    Request to change /meh to /huh

    Hello, this is kind of a re-post. Re-posting because no one seems to see it in the other forum.

    I just wanted to bring up this emote to the dev team. The /meh emote is somewhat of a miss translation and I feel should be re-named or the text and animation changed.

    When using /meh without a target, it says "[Player name] looks stumped," and when using it on another character, it's "[Player name] fails to understand [target]".

    In English, or at least american English, the phrase "meh" is a slang term usually meaning "I don't care" or meaning something is not worth my time.

    I think if the wording and animation can not be changed for /meh then it needs to be re-named to /huh. Then it would be more accurate to it's animation and emote text.

    Thanks for reading my post

    god yes. I keep typing huh. I don't know why they didn't keep text commands from XI... they kept the races to make an "easier transation", right?

    Agreed. The emote name and the resulting action don't really fit as is.

    Yeah, they should have both '/meh' and '/huh' ('/huh' would get the current animations that come with '/meh').

    This belongs in the localisation section

    ...Though I see a duplicate thread there.

    Better focus all your powers in one thread!
