More Emotes

Stovahkiin

I agree about having the head tracking, that would be nice.

Giraffon

Ah! A brainstorming session! Some great ideas already mentioned. Here are a few thoughts:


* put a number after the instrument to change songs (ie: /lute3)
* put a number after the /dance to dance differently
* more sitting positions - the default looks uncomfortable! (ie: /sit1 /sit2 etc)
/leapfrog - could be funny if you get a couple people doing it
/wagtail - if you have one
/raiseweapon - raise your equipped weapon over your head to celebrate a win
/shadowbox - yeah, I can see people using this one a lot
/pounce - Throw yourself on the ground belly first with hands cupped in front of you as if you just caught that little frog, rat, or whatever.
/trantrum - gotta' rage?

I might be back later to suggest more...this is kind of fun!

i would like to see the Ace Ventura "Can you feel that" for when I take out a particularly irritating player or mob (/feelthat)

how about a sympathy worlds-smallest violin one (rubbing fingers together, playing "my bleeding heart") need one for both hands. /whineon and /whineonstereo

also, for when you walk up on someone doing the *** breton dances (among others) /laughunitlvomit

is there a crazy one for peeps randomly dancing in the desert (happened across peeps dancing alone in the remote areas) /theyareloco

it would feel very satisfying to have an emote where I throw my sword and shield (or whatever) down on the ground, jump up and down on it, maybe breath fire on it, then calmly pick everything back up as if nothing happened, maybe call it /ragequitaborted . Especially after i have somehow gotten off my horse (for no reason) after the 10-20th time in a row. I usually start using choice words on the 5th time i mount and 2 seconds latter dismount, by the 8th i start wishing I had a/guthorse emote, but i know it is not her fault.

please no twerk, just no

All this.

I would like for my Nord lass to be able to shamble along drunkenly, with a mug of mead in one hand. Every time I travel to Windhelm I feel left out, somehow.

Shadowbane had the best emote ever, /crotch chop

AC2 had a /gocart. You would sit on the ground and you could drive a go cart.

I think different dance emotes would be good. Having /dance restricted to one type associated with your race is too restrictive. I'd like to be able to do some of the other dances as well.

Also, and I don't know if this really counts as an emote, but I would like to see head tracking. You're standing talking to someone, and you're both staring straight ahead. I play a Bosmer and the hubby plays an Altmer, and my character is always looking at his chest because she can't look up at him.

There are multiple dances. I think the problem is people aren't aware of how many emotes there actually are.

/scratchbutt and /fart

I'm juvenile, but I used to love highlighting someone in WoW and doing /fart.

We really need the following -

/kissit

Character turns round, bends forward slightly and slaps their butt. By far the most useful PvP emote. Guaranteed to annoy the enemy when your stood on the battlements...lol

CaffeinatedMayhem

Can players use /coinflip please? It's perfect my character when waiting for my group to show up for a dungeon...

GunemCleric

person said /coinflip which sounds really cool, but also made think....what about class specific.

The NB (rogue/thief sense) could do the /coinknukleroll or /cardtrick

DK /coughfire or /cookpotato or /polishchain or /shakebanner (like shaking dust from carpet)

Sorc /petminions or /scoldminions or /readspellbook (the last one have a blue light like a lorebook)

I have yet to play Templar enough to get a feel for something distinct

And all the other emotes from emotetoy
Nothing harmful about these emotes and if they are immersion breaking to some well then... you do have an ignore option for a reason, and you have a camera, so point it away. But I would really like to see all these emotes added in the next patch, and seeing as how they're in game but not accessible to players. I don't see how it would take very much effort.... but I'm not a game designer so

devolutedub17_ESO

There should be a /catcall whistle or maybe /arooga if you are a werewolf.

Nebb

I too would love the npc emotes beeing added back, and the /hug emote is very missing

The sorcerer should play with his storm-magic like some npcs do with their fire! I'd be happy enough if they'd just copy that though

Giraffon

Here are a couple more:

/shoveldirt - bury that special someone in PvP!
/sleepstanding - sign of boredom
/faintstaydown - same as faint only you don't get up
/rage - already mentioned tantrum, but LOVED the idea of throwing shield on ground and jumping on it. Maybe lots of "rage" versions with numbers (/rage1, /rage2, etc) - use Looney Tunes for inspiration

Still having fun with this...more later!

Regarding emotes:

• Let us combine emotes, like /sitchair then /drink. Or /leanback then /flipcoin
• When performing an emote, let it stay even when opening a menu like character sheet or inventory.
• Let torch emote be used while moving.

