everyone is always standing in this game and the crotch animation looks weird for most of the classes

So i had any idea today that if they added benches all around the game, in towns, in PVP areas where the scenery is nice that you could SIT on these benches

So benches spruced all around the game and then when you right click on it you'd sit down and if you press certain buttons you can cross your legs while seated or have one leg on top of the knee or just some more relaxing emotes instead of standing all the time

what do you think?

Or Assassin's Creed.

Anyway, not a terribad idea, but still a bit unnecessary and complex in the current GW system. Might not be a bad idea for GW2 though.

/notsigned...sorry man but this is not of my gaming interests AT ALL. I dont get on GW and say to myself, "I cant wait to use all my emotes again!" emotes are fun, but lets not turn this into "runescape," This is VERY unnesesary...

I MUST know though, what compelled you to post this idea???

everyone looks like robots in towns

its either standing up like a cold statue or a dance emote which look all the same

everyone is vertical, nobody is sitting or sleeping on ground so it looks like robots

So your solution is to give the people an option of sitting down. I'd imagine it'd be exactly the same as standing up: staying there like a cold statue.

As long as Anet adds pigeon NPC's to go along with these benches. Feeding pigeons is fun, and you could add an enemy pigeon that attacks you if it doesn't get fed bread crumbs.

The best suggestion to ever hit Sardelac. Even though it's a month old, I had to bring it back. Took a while of searching to find this. You'd be surprised how hard "gasafasahhahhhhhhhhhhhh" is to spell.

I can't help but think this rather innocuous idea is being shot down and dragged through the mud solely because of who the OP is, not because the idea itself is particularly horrible.

Anyhoo... I'd sign this for GW2 to liven up the role playing aspect of the game. It is a bit annoying that whenever you meet friends in town to just hang out you just stand there and do that head-swish animation. I'd also sign for other things like cafes, but benches seem like a good start.

For GW1, though, I'll have to go with the old standby that it would be too much work for little or no return on an old game.

I think you guys are being hard on OP due to past history of posts.

Surely, it's not articulated well, but Solange seems to be interested in a more interactive RolePlay-friendly environment and atmosphere than GW currently has.

While not everyone would use it, the option is nice and, quite frankly, this is not a terrible idea and is absolutely not uncommon amongst MMORPGs.



On this serious note and potential save of thread /signed for more interactive RP-friendly environments in GW2

Non-RP servers of WoW as an example (I just had to, didn't I?) sure, people sit around in chairs at the taverns while AFK... sure people also stand around doing nothing and/or dancing while AFK. But, I have to admit, it is more aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, people aren't nearly as AFK in cities in WoW because there's far less of a reason to be.

Some emotes move the character away from its position. A female Necromaner takes two steps forward before starting to dance. So if you dance on a set of stairs, you'll end up dancing in the air.

The same could be done. An emote that 'sits' in the air two steps before the character. If there is a bench or anything with the appropriate height, the character would look like sitting there.

But I see no need to add a new system just for sitting. A fake would do and won't require any kind of modification in the game, just new emotes.

The image of 200 people all sitting on top of each other on the same four benches in a town makes me think this awesome idea hasn't really been thought through.

Screw benches.

Make a pub area where we can all go get drunk and flame each other.

Must include offensive gestures and vomit emotes.

Alright everybody, I don't care if you think this is a bad suggestion. Whether it's good or not, it's a legit suggestion. So please, make my life easier and stop posting like asses because the OP has a history of non serious/trolling suggestions.

And for everyone posting in before lock, better luck next time.

Why post if you're not serious with your suggestion though? I mean, why bother?

But anyway, GW isn't that type of game to have features like this added.

I don't care who the OP is...this is a stupid idea. There's a /sit command. Sitting on a bench like Forrest Gump would look ridiculous. The heroes of this game (i.e. YOU) don't have time to sit around on a bench...they're on a mission to save the fkn world. Get off your rump and go fight!


Benches...jesus.

With that logic, the heroes of the game don't have time to do anything but save the world, right? I mean, we don't have time to sit in Kamadan to buy high end weapons, we need to be saving the world!

Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the suggestion either, but the least you can do is come up with a better logic.

If guild wars to is going to allow us to jump over landscape and stuff, then why don't we just jump onto the benches and use /sit? We'd look like Spiderman, or something like that, but it's not like it requires a whole new bunch of coding on their part.

But double /notsigned for the "pressing buttons to make you do things while on the bench" idea.

Im sorry, but WHY WOULD YOU GO ON GW TO /SIT?!?!?!?!

I mean...yeah /sitting is fine, I dont mind about that...emotes are nice. But if Anet is going to update the game, I couldnt care less for emote updates...
I think I speak for a lot of ppl when I say this isnt what MMO players look forward too...But some reason, I dont know how to express it ENOUGH! lol

It's the symbolism of it. If there were benches, it would symbolize the town being like Central Park, not a defensible down in the middle of hostile territory.

Why stop at benches, as suggested here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10306340

We need our players to be more comfortable. For that, we need couches and sofas. The average tired traveler would no longer have to stand around, or even sit on uncomfortable benches! We'll have soft, relaxing couches for them.

To go with that, we need the /sleep emote. That'll allow them to truly take a great rest on these newly added couches and sofas.

You are joking right.....

What would that ad to the game, you hp and energy regen on there own, its not like you would gain anything from it. It wouldnt add to the game at all tbh, can you really see any benifit from it?

If you want your characters to sleep, just log off and go outside....

OP could have meant the warrior dance? probably.

I think it would be nice to have a gathering place where you can sit, rest or order drinks over the bar kind of stuff, it would make more sense to drink and get drunk while hanging around with the rest of the community and have the necessary animation to go with it. rather then have a line up of bikini babe dancing blocking the stairway :P~

so it is a signed from me

PS: Role Playing is exactly why we need bench and couch (not crotch) if it isn't then there's no reason to have it.
