So, there is an emote for rank, why not one for experience.

Perhaps, one for pre-ascention, one for 500,000 exp, 1,000,000, 2,000,000, and 5,000,000.

Some players frequient the Underworld, and the Fissure regularly, and those players should have something extra to show how addicted they are to the game.

But what would the emote itself be? Like a glyph above you or
something?

This interests me.

sigh, please keep the n00bz talk to 0. Rest asured, if this is a flamefest, it will be completely ignored.

How about a baby rattle for pre-ascended characters?

A flexing arm for 500,000?

If everyone suggests one, we could have more than we need.

I don't PvP, or rather, haven't started yet.
I don't have a ton of experience, around 950,000 on my W/Mo.
I'd like to be able to show something for my troubles

Your statement can also be applied to everybody who's wearing Fissure armour (to those of you who do, this is not a stab at you but a stab at this statement)

The point of this is just to add a little reward for PvErs that affects noone really. If that character of yours is a farmer, I'd think that your point of playing him would be to farm, and not to do missions/quests. So you wouldn't have a problem getting into groups or whatnot.

what ?? it is just what i have observed -_-' (and i am not a farmer so i don't consider that others are copies of me, i just observed)... ok so replace the term "noobz" by the term "guys who are not as skilled as the amount of experience they have tends to show".
And it is not flaming anymore

"debate about that statement is closed"

Great.Now if you dont have enough experiance you cannot get a group.Sorry.Adding a rank system to PvE would be incredibly stupid.

Honestly, I would think it'd be cool, but all the Monk and/or Warrior farmers will be the only ones with it, considering they can get massives amount of experience from farming alone. My monk has over a mil, my warrior has over 1.5 mil, so basically, it wouldn't be too fair for the non-farmers. This would actually promote farming that Anet has tried so hard to end.

Really, I don't take offense at being called a noob. In fact, I think I am one. And I don't get why people are offended when they're labeled a noob.

And I'm not going to rebutt that statement since the one who made it wants it closed

I don't see the point. 3 toons finished the game and none have over 500k experience from what I remember, though some are close.

Why not make it something useful, like an emote for having all mission bonuses (an actual accomplishment) and put in a bunch of really challenging things that are difficult to do in the game, and give emotes for those. Rewarding experience just seems ludicrous. I mean, why not just reward the /age function, and get right down to time online? The game is about skill, not time spent, so something that rewards skilled play, yes. Something that allows kids with farming characters, no.

maybe for:

-Having finished the game,
-Having done a real difficult quest in UW/FoW
(don`t know them as I havent done them)
-Defend Droknars, Defend Kryta and all those quests having a seperate emote.

Ofcourse there is the problem that PvE will turn out the same as PvP, Highly experienced people who will never want to join up with none-experienced ppl

This has been suggested before, and is a good idea.

Some things that could be use as a measuring stick:

exp points
ascention
infusion
game completion
UW/FOW Entry
Missions Completed
Bonus Missions Completed
UW/FOW Quests Completed
Normal Quests Completed

Maybe a different colored aura based on experience that only shows up when you dance. Like the collectors edition has that cool aura.

I would rater have a reward for age than experience.

Like Kago said, you can get alot of experience farming in a very short ammount of time. I'd like the people who play the most to have the emote. Show the people who are really dedicated to the game.

So you wanna reward the people with a flat rate that can be in GW online 24/7?

Remember: you do not need to play GW to have it turned on

Let's face it: besides Quests and Missions, all measures for PvE must fail.

I don't like rank emotes and wouldn't like one for experience or anything else.

What the game needs is a character/account bio which other players can query.

The bio could include various character/account stats and should include any guild name so you are not just guessing from the tag. The bio should also include a self written section to let other players know something about you.

It would also be very nice to be able to show other players your build (skills/attributes/equipment) but that would have to be driven from your end not theirs.

One problem with this idea: experience is character-based and not account-based.

Whereas Fame is account-based and not character-based.

If they added an experience emote without tying it to all experience that you have acquired via all characters, then the experience emote would become an extremely frustrating thing.

I like it. A lot. For those that run characters through and experiance the game from each point of view. My Ranger probably had 500,000 exp when I deleted him. I think the Emotes will have to get into higher number though.

Maybe adding something similar, but with the completion of your class. Say, if you have all the skills of your primary or secondary you can show it off by one of the 6 emotes they have. /primary would show off a purple mist around me since I'm a Mesmer with all skills unlocked for that class and /secondary would be something blue and monk related. Here are my suggestions.

Warrior - Orange and yellow daggers spin around the body like a tornado.
Ranger - They pull out a green bow and shoot out several green arrows that fly around and return.
Elementalist - Red sparks fly out of the body, turn into droplets of water, hit the ground and turn into rocks that float away into dust.
Necromancer - Four zombies come up from every side of the character, then crumble away.
Monk - A light blue bolt of energy pushes the character from beneath the ground into the air and they do a pose in mid-air.
Mesmer - A purple swirling mist envelops the character and faces surface out of it as if they were screaming, just without a sound.

He's right. What do PvPers have to show for their achievements? Rank? Only if they are rank 3, 6, or 9 (never seen 12 before). PvPers get a wide variety of weapons and armor that can only be obtained through PvE.

How about an Emote for UAS, and one that is seperate for a "Fully Unlocked Account."

I'm asking for more Emotes here. I would like to have a Emote for being in a top 100 guild, or top 500 for that matter. It seems strange that Rank is the only thing worth an Emote.

I want emotes that interact with other emotes, such as allowing to players to high-five on another or something like that.

I think they should make it for ascension only. That way you know who hasn't ascended yet.

I think this is a viable solution.

Why? There is no need to have all skills on a character. All you need is to unlock them.

Why would I want Devine Favor skill on my */Mo when my Mo/* have already unlocked it...?

Give emotes for achievements, like finishing all UW quests or titan quests or all missions+bonus,... or for a full unlocked account,...

Don't give emotes for 'non-achievements' like beeing in a top guild (you may be a very important part of that guild, but there is no way to tell if you contributed to the guild or have never played GvG for them).

I think this may kill the game. People who play pvp wanted emotes because of their egos. Now pvp in heros acsent(tombs) is a nightmare. It has really killed pvp tombs. It may or may not affect gvg.

bad idea however I would like to see some sort of reward for your exprence. Maybe someone think will of another better idea.

Yeah, I was just about to say... Give us emotes for having classes unlocked. If we have all mesmer skills, give us an emote for that. I'd think that maybe the emotes would resemble what the spirits look like in Temple of the Ages. That way they know they have all the skills of a given class and have a better chance of knowing what they're doing. Just because you can unlock all skills with faction and never play anything outside W/Mo.

Um, it is Ctrl+Click, not right click. And I can see that you have no idea about what the discussion is on.