New emotes I would like to see in game:

• /cleanweapon Character grabs his weapon and cleans it with a towel, looped.
• /charge A war shout to look fierce before battle.
• /warmhands Your character rub and warm his hands. (To be done near the fire )
• /prone Your character lay on the ground but looking forward, like a scout on the top of a mountain overlooking the enemies.
• /drink3 Drink from a bottle

That's what I remember for now.

More Emotes? We have so many, thats great.

But:
Let us use them during other actions, like combat.

And one major point I raised in a thread 2 months ago:

Why are the emotes not in the chat window, something like:
Jessica sits down on a chair.

Just like in wow. Most of the time you will never notice the more subtle emotes.

Grayphilosophy

An idea occured to me, it might either be genious or....rambling madness.

Some "seat friendly" sitting emotes.

I've noticed a lot of times when people want to sit around they're either sitting stiffly in that /sitchair emote or they're scattered across the floor/ground in various seating positions. Then the occasional brave soul takes up the challenge and curls up in a ball or on their knees or some other ridiculous way of sitting ontop of a crate or large rock. It's almost as if noone ever figured out how to just sit their arse down on medium height objects.

So my idea is this. An emote, or series of emotes, that /seat your character on its arse with its feet dangling off the imaginary edge of whatever you're sitting on.

Yeees yees you'll be dangling your feet through the ground if you just use it while standing on the ground, but if you stand ontop of a treestump, trunk, rock, corpse, comfy looking chair etc. and do the /seat, it should look like you're just sitting down on that, without having your legs sticking straight out in the air because your sitting animation was designed for sitting on the ground.

A hiss and flash of fangs would be great for vampires.

I second this.... I want to be able to strut through low-level areas with my vets and laugh at the level 6 mobs that try to kill me.

that is funny, got me thinking...

How about a WW transform emote (again only if you have the gift). just like other emotes, no movement/walking around with it, instantly gone if anything real happens. but it would be cool to stand around with the guild in ww form without wasting the 1000ish Ult.

Maybe vamps could have bat form and the WW could swip at them is close enough

AngryWolf

A Rally Cry emote would be cool.

Yam_of_the_Center

New emotes sound great, but how about access to those already in the game which we as players don't have access to? It seems as a first step that would be much easier and more immediate.

On the other hand, perhaps I just am not aware of them all...? A way to list them in the console via slash command would be nice. I've never seen an actual, official list of them anywhere, just articles on fansites or postings in forums.

Thanks for the reply! Here comes the feedback:

Stances! Wholesale emotes that change the way my character does basic things, like how they stand, how they run, jump, etc. These could be changed just like emotes, only they are in effect until you log. This would completely change how a character is perceived by others and our individuality.

More dance options! I'm all fine and dandy with default race-based dances, but isn't that profiling? Does my Imperial HAVE to dance like everyone else? Can't I learn, somehow, to dance like, say, a breton?

More /lute, /drum, /flute options! Because there are a bunch of songs, and being a bard is more than one rhythm! Just give us the variety, and let us see what we can make with it!

Link '/afk' command to emotes! So that our player can start performing a variety of emotes by typing /afk. Guess this could be handled by mod.

Let us automatically emote with sections of NPC's or other players! This is a little bit more imposing, I know, but if I walk up to an NPC and talk to them, as I'm selecting options, my character should emote! And those NPC's standing in groups? Let me walk up to them and automatically begin emoting with them if I stand still for a short period of time (ala Assassins Creed and blending). Same with other groups of players.

A faster /walk command! Because walking is fine, and it's very immersive, but there is such a thing as walking with a purpose. We don't have to run EVERYWHERE, but unluckily, the game doesn't give us variances in run speed like other games do. Some faster walking and jogging in the form of a toggle would be nice.

Thanks again for jumping in here!

Pretty sure there are already like 8 /sit positions in game.

fallensbane_ESO

Here is a thought. Take all those little trophy items every has, you know the ones that either end up on a bank alt collecting dust or destroyed and make them consumables that grant that animation/effect as an unlocked emote.

I second this. I've been looking around the UI forever and can't find a list or box where the emotes are listed. Or perhaps I just never found it even though they're there...
Whatever the case, more sounds nice, but I simply can't remember them all.

This is exactly what the addon Emotetoy did but due to changes with API the addon is now broken we cannot use it any longer. It had every single emote an NPC could play and gave it access to the players
