OK so my idea is to have a emote that doesnt do with fame, but with the XP you have earned throughout different players on you account. i mean i have 3 fame woohoo but more than 4mill xp on one char, and thats not even a farmer! it should also be able to say "You have ___ experience between 1...4 characters, and ___/300 some skills." In white like the other emotes. tell me what you think!

no. XP means nothing. If we have emotes for pve it should be based on skill not time spent in game. Dont know how to figure pve skill but xp shouldnt be it.

Perhaps a PvE emote could be triggered by how many elites one has? I know there are some elites more easily gained than others(...) but if there was an emote for having something like 80% of all elites it might work. And, it wouldn't be problematic with the PvP people "unlocking" elites, not actually capturing them(maybe?)

I dunno what kind of programming reconstruction would have to happen in order for this to happen, but the only other way I see PvE gaining its own emote would be 15k armors or FoW, which isn't really fair because there are certain types of people who would just purchase such things on ebay or some other site.

I think I mayhap gots me a new idee 'r(got it a bit after originally posting, and I don't like having lots of my posts close together, looks creepy -_-)

What if the game based the emote on completed quests? Including missions, and Titan quests. I've seen other posts where people want a type of checklist for the quests that they may or may not have completed, and this could perhaps be a way to combine two ideas into one destructive(in a good way, just like "bad" means "good" with them hip hop youngerster these days) update?

That means Griffon Farmers and 55's get the best emotes. That's not a good PvE player IMO.

deaths/(kills * average level of enimies killed)

It gives you some strange number that could mean something.

im not good with deaths as i PVP a lot with my roleplayer (like most people) and deaths might have NOTHING to do with your playing skill, just the other ppl who like to leave your party or sac themselves bcuz theyre idiots

i lik ethe elites though, that might work, but i dont think the rank emotes arent very just on your skill as many are just IWAY builds...

I think a nice addition would be a ctrl + click command that would say "I'm wielding xxxxxxx exp". It adds no rank heierarchy, but gives people a way to demonstrate the amount of time they put into the game

Yours, maybe? Drop me a line.

I think that skill points would be a more effective way to show an emote than experience. Much like rank shows an emote, not fame. However, I agree that many builds that are considered "cheap" would have a higher skill point count, much like IWAY in rank. If you wanted to go even farther, you could make an emote for having earned so much faction. Another possible one would be for having all skills unlocked.

But really, all in all, there are unlimited things you could make an emote for. I don't necessarily think these should all be put into action though, because it would become chaotic. Even one more emote may cause at least some confusion.

Please no! I already hate seeing a /rank emote in pve when somebody is trying to get into a team, now with a pve specific emote even more spam!

Signet!

And here is a suggestion for the method of doing it:

Fame emotes = yellow-orange (the color they are now)
Faction emotes = same emotes but green
Experience emotes = same emotes but purple

This way the same emotes may used in 3 different manners. Additionaly, if Fame should be more important, the Faction and Experience emotes would be smaller in size. So, another suggestion:

Fame emotes = bigest size and yellow-orange
Faction emotes = same emotes but medium size and green
Experience emotes = same emotes but smallest size and purple

Still, another suggestion:

Fame emotes = yellow-orange
Faction = a different emote with several sizes and green
Experience = a different emote with several sizes and purple

Note: the size of the emote would depend on the amount of factions/experience.

A combination of these ideas:

Fame emotes = yellow-orange
Faction = the first 3 fame emotes with several sizes and green
Experience = the first 3 fame emotes with several sizes and purple

The 3 different emotes would depend on the reached level the differences in size would depend on a reached level within an emote level. Another idea within this, is that size could be a gradually progressive feature, so that size increases gradually instead of on reaching a certain level.

i think an emote with an armor is a good idea, pvp has an emote so why not pve now you just have a fow armor it should have an emote with it. that would cool.

I think its a good idea, who said that IWAY rank 12 players are so good? IMO IWAY is the easiest way to get tons of fame, so I can make tons of XP on farming and I would like to get an emote on my char

OK.. since this issue is raised a lot, i may have a suggestion.
A new type of points that you can collect by completing certain parts of the game. For example, by completing a mission you will get 1 point, for the bonus another point- but if you complete it quickly or clear all the enemies you get more points. You could also get points for clearing the whole of the FoW or UW etc.. and more points for doing them quickly too.
The amount of these points could be emoted..

Why not finished ALL the missions and Titan quests to get an Emote to prove it.

There already many threads about Emote and stuff.

Rewards are experience, skill points, gold, some nifty weapons and offhands, and the ability to continue with storyline.

I can understand that some would like an emote to show off their accomplishments. My guild knows what I can do and is always glad to have me join in the group.

Don't base it on XP. That way, it'll just turn into the "I'm a great Farmer" emote.

Believe what you will, there's a hell of a lot more skill involved in running a successful IWAY than farming cretinous trolls..

anyone that got to rank12 from IWAY alone deserves their phoenix.
Comparing someone with 20k++ fame to a troll farmer is ridiculous.

As for XP remotes, its another poorly thought out 'suggestion', welcome to FarmWars. . .

As for the guy who suggested deaths/avg level of enemies, again, a poorly thought out suggestion, everyone will play totally defensively and rage quit the moment they have <5% HP. As for the PvP/PvE hybrid players with 1000s of deaths on their accounts, they are borked.
In short, dumb idea.

As for the faction emote idea, once again thats a painfully stupid idea. Its quite possible to be fully unlocked with 0faction, which leaves that particular player with jack for faction emotes.

As for titan quest emotes, whats the point? most of the GW player base will have that emote, it wont show anything except that youre part of a group of player which makes up ~95% of the GW population.

All in all, a bunch of dumb ideas.

I am a rank 3, gained it from balanced builds only, i destest IWAY ect on moral grounds. A XP emote is considered a bad idea, mainly becuase it doesnt really denote player skill. Now, a rank 3 in the higher up pvp world is nothing, its really not great at all. In addition, many emotes are obtained from Fame Farming using IWAY etc. Essentially, it can be said that the emote and player skill are not the same thing. However, i am sure that a rank 3, even if they played IWAY to get it, better understands the mechanics of HoH. It may not be the case, but it is more likely.

XP on the other hand is different. The main reason for high XP is solo farming, not experience as such. I beleive that a XP emote would simply mean nothing. Quite frankly the players i have met with high xp often know jack about pvp, which tbh is what GW is all about. Basically, i think when making a pve team, i am more likely to pick ppl on their profession, or perhaps ask them what their skill bar is, rather than from XP. I met a guy with FoW armour, 8m xp, and he was still very much a n00b.

I will say the same thing like another has said before (or Almost). Players get fame and Emote in HoH. Why not a bunch of Players in PvE who save the world against a crazy lich which he wants to destroy the world and control the Titans. The gods turns away of them just to watch those who fight in HoH, thinking its more exciting this way? I dont think so. I got from some Emote = FoW Armor. WRONG! Even a lvl 8 ascended can get his FoW armor when he is helped by his/her guildmate.

XP Emote... for me its a bad idea.... but give an emote in PvE for something else, it can be a good Idea

For any of you, walk into Heroes Audience and just stand there. the entire system is based off rank. i, who have never actually been any further then killing the npc's, think the entire thing is crap. emotes = gay. sure they look cool, but people focus too much on them

Ah this topic again

No to XP - farmers have serious high xp and something this simple would be used to lock people out of pug's because your not "good" enough.

I would be for special emotes that signal beat all missions, or ascended, or all bonus, based on what you have done vs XP you've earned.
