Emote Changes/Suggestions

Lynx7386

I know they're not a top priority, but emotes are an important part of the game for a lot of us, especially the roleplayers.

Here's a few changes/improvements/additions I'd like to see added:

Music
Currently we have the lute, the flute, and the drum. The lute seems to have a good 4-5 different songs that it cycles through, and all of them sound good. The drum only has one beat, though, and the flute only has one song - neither of which match either each other or the lute as far as tempo and sound go.

---Change these emotes to something like /flute1, /flute 2, /lute1, /lute2, /drum1, /drum2, so on and so forth, each with a different song/beat that matches the corresponding number for other instruments. This means if one player does /flute1, and another nearby does /lute1, and another does /drum1, they'll all sound like they're working together to play the same song; the drum beat will match the lute and flute.
---Add a /sync command that can be used while playing the lute, flute, or drum emotes, and will synchronize the sound between all nearby players who are playing instruments.
---Add a /flourish command that can be used while playing the lute, flute, or drum emotes, and will (at the next good spot in the tune) add a little bit of a change to the song, like a solo section.

Magic Emotes
Currently we have /juggleflame, and that's fun and all... but it doesnt fit every character out there. What if you're playing an ice mage? Or a storm mage? What if you're a templar using sun magic, or a nightblade using shadow magic? Some new emotes could be put into effect here for those wizardly characters to show off while idle.

Suggested additions:
/Snowflake your character conjures up a shimmering flake of ice above his hand, floating in the air, and will whoosh it back and forth between hands just like when doing /juggleflame (with a snowfall effect when the flake moves).
/sparks again, similar to /juggleflame, your character plays with little bolts of lightning that twirl up his or her arms and arc back and forth between your hands.
/shadowdance a dancing animation, where your character periodically 'teleports' around with little puffs of black and red smoke (like the ambush/invisibility effect for nightblades, thinking something like nightcrawler here).
/divine For the templar, some kind of personal levitation where you're surrounded by a yellow/white glowing aura and some sunfire held out in your hands.
/portal for the sorcerors, read from a book with one hand while conjuring up a purple portal in front of you with the other. After the portal opens, you could have some kind of clawed hand or tentacle swipe out of it, narrowly missing the character who quickly closes the portal in reaction.



Any other emote changes or additions you guys would like to see?

I would love to see something like /sillydance or something like that. Just a fun little dance emote (something like the Napoleon dance maybe). But then the immersion crowd would have a fit.

Yeah but its not the fun type of drunk dancing. Its the sad I-will-end-up-in-a-gutter-type drunk dancing.
