PETITION: Permanent expressions!

[Iscah]

I don't even have my camera zoomed in enough to see other characters' expressions most of the time.

No thanks, I don't want to see 1000 catgirls with the Ouch face. Aka eyes closed mouth open. Just no.

It's optional and doesn't effect you.

I support!

Sure, I support it. Although if this feature is added, I think it would be limited to only a few facial expressions.

[Hazama999]

Sure, don't see why not.

Personally, I think it's weird as all get out to see characters running around with a frozen expression on their face, which is why the "neutral expression" one works well.

Then again, it's hard to argue about something being weird or unnatural when people park their characters in odd locations like facing a wall in the back of the map for perpetuity.

I realised the downfall of... probably the whole thing really, but certainly the "set for X seconds" apptoach is that emotes would only get sent to other characters within view at the point you perform it - anyone arriving at the zone later would miss the instruction.

Still, personally I'd be happy with it even if it was client-side only.

Some of the expression emotes are pretty neutral anyway. There are several different smile emotes and some are fine as a "resting face" that looks friendly rather than grumpy.
