New animations/emotes

[ckorik]

First - I want the ability to sit in a meditative stance on my monk - that doesn't end in 15 seconds.

suggestion : /med makes your character assume the monk meditate stance without any actual in game effect

Second - I'd like more emotes and animations - the dances are kind of goofy - although the druid forms rock - could we get some coolness there?

And what's up with the lack of emotes...

/bonk *needs* to be in the game :P

Character Creation has Sheathe/Holster animations and position profiles for the weapons.

Why, after all these years, isn't that stuff in the actual game yet?

Well I'd like to keep this from being a 'why Turbine?' thread and instead focus on things I'd like to see added to the game that wouldn't really take huge amounts of coding.

Emotes are in game - getting more emotes can't be that hard - most don't even have animations.

The monk med stance is in game and works for all player models... so it shouldn't be hard to tie to a new emote/command.

The sheath animations (as you pointed out) are in the character creation screen - as they have to exist for all the models it does make sense that they could add these into the game without huge resources..

Not all the dances are goofy. The female half-elf has a very beautiful dance that resembles ballet, though I will admit that the other female half-elf dance is goofy (looks like a high school cheerleader I think).

More animations would be nice though. They would give us something to entertain each other with while we're waiting for the PuG to fill.

I want a "moon" emote.
Us WF can do our best Bender impression. "Bite my shiney metal ..."

/sheathe exists, but it's been broken for so long, I've forgotten what it looked like.

I get around this broken animation by dragging an empty weapon group box into a hotbar and clicking on it when I'm finished with a quest. Does the same thing and lasts as long as I want it to.

I just checked and /sheathe got fixed at some point. It works now!
