They already have the necessary assets from the previous game?! /facepalm[Edit] Here is another recent thread on the same topic: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/137978IIRC GW2 was built on top of GW1's game engine. What they might have is humanoid animations since humans were the only playable characters in GW1. Charr and asura most likely need tweaking regarding them. Let's not take for granted that it would be easy to bring old GW1 emotes back even for humans. Most likely there's not much additional GW2 emote content ready at this moment and some emotes being disabled is not really indicative of anything.

Shirlias.8104 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I am up for new emotes but through an expensive gemstore bundle.Since they are meaningless ( we need content, not emotes ), every single extra they add to the game should be supported by players who request it.There are probably different teams which work for gw2, but thinking that some are working on things like emotes while we have content, balance and QoL ( real one, not emotes ) hurts my feelings.

Though (yes of course we need new extensions, living story, events, balancing and all that stuff ) "content" is by definition a pretty wide term and can be anything in the game, so what is "needed" and the stuff people like is pretty personal, and even if it's not the most important thing going on, it still deserves to be considered, because it is part of the immersion which is really important to some of us. There are many vanity items such as pets, skins, etc that have no utility (and most of them don't need to be paid for with real money), so I don't see why this would not be as important as all the useless but very cool aesthetic stuff. Why not both? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzurag.7506 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Emotes that interact with the environment would be cool.Bdo, for example has such, only a few but at least it has.For example, if you press space with your back facing a wall, you´ll lean against the wall eventually.Or the ability to bind emotes to specific words that you can type in the chat.Example: The emote /laugh is binded to lol, so I can write lol in the chat, my character will laugh and what I wrote appears in the chat.

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yeah, my character has little pink hearts floating over her in combat, why can't we have that for an emote? So cute, when it isn't the effect of an evil spell.I would also like a /rant or /rage or /tantrum for those times the game is driving us crazy.And I know that all the races are equal in other ways, but wouldn't it be awesome to have racial emojis? Like maybe Charr could have /roar and silvari could have /bloom and asura could have /geekout or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightmare.1706 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I would like to see the list of Emotes from GW1 be extended to GW2, Roleplay is difficult with the limited list of emotes we currently have, and chairs are impossible to sit on. I'm sure the RP communities from other games would migrate to GW2 if more emotes were added to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutsman.6810 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 i would love to see more RP stuff in the game, 5 years ago when i jumped from gw1 to gw2 that was the first thing i noticed that was lacking, the game has almost zero RP elements to help the players. Anet should really take some notes from the community and add some RP features for us ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedek.8932 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Excelsior.I'd like to pet my Springer once in a while. I do that with the raptor by idling, but I'd like to have control over it.I'd also buy those with gems, since its cosmetics again, and the break-even point could be easily reached within short amount of time and sold in the future.That's one of the things I miss from FF14 actually, the emotes there were really top notch. aNet CAN animate, I played the firing animations of my Deadeye frame by frame, when he fires an auto attack while kneeling, it looks awesome how he even re-adjustes his trigger finger and gets ready while getting the gun from the idle state in the aiming state. So the technical and personell background is there.FF14 had a chance of the idle poses, that'd be really one of the best things so far, because in e.g. Rata Sum, people all stand around like choreographed background actors. In Final Fantasy, people lean, sit, crouch (man-cats), when sitting on benches and crates, we Lalafell could sit normally or dangle our feet, and there was even a difference of male and female animations:Now that you have mentioned that, I really wish there would be more of that, but the chances are very low. I guess, GW2 is less about hanging up and waiting for instances and more for instant action and the focus is not quite on sitting somehwere in a cosy place.You can see her dangling her feet, also, accidently the emote window is open. It has a scroll bar...and tabs... and many of them could be done while on a mount (chocobo icon) or while sitting (chair icon):I gotta admit, I miss those. People were hugging, hitting or yelling at each other, you could slap them (!) and all.On the other hand, the Asura cry and dance emotes are great and that our ears are actually showing our mood is what I appreciate, e.g. hanging down -> sad, erected -> excited, pointy -> unsure, ...

PopeUrban.2578 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Make a big enough thread about it and they'll sell them to you for 800 gems each if you're lucky, 400 gems to get a random one from a selection of 30 if you aren't.Because it's "only cosmetic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notebene.3190 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I must admit, emotes are pretty skimpy when it comes to offerings. I always thought emotes (and idle animations) would be great things to offer in the gem store (ducks).I think most of the bigger games have many emotes, no? Even going back to Anarchy Online, which came out around the time fire and the wheel were discovered, had lots of fun emotes. I specifically recall a back flip being one of my favorites. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeknar.6184 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The only emotes I need will never be added for being offensive... But damn, I could really use a /middlefinger to some people in this game. And a /chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make it so When you do the emote the other player has to accept the request to hug, or make it so that just pressing any movement key stops the hug and you have to be standing right next to them to initiate it, so people can't use it to teleport you off of ledges/grief.A over optimistic list of all the other emotes I would like to see:/Eat,/Drink,/High Five @,/Stretch,/Sorry,/Sorry @,/Clap,/Clap @,/Surrender,/Surrender @,/Praise @,/Cuddle (A continuous hug)In fact, + all of the emotes from GW1 would be awesome.FYI To Bear Hug means to hug tightly enough to make recipient of the hug unable to move their upper body or arms.

Tenrai Senshi.2017 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 One thing I'd really like to see is emotes integrated with our mounts, or, at the very least, unique emotes we can use while mounted. It would be pretty fun to have a "play fetch" emote, or even a "sleep" emote while mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one Asura who would literally go up to everyone and hug them. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
