/emote suggestion 'campfire'

[Gemina]

I figured this might be a good emote to use if one or more people abandon a duty, and you're stuck waiting around for DF to find more members, or just out in the open world chatting with some other peeps.

Whach'y'all think?

I second this. Also, obligatory request for persistent /read and /write emotes.

Hellluuuuuu maybe?

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.

I like the idea, but a question asked during he recent Live Event touched on something similar, and their answer suggested it's not technically feasible.

Q. I want to build a tent on the Azime steppes.

A. I'm sorry, but we would need to rebuild the game from scratch in order to do that. There was a time we thought about having a "bonfire" minion, but the fire created a lot of stress, so the idea was shelved.

That's a shame! I like the idea of having an emote to use for those times when you're just waiting around. Suggestions such as a persistent /read & /write and /lean on wall or tree sound like they would not be hard to implement. I would like to add the idea of /converse where your character engages in small talk with a targeted person.

No offense and I know this idea is completely crazy.

Couldn't we just talk to each other instead?

Nonsense. I didn't sign up for a massively multiplayer online game to interact with others.

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.

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.
