My apologies if this has been suggested before - the search feature is bombing on me at the moment...

Anyway, I actually have two suggestions for dance. The first one is to add a switch to let you choose which pre-programmed dance you want to do. As it stands now, each gender/profession has its own dance. I'm a male elementalist, which means I get "The Elaine Dance", from the TV show Sienfeld. For those of you unfamiliar with it, this dance was made famous (in the show and outside the show) because of how terrible Elaine's dance moves were. I don't really like being stuck with the worst dance moves available in GW. It would be nice if I could type something like /dancemalewarrior and "choose" my dance.

While on that note, here comes my second idea - give us a dance editor. Let us make up our own dance. I know GW doesn't really allow for much customization past our Dye choices, but this sounds like a fun one, and it would be great if we could create and share dance moves. I can forsee dance competitions between guilds...

Anyway, that's my ideas. Take 'em or leave 'em.

I think the diversity is what makes the dance feature good in the first place.

The best thing that could have happened was the ability to sync dances. We got it. Let's move on.

YES!

All my male characters could have the PARAGON SPECIAL DANCE!
The most homosexual dance in the entire world... ever... Perfect for my Pink Assassin!


Actually... even though I believe it is technically impossible.... I'll /signed for the second one too.
Why?
Mix male Assassin and Paragon dance-moves to get a super Michael Jackson Combo! o_o;;

Dude.... I am officially sick in the head!


.... Actually... my Male Assassin doing the Female Ranger dance might actually be more homosexual than the Paragon Special dance... possibly. I haven't been able to see it so far to know.
But wait... maybe I can.
A/D with Avatar of Melandru.... step outside... activate... dance.... wait for it to wear off?
Hmm.... I wonder if it'd work...

Thank you. As for #2, I don't think that'll be an issue. I can't imagine the editor would be unlimited. Instead, I was hoping it would let us mix/match existing moves (as opposed to an entire dance) just in new orders, or combinations. In this way, it's fairly easy to program (the moves are already in thre) and keeps it (fairly) clean.

FWIW, even the existing moves are a little raunchy - the female elems shake pretty much every body their have, and a few of the guy moves have hip thrusts, etc.

Anyway - you have a valid point - but if they can keep if it real, it would be a blast.

/not signed I like that we have different dances for each profession. What I would sign tho is to just change the horrible male ele dance. I've never liked it and I don't use it. I do air drums or guitar instead.

I mean I've read that it wouldn't work.... but for the reason that the end of the avatar cancels all actions completely.... which would ruin the dance...
Transforming back alone however would be the entire point of the exercise though... i.e. to get a male Assassin doing a female ranger dance. ¬_¬

The first idea was already suggested long time ago and forgotten...

The second will never happen.
