/bread and /read emote

[Valic]

I got the /bread-emote and was disappointed. It's fake-eating, you see them taking a bite and chewing but the bread is still whole without a missing bite in it. I was like "What are you chewing at? The damn bread is still in your hand!"

After playing Aion, I could say the same exact thing because they at least remove chunks of it per bite but tbh..... I don't mind it being whole, you could just say they're taking smaller bites out of it. The emote itself is fine as it is in that notion for what we have, but not looping feels like such a waste.

I bought the read emote hoping it would loop but NOPE I feel like I wasted a million. Really bad design since we actually do need more looping emotes. I dont' want to afk with boxing or sweating, this would of been a game changer.

Yeah, when NPC's make use of emotes out in the game world they're always looped - so it'd be nice to have that same ability as well.

Also, why isn't the /insist looping as well? I would love more continuous talking emotes, just like /scheme and /reprimand

To be fair, that's race exclusive and I can see why this one isn't looped. On Au Ra males it's the emote that makes them look like they're furious with someone.

I'm deeply disappointed that the eating emote isn't /nom. :<

I wonder is there any way to loop it via macro ?

With <wait.14> you can make it seemless on the loop. 15 makes you still drop the book.

That gives you 3 and a half minutes.

So pretty much is 14 lines of /bread <wait.11> for seamless and by ending it with whatever way you can repeat it :/
So there is no way to forward it to next macro?

Nope. It stops there and it's also nonstop in that one macro so you'll repeat it even when you wanted to stop.

I'm grateful for the emote. That said... add my bit of disappointment to the "why is this not looped?" pile.

As mentioned above, this isn't the only emote that could benefit from looping... and hell, I'd like to know the reason some aren't looped.
/scheme and /sweat go on forever but the basic conversation (think it might be /converse) emote doesn't?

...Why?

I agree and disagree with converse. While I would like it to be looped, I know we see it occasionally from dialogue NPC's give us and it's just a one time thing. I would like to think this gives them the excuse to give us the emotes for things that are constant like the merchant shop seller pitching emote you can see some NPC's doing at their ships like in the Azim Steppe. Or some more constant conversation emotes you see NPC's doing. Then again, if you just /scheme then /smile, this works just as well. But yeah, /bread and /read should definitely be looped seeing as they're already looped twice to begin with. No reason to abruptly stop them when they clearly continue and can continue flawlessly.
