/hug emote

give us an /hug emote.

No, just. plain. no.

/signed
Fantastic idea. It'll annoy EVERYONE!

/kiss

/signed

why not?

i am actually of the opinion that there should be a whole bunch of "emotional" emotes (after all, that's what emotes are suppose to do!):

/cry
/blowkiss
/sad
/shakehand

just some examples...

wouldn't it be kewl if you see something like:

Megator The Destroyer needs a hug...
Megator The Destroyer cries like a little baby...

/signed

But only if you also add /taser, /kickballs, /pepperspray and /castrate so female players can have a rebuttle to the hordes of e-molesters that this will spark.

As long as they wouldn't be intrusive on other people, i.e. the ... wants a hug.

If Fiery was suggesting a '.... gives .... a hug' emote then I'd like to suggest that they also add /humpleg, it'll save time.

lol its the leg dance /humpleg

whay not /kickass ??
/signed

seeing there is a emote in WoW.. i heard was called rofl.. rolling on the floor laughing.. why not give guild wars some fun emotes...than the creepy ones where random people do a /breath emote on your charc standing still...if you saw it wont ever belive it..more mature people what hes actually trying to do >.<

i'd like 2 see :-

/slap


dont ask me why but all i know is so many times in ascalon d1 or lions arch d1 i have just had the urge to /slap people

/Blow..... Ballon?
/Blow.....Up?
/Blow.... Bubble?
/Blow... Career?

yes, I am all for /Slap

Or a /shrug...

what about a personalized emote for each class that is interactive with a selected person....

something like taunt....but only usable in towns & outposts....for example pourposes & lack of a better word i will use /taunt in my example:-

a female elementalist could type /taunt & she would then blow a kiss that would set the targeted player on fire for 1 second....sort of like sonya from mortal kombat but without the fatality

or a mesmer could make a bit of a stance, wave thier index finger side 2 side & half of selected persons energy dissapears LOL.....but again only usable in towns & outposts

....i dunno what it would do for lag, but /rank emotes dont effect us so perhaps this wouldnt either......

/definately not signed.

There too many immature punks running around as it is. I'd rather every single emote was removed completely so people can get on with playing the game and not dance partying or stripping for tips.

/bird

Yeah, it'd be awesome.

Right on, Fiery.

While we're at it:

/Bagpipes <--Emote like flute, or violin
/cackle <--throws head back, cackles with insane glee! Muhahahaa
/Scheme <--Rubs hands together, looks around maliciously
/hug is needed. Paper rock scissors with rock doesn't look like a hug enough!
/meditate <--Character sits crosslegged on the ground and looks to meditate

I've got a lot more, but eh..

--The Shim

immature punks makes the world go round.. emotes keeps the economy happy..imagine a world without emotes.. no dancing after winning HoH....no taunting to those waiting outside your Guild Hall...people dance and strip cause what can we do?? nothing so we make emotes to lighten the situation.. we not making emotes to add on to the stripping.. yet emotes that we can actually use not to abuse the emotes to. have fun with the game. and for all we know.. A.net already read my mind and gave us new emotes..anything is possible and we will see Jan 20-22.

"Avoid immature jerks" is not a game design objective.

"Let the players have fun" is probably a game design objective.

Emotes are kewl -- people use them in creative and social ways. The emotes help to build the community. Yes -- MORE EMOTES, PLEASE!

some more that i've thought of

/pat (pet or char name)
/classsignature (a emote similar to the suggestion of Lord Punishment) --
-- pyro can have blowkiss with little fireballs
-- hydro can have blowkiss that turns into little icicles
-- warriors can have a blade flash (twirling their weapons about their person, for those who's played STAR WARS KOTOR, think X-button with twin light-sabre)
-- etc...

we need a /stompnuts command. im tired of being somewhere and having some asshat horny little 12 year old that the closest hell get to getting any is to come hump a female character in a game.
