Hey, how come luxon and kurziks don't...

have emotes? Alliance Battle is the ideal place to use these emotes.

Kill kill, dead foe, emote, while you emotes, and having fun dancing over the dead bodies, you gets kill... rofl..

A big turtle emote for Luxon and a big Juggernaut for Kurziks.

not an idea just a chat about this, wants to see what the reactions from other players are.

Because we HA snobs need to have something special so we can be better then everyone else... lawl, /sarcasm.

Meh, I think emotes should be added for all PvP titles, but AB is pushing the term PvP. Perhaps at r8+ perhaps. Glad title needs one for sure, as does champion.

For Champ
Guild Lord jumps into the air and rams a big sword in the ground

Sounds like an interesting idea.. I mean, if you're at r12 Kurz/Lux, you're a goddamn Savior!

Savior doesnt make you good at the game or even AB. I know a handfull of saviors from both kurzicks and luxons. And at least half of them still think mending + HB is a good combo on a war

Neither does HA, I know tons on R10s+11s who flat out suck at the game, they stand in AOE, group up, don't weapon swap, can't pre-prot etc etc. But they get an emote.

Every title should have an emote but unfortunitly Arena Net are a bunch of lazy bums and won't add it into the game.

Same here

I wouldn' t mind, it would still be recognisable as an AB emote, so people will exactly know what it' s worth (2 weeks non stop FFF gogogogo).

I wanna flash my bunny in your face ' cos I recently hit defender of the kurzicks .

HA players can be pretty baed to, I Pugged a lot there and the things I seen there would make even an AB-er cringe. There are many good teams there, but HA usually strikes me as an overrated snob arena.

It doesn' t matter to me how hard it is to get an emote, it' s just a vanity item, same as unique weapon skins.

If you want emotes to be prestigious scale them up. AB emotes get small livestock such as hares and small birds .
TA should get medium sized animals such as cats and hunting dogs, or a sturdy boar.
HA already has wolves and mooses.
GvG should get all kinds of huge dinosaurs and mammoths, would be cool to have a raptor emote ' cos you are champion.

I would quite happily take a Glad, Balth and AB title plz....

^^^ ...The title surely doesnt immediately make them a good player, or good at the game at all......but I know when I reach R12, Im gona run w/e the hell I want...and have a good time doing it.

Echo Mending will be quite easily maintained on my Warrior when he packs his useful Blessed signet..... ....

..at the same time, I doubt your statement quite much-ly

Because Arena.net doesn't have animators on staff.


I'm convinced of this because they've only come out with new dances and rank emotes since the release.

Well since we're talking about rank emotes what's the problem?

On topic: I agree with pretty much all this stuff but the 30 second counter would have to work across them all, everyone keeping up a constant stream of rank emotes would probably both annoy and lag me.

Makes no sense. So not only a title.. now you want an EMOTE for running around melandru's hope?!

Emotes are cool. The more the better. For AB, sure. Ab'ers though, not people who run around all day just clicking running skills who may not even know what attacking actually is.

Somebody FFF's rank 5+. Is it fair that he then walks into his first AB ever spamming an AB emote, just because he got his faction for the same title track another way? No.

There would have to be a way to define who got the faction solely from AB, and those that chose the non-fun, non-fighting way to get it. But that just makes things complicated.

Maybe they can make it so you have to redeem both Balth and Alliance Faction for the emotes. But it's not something we really need so I don't really expect them to add anything like this. So with or without, doesn't really matter... People are already cocky on both ends so makes no difference.

Its not that hard to get also a champion Title. I know alote of Pll that just buyed a Guild and Farmed there the Champion r3. Also alote of ppl just ask high rank guilds on double champ point events to farm in there guild. For each point they got, they give alote of gold to the Guild members. On the other Hand the GvG Players has the Gold, Silver and Bronce Cape Trim. There shoudnt, thats enough for showing of, and there shoudnt be also an emote for GvG players.

All of u are forgetting the HB. If there will be an emote, then they should be also get one.

My opinion is.

AB is not a real PvP (i know PvP = Player vs Player). If u dont just Mob around and Cap the Shriens, ur fine. The only big difference in PvE and PvP in AB is that u play against real Players. Thats the felling that AB gives me everytime.
And also the kurzicks and the Luxons has there FFF. Lots of em are getting there title form FFF and not from AB.

Ur telling us that the size of the emotes should be showing the gamestyle. There is no need for that. There is a benefit in TA/RA HB. If u got a Rank u can show it with ur title. If u try to play a more harder PvP Style and u get a Rank Like HA u get a Title/Emote. And the Last Station of PvP is GvG. The reward of a good GvG Player is a Title/Cape-Trim. So u can see. Ra/Ta HB is something for beginner and the higher u come the higher the reward. Like the Rainbow Phoenix.

If u come up like that, then everyone should be able to get a RAINBOW Phoenix, and not just the PvE players.

If u would say give the RA/TA anything else, like special color on the Head Piece or anything else that is just Special for Ra/TA HB, i would understand that. E-Mote is something that is just for HA. If u want an emote one, Play HA. Its not that hard to get r3 in a Double Fame event.

I think AB doesnt deserve a e-mote. If ppl are that smart on doing FFF then they should get there Rainbow Phoenix.

