you don't want THEM, it's because a 3 letter word is simpler than calling something "effeminate", spend time with a group of college or hs people, everytime it's something somebody doesn't like they say it. Any logical person knows what I meant but people had to make a political statement over it.

Read some articles in a neutral place at what people said about XI when the mog expansion came out. People ripped into that like a starving pitt bull on a hamburger. What I said was NOTHING. I certainly didn't or wouldn't use the variation of the word some people do.

And I'm all for multiple person emotes if that's possible in 2.0 (I remember somebody asking a dev about that in the original version, and it wasn't really)
