Some of those would be tricky to code... But all of them would be 100% wonderful to have. And I don't even have a lucidian character anymore!

And I completely agree about the sit thing.

Ah well; my interest in my Lucidian emotes has now disappeared as I am no longer Lucidian!

Still my emotes go through; as a favour to all my ex-brethren!

Time to start thinking up some great Faeling emotes...
Lisaera2007-10-20 22:22:43
Two racial emotes have been added, SOFTGLOW for female kephera and CRYSTALGLOW for lucidians.

One general emote, WAVEHAND, has also been added.

Keep those ideas coming!
Lisaera2007-10-21 01:18:46
Being on a roll, we have added four more emotes for lucidians, for those who care. Now that should incite some of you out there to submit ideas!

New lucidian emotes: crystalanger, crystallove, crystalsad, crystalconfused

Not really a suggestion, but:

Are there any Elfen racial emotes? Any Hartstone ones other than INVOKEHART.

Suggestion:

I think there should be a list like "HELP SPECIALEMOTES" that lists all the "special" emotes you can do, specific to race, org, guild.

Just wanted to ask/mention again, because I still find it silly.

QUOTE(Tajalli @ Aug 15 2007, 10:19 PM) 434026
For those who have chosen the Crow Totem, you can build a nest.

Presently, if you are in another's nest, they will munch on their carrion. The message in this case is:
You almost gag watching *name* casually chew upon the rotten flesh stuck in the nest.

It seems rather silly to have this reaction if you have taken on the Crow spec, especially if you have your own nest with carrion to snack on.

Could instead of this, for those with Crow spec, there be an alternative? Something like:
You find yourself salivating as you watch *name* casually chew upon the rotten flesh stuck in the nest.

Someone needs to think of another Lobo emote besides WARNGROWL... since most of the Lobos I run into don't honestly growl all that often. (Maybe for fun, but GROWL is used because WARNGROWL is too serious/most people don't know about it. Gadritan didn't know it until a few days ago when I told him.)

EDIT: Maybe make WAG work for Lobos and Aslaran, please? I made an Aslaran alt ... he could use TAILTWITCH, but then WAG didn't work for him. Uh, he has a tail, but then he doesn't have a tail? I'm hoping it isn't too hard to code WAG to work for two or three (squirrelkin?) races, since it's done in Impy. But it would be nice if I didn't have to make an emote alias to make Denust wag his tail since WAG doesn't work for him.

I would like to see this:

ADJUST
1: You adjust your pack and belongings, preparing for travel.
3: Adjusting her pack, Estarra prepares for travel.
1t: You reach over and help Estarra adjust her pack.
2t: Estarra helps you adjusts your pack for travel.
3t: Kethuru helps Estarra adjust her pack, preparing her for travel.

Or something like it.
Aison2007-12-11 22:06:22
Also, for Denust, something like, 'WAGTAIL' for those races with tails? Like WAG, but not imaginary?

That's actually the name of the emote alias I use. tongue.gif

wagtail: emote wags his furry tail happily.

EDIT: To contribute -

QUOTE
SHAKEOFF (lobo racial)
1st person - With a peculiar growl, you drop to all fours and shake yourself off vigorously, sending loose fur and dust everywhere.
3rd person - growls peculiarly and drops to all fours. suddenly starts to shake energetically, scattering some loose fur and dust everywhere.

- not targettable, not a pose -


I wanted to use ' sending a torrential spray of water everywhere' instead of ' sending loose fur and dust everywhere' for this, since dogs and wolves shake themselves off if they're very wet, but I think it would be hard to code this to only use for water locations.

Do illithoids have a racial emote? Will they ever?

ILLWORM

You feel a mild discomfort as your sternal mouth loosens and clenches again.

The maw on Verithrax' sternum seems to loosen, each section of it shuddering and tightening again.

You turn to face Tajalli, your sternal mouth opening to allow your inner worm to taste her psionic emanations.

Facing you, Verithrax allows his second mouth to open, his inner worm moving menacingly towards you, tasting the air around you before retreating back into his body.

His inner worm snaking out of his sternum and approaching Tajalli menacingly, Verithrax' expression seems to fade away into sedate distraction for a moment.

Just a question, why doesn't HOVER work for Trills?

For Trills:

WINGTWITCH
Restlessly, your wings twitch and your feathers rustle.
Arvont's wings twitch and his feathers rustle restlessly.

Butterflies can hover.

(Most) birds cannot.

Difference in wings.

Of course, I don't think bats hover all that well either, and ShadowFaelings can hover-- but disregarding that issue, I believe that's the difference.
Jasmin2007-12-30 04:55:27
can you get tailtwitch to actually look like in the room what it appears to do?

ie. You idly twitch your tail.
idly twitches his tail.

and the look in the room is is here, his tail twitching in agitation.

My idea is to make it more like is here, his tail twitching (not in agitation but something that reflects what the emote actually does) like... idly?

or if someone else has a better suggestion
Tekora2008-01-12 04:40:31
There is a horrid lack of Illithoid-only emotes.

PSIAURA

1'st Person: You close your eyes and primal thoughts of hunger and violence well up within you as you focus and project them outward, filling the area with psionic energy.
3'rd Person: closes his/her eyes and you are visibly startled as an oppressive psionic aura begins to permeate the surrounding area.
1'st Person Targeted: You glare intensely at and a primal hunger begins to well up within you, causing your psionic aura to grow in intensity and as if with a mind of its own, begin to reach out towards .
2'nd Person Targeted: glares at you with deep intent and you are filled with dread as you suddenly feel intense energy emanating from him/her.
3'rd Person Targeted: turns to and glares at them as the air is suddenly filled with an oppressive psionic aura that chills you to the bone.
Posed: stands here, emanating an uncomfortably intense psionic aura that makes your hair stand on end.
Targeted Posed: stands here, intensely glaring at as a powerful psionic aura fills the area.
Jael2008-01-23 03:54:18
How about...

DRAT

1: Your arms fall effortlessly to your sides as you hang your head, intoning, "Drat."
3: Estarra's arms fall effortlessly to Her sides as She hangs Her head, intoning, "Drat."