I played in the last double Point AB event with the Any alliance (Holding Cavalon). U cant choose the other two teams, Its like taking Henchs in ur team that u cant controll. No big coordination in the three teams. Lots of mobs. If u loose ur team its hard to find them. There is even no chance to coordinate the teams via voice com, coz the teams are randomly. It was awsome. But after the event everyone moved back to FFF. Lol. No emote for AB for sure. Even in Urgoz/Deep u can Controll a team of 12. coz u see them in ur Party Menu. U know the time they get dmg u can give them AEgis or HP them. AB Is like my team + two other Teams of PvE vs alote of other PvEs. The anym teams are behaving alos like PVE coz of lack of coordination.

I wouldn't mind having an AB emote, as long as they nerf FFF. Even tho i'm in a hardcore luxon points farming guild, I just hate when someone shows his R10+ when you know he got it through FFF and is not even able to come up with a decent build.

Common misconception, some people are just doing it wrong. It's not only capping shrines, it's defending them too.

I like this idea a lot. Don't care if I'm biased cos I love 4vs4. Everyone agrees that TA at least needs SOME love.
Yeah the FF is a problem, but I know so many people that find FFF boring to tears and just AB when they need faction. Same could go for people grinding fame playing lame builds.
Improvising takes skill too imho, the surprise element is as interesting as it's annoying. works both ways.

In my personal opinion emotes are just a fun-to-have thing and I have no trouble with people that don't 'deserve' it. Why shouldnt someone not deserve a green weapon because he bought it from another player instead of farming it himself? Ab titles may be easy to farm, but you need a crap load of points to earn a significant rank, so the amount of effort thet's put in it is not to be underestimated. Still, I think you convinced me with the idea of giving every arena something special. I actually like that better then emotes.

And sry for forgetting about hero battles, I didn't even play it once so it didn't cross my mind.

Highly amusing post and thread. With all the talk from PvErs about PvP "elitism," "snobs," and "12 year-olds," here we have a showcase of irony and hypocrisy at their finest; PvErs displaying that same disgusting and juvenile attitude at the very idea of having emotes in a PvE arena.

Beautiful.

U need gold to buy the greens. to get gold there two ways in this game. E-bay or Farm. I will not start the diskussion about ebay. But Farming other point then greens is also a big work and that one deserve to buy a green. U cant Farm everythink in this game. Thats why we have a trade community. (NvM its OT)

Every Title in GW needs alote of effort.
I like the way that after rank of title title u get a Rainbow Phoenix.
I still see AB as a non PvP match (like to say, iam Playing every PvP Parts in GW and nearly all PvE thinks). Like i sad. its not giving me and the most other HA/GvG players the feeling to play PvP.

As Example:
If two good Guilds (they are also well known) meet in HA then then they have respect from each other, coz they know that there is a big chance to loose them. Same for GvG or HB. If i got in RA my 10ths win and go into TA i know that we will loose for 90% coz there is a chance that we can get a really good organizated team.
In AB nothing of that. Ok if i see a lame toucher team then i get a bit of fear and i make my circle running around the shrine to not get touched. Or if i see a N/D with lich Aura and my team has no enchantment remove with em. And so on. But if a HzH Holding Team is meeting a A Cavalon Holding Team nothing happens. They even dont know each other.
There is more competition between the Luxon Guilds and Alliances then the Luxon-Kurzicks.

Edit: I think we need to define first what PvP (Player vs Player) in GW is. If iam in DoA and a player (maybe the Tank) is pissed coz of the others. And if he sad: "Iam doing nothing more for u" and ur nealy to finish the map. and he goes against the other palyers with nothing doing. Is that not a PvP?? In a PvE match that Tank is Doing PvP. He is going against other Players?? LA Two players are Diskussiong hard about something. Is that not PvP?

So lets define first what PvP in GW is . And then we can Talk if AB is PvP or not. And i think we need to open a new Thread to diskuss this coz this is OT.

I don't quite get why an AB emote suggestion thread turned to farming gold for greens, but anywho..

Or casual play.

Not many greens require "big work". Only maybe certain DoA greens..

I put alot of work into Canthan Explorer (60%). If you're talking max? Protector is er.. alot of effort? Hmm..

I lol'ed.

Player vs Player. What more needs to be said? You are a player.. killing other players. Genius! AB doesn't really classify as that because most of your time is spent killing NPC's, and then capping that shrine. The only 2 exceptions should be:

- If your team has all 7 shrines.
- Fighting other morons in order to hold / take over a shrine.

If u would read first the other posts, then u would understand what we did mean with greens. U should understand what a metaphor is.

For ur sarcasm u should get also an emote. Some of my PVE chars has 30%. With a bit effort i can push them to 60%. We are talking about "effort" about "alote of work". A r3 hero title doesnt need also alote of work and u have ur E-mote.
A r1 Commander Title and Glady Title doesnt need also alote of work to get.
Plz just think before ur comming with aggressive sarcastic and stupid comments.

Dont take a piece of a whole text. I sad a bit Fear .
Here is the whole text.
And here is the Important part for u
and not the "a bit fear"


First of all read this all.
"Killing other Players" is ur definition. With ur definition a real war is also a PvP.
Generals are the Players. Generals are just sitting on there maps and moving there armys.

Just to say it AGAIN. Before ur making any comments, think about them. Mister genius

Online Pocker is also a Player vs Player. And there ur not killing other players.

Just to make it clear. We are talking about the definition of PvP in GW.

Edite: To gain the 7 Shrines u need to compete (this is a way of PvP) with the enemy Teams. Even if ur the most of the Time Killing NPCs in AB. Is Competition enough to define PvP in GW?

Sry for going so much OT.
