Greetings!

I love beautiful new dance emotes and Dancer personality in Carnaval crown crates, huge thanks to everyone involved in creating them <3
For me, Dancer personality is worth a standalone DLC, because it allows to use weapons as dancing props - turning all dances into even more spectacular/funny performances. Simply perfect! :smiley:

My characters did lot of dancing for the past week. So after I reviewed my video collection from such gameplay, some scenes inspired me to record two longer different-themed video tributes.

Great player homes make stunning backgrounds for both videos! And because of new awesome moves, I dressed my character in different costumes which I never actually used, discovered some hair styles which move when she moves too, and applied cool body art and two funny make-up options which none of my characters ever used before!

First tribute is themed around Jester's Festival, mad god Sheogorath, playful Harley Quinn and some evil circus ringmaster. It all started when my character decided to dance with Dark Delirium Senche and butterflies :D

For most of scenes, I've used all emotes from new crates.

Second tribute is themed around "after dark" entertainment, this was the first thing I imagined when I looked at the Featherdance Recall :)

Now, the sad part, which - I hope - changes to fun part in near future. In both videos I could only use amazing moves from Recall animation in preview :'(
Please, add an emote based on the character's movement from this recall animation. I'm open to any option of adding it! <3

But, to keep the high-price value of this cosmetic item, there is a viable example in Diamond Anniversary crates - when a Shackled Titan mount gets additional special summoning effect if a player also uses Molag Bal polymorph with it. You could add these moves as /dance3 emote for Dancer personality, if player also owns Featherdance Carnaval Recall. This way, the Recall doesn't become obsolete item, and players get options to use this animation for parties/epic screenshots.

Reasons why I can't properly enjoy Recall animation:

1. Special effects are not fitting with most of role-play situations for my characters.

I've previewed the Recall in the pool, and water hid most of the special effects - not perfect, but it looked so much better in parts where no feathers were shown!

Default effects ruining the club atmosphere:

The only time when special effects didn't really ruin the atmosphere for me - when I covered them with brighter green effects. But it was usable only in preview, because I'm not randomly traveling out of the Infinite Archive :D

2. To play full dance sequence, my character would have to travel somewhere each time - and this is not good at all. The final epic pose is very difficult to time perfectly for screenshot - because the character's body starts disappearing in green silhouette.

The striking final pose while the green legs are hidden by apple basket:

Default, when the pose is ruined by effects (this character is usually wearing outfit which covers whole body and head, so in this preview she looks scary overall):

3. Recall can't be used to create synchronized dance performances with other players. Synchronizing these passionate moves would look epic, if this was an emote!

Even if the dance ended with character freezing in this pose, it would be good. But for 100% perfection (and so that players can enjoy the movement sequence without having to activate the emote every few seconds), the pose could last a second, and then the character would repeat the dancing moves.

I hope designers see my tributes and feedback.Thank you!
