Kalli.4506 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I am one of those who enjoy playing around with emotes while waiting for something or just for fun when socializing. I got really surprised and a bit dissapointed that a big game like GW2 had so few emotes.Having more animated emotes to play around with would be really fun, it is also a fun way to express some of your characters personality for those who like that. I think adding some more standard emotes would be a good idea and the rest could be like 'exclusive' emotes for gems. I wouldnt mind spending gems on a emote pack with alot of different animated emotes in it. It could be anything from different sitting poses to eat/drink, pass out, blow a kiss, pick your nose, you name it. And if you want to make more money you could release more emote packs.To make it lazyfriendly to use, it would be cool to implement a emote-skill bar where you can access all your unlocked emotes. Ofcourse you will be able to open/hide it by clicking on a button that is placed somewhere smart or by a keybind.What emotes would you like to see in the game?

rapthorne.7345 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I for one welcome the idea of gem store emote packs (though I do say that as a 100% biased gem store whale). Having recently been playing both ESO and Final Fantasy XIV, alongside some other Asian MMO's, there few emotes GW2 does have are very.... I want to say lacking but I don't think that's the right way to put it.I'm playing a game right now that has interactive emotes, where one character can perform emotes directly with another character (not just near them or in their general direction), and it adds so much immersion and (for those in to it) role play potential.It would be nice to see GW2 grow in this regard, allowing us more ways to express ourselves in the world.

SJWhat.9237 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm just tired of sitting on the floor. How about we all carry a folding chair with us at all times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalli.4506 Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 I would say it feels a bit suppressed with so few emotes.I played a japanese mobile MMO once and it had tons of emotes, it even had a emote where the character stumbled and fell to the ground while running. Interactive emotes are really cool. An MMO i played years ago had an emote where you could pick up and hold other characres but only if the other player approved it.

Chadramar.8156 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yes, the game could definitely do with some more emotes. As I recall, the batch that they added during LS3 were well-received. I kinda miss /rude from WoW for when some NPC is being a tosser and/or forcing me to sit through a monologue before the inevitable fight. Being able to properly sit down should be a must, especially for female characters, because that weird one-armed yoga pose they do looks silly, uncomfortable, and definitely doesn't work on chairs.I also wouldn't mind an /afk toggle like in WoW.

Inazuma.2795 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 More emotes would be fun :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irreverent.3594 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Really doubt they will spend resources on free new emotes.So a themed 5 (or more) emote pack with quality emotes for like 400 gems...Yeah i can dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyra.4709 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I really want a faceplant emote. Like the one where your character jumps off a high ledge and just splats onto the ground. That would be useful. And nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalli.4506 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'd like to have more variations of sitting and sleeping emotes. I really like the way asura sleep and would love to be able to use that on my other characters aswell. And ofcourse alot other emotes that we dont have now. A faceplant emote would be fun :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More or less 100g ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One emote is around £4 something I think. Not even multiple emotes, just one emote. People buy them. Granted, no one adds content like FFXIV does and they've added a load of emotes for free, a lot of them even getting their own quest chain. I wouldn't be against GW2 putting them in the cash shop purely for the fact that that is where the game makes most of its money. It's a big want for a lot of people so not cashing in on it would stupid from a business standpoint. For example, seasonal emotes, like a Halloween emote pack would sell extremely well I think.

They are cashing in on outfits so why not on emote packs that imo are much more fun and useful than outfits.I really like the idea of seasonal emote packs. A Halloween emote pack could contain a /exorcist emote where the characters head rotate, a new dance, /levitate, /zombiewalk and other stuff like that.
