Can we talk?

I would like for my characters to have a few words to say along with some of their emotes. Maybe instead of /greet just waving my toon can also say hi, hello, or greetings. I'm not looking for big dialog, just a few words or phrases. We already pick out a voice but then we only grunt, yell, gasp, laugh, and cheer. Just a little more use of voice would be nice.

With the option to turn off character voices, because I know some players couldn't care less and won't want to hear it.

What would you like your characters to say?

    Can you imagine how annoying that would-be in heavy populated areas? Its bad enough having to turn off area chat every two minutes because someone's playing *** pop down there microphone. It would be like playing abes odyssey, hello, hello, follow me, ok..... No thankyou very much

    I'd like my character to just constantly say (in a loud voice): "Did you hear? Some stranger saved King Casimir's life!"

    If you are on PC you can just /say right before, after or even during your emote depending on how fast you type. :)

    i hate "move away, now!" so rude, always by some sorcerer rounding up the mobs and spamming AOE's to grind XP. Probably the underlying reason we don't have an AOE taunt else vengence would be mine.

    so id like to say "Make Me"
    I'd also accept being able to perform "rude gesture" though for me it would be a race specific gesture not actually flipping the bird or w/e the term is these days

    I agree, I always thought it was such a huge waste of time to select a voice for your character when the only thing you hear from them is AHHHHHHHH! AHHHHG etc.

    Mine would say "FIX THE PVP LAG PLEASE....NOT NEXT PATCH....NOW PLEASE......"

    We can talk about crappy subject lines. They are the worst and should be Flame Whipped, Sniped, Upper Cutted, and Jesus Beamed all at once.

    I can't read the subject line without hearing Joan River's voice in my head.

    And I can't write what I'd like my characters to say without getting booted from the forum, so I'll just leave it to everyone's imagination.

    I think just blaintly ignoring him, even going out if your way to screw up his pulls would be enough to say 'no'.

    Vindictiveness. It's an awesome thing to have.

    If you had read the post you would have seen that the subject line was actually on point. The thread is specifically about the possibility of having our characters actually talk.

    I see your annoying voice emote and raise you. I would like my character to say in a loud and emotive voice, "It's here!" over and over and over. You know, so the new players can experience what we did in the Rift for months. :)

    I have often thought about this. Especially considering that you can choose between several voices when creating a character. You can somewhat hear their voices when you laugh and cheer, but that's about it.

    I'd like something along these lines:
    * A "greeting" and a "farewell"
    * Humming or singing (just a random "la-la-la" song would be fine)
    * Remarks, like "okay", "yes", "no", "please", "thank you", "no thank you", "good job", "help!", "over here!", etc.
    * The possibility to do emotes while mounted.
    But the remarks should be as neutral as possible, so that they cannot be used in a negative manner (no need to give trolls more ammunition).

    This will most probably never happen, but a girl can dream :innocent:

    "It's here!" over and over and over.

    You guys made me laugh so hard! Thanks for all the feedback. And for those who don't want to hear it, I did say they should include an option to turn off character voices.

    BTW, I use the whistle sometimes in a dungeon to get the party's attention when we need to move on or have a bad guy coming up behind us. So if you are creative some of the sound emotes can actually be useful.

    Seriously? I got 15 awesomes for that comment? I mean, it was meant to be amusing, but I didn't think it was that funny...

    On topic, I actually would like it if your character said a word or two here and there. Even just a greeting (that maybe cycled through a couple of greetings like "Hello", "Hi", "Hey there" etc) option and a farewell option. But you would have to include an option for people to mute those from other players so that people wouldn't just spam them in banks and such to be annoying.

    AFAIK these work:

    /thank
    /thanks
    /thankyou (no spaces allowed in emotes)
    /welcome

    But no voice.
