What is this nonsense about this being a PvP phenomemon? That title is essentially a PvE title. As far as I'm concerned this simply proves that PvE players are a bunch of assholes.

Chucky333 · Dec 06, 2008, 12:22 PM // 12:22

That's the purpose of the emote, to show off.
You're gonna see some far worse things in pvp than corpse ranking (namely, alot of elitism), if you can't deal with it don't play it.

Zranks, means nothing in pvp tbh.

just some pve nub who failed in HA and now is buying his emote. final.

onoz! he stuck his gholen shpear in meh bodies! whatever will I doz?

Zrank is just a way for people who have pixel money to piss it away on shiner pixels, that apparently make people rage.

lolzrank

rohara · Dec 06, 2008, 04:46 PM // 16:46

that's what the /zrank is for. if something as simple as an emote can make you want to quit pvp, then that's just kind of pathetic.

dusanyu · Dec 06, 2008, 05:40 PM // 17:40

I Could care less about /zrank in RA, if they want to look like a fool let them. in fact i would to as far as to say i like the /zrank stuff.

Lets Face it /zrank is the best thing Anet has ever done for people who primarily PvP. thanks to it the value of a zkey went from 500 to 5,000 gold.

so look at it this way the next time you get /zranked in ra
"you may have killed me because my side had no monks or your useing a over powered build that is as easy to use as rolling your head across the keyboard and now your going to flash a title that you got by buying Over valued keys for a chest with a crap drop rate from people like me. GG GfG!

garethporlest18 · Dec 06, 2008, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Hahaha I like how some of you guys are acting like high end PvP players don't have the highest ranks of this title. Maybe the first few tracks of this title are PvE, but after that no way jose. The only people who have that much keys/money are PvPers or some of the high end trader types. Anyways people need to stop thinking HA takes skill, because last time I checked I won halls with IWAY and if I can do that then something is obviously not right with that place. The only thing that I think might take skill is top 100 GvG, but even that is a lolfest sometimes.

Regardless it's just a game and it really shouldn't upset you that much OP. It just means you're upset because you got beat, which is okay. Just means you have to play better next time.

You do like that? Okay, don't be surprised if some people break your legs if you played bad. And then chop your foot off and shove it up your ass.

lol

So using an emote which is essentially the equivelant of poking somebody and saying "Hey I won you suck" is the same as beating the shit out of a person!

NO, I think it is a very good description of play modes where competition rules, you get the worst of the scum there, like some moderators and members of this forum.

Nobody judges it because the PvP RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOheads of ANet encourages it. I lost any respect towards all the PvP programmers and designers the day they decided to do that. It is not a sport, if you don´t have rules of sportsmanship.

Wow rage.

Okay, so... I don't have an emote, but still, if I did have one, I would flash because it's funny. It's a joke, yeah?

Also: It's pretty much impossible to flash your emote, whether it be zrank or hero, without someone calling you an elitist, a showoff or whatever. If you flash it in town, it's offending and you're an elitist and a showoff, if you flash it in a match it's either offending and bad sportsmanship and elitism, or just dumb if you're losing.
If you use it in PvE, well, all hell breaks loose, 'cause we all know those PvP'ers are just a bunch of elitists and asshats.

So what are emotes for again? For using it when you're on your own?

Still unhealthy sportsmenship. Making fun of inferior players when they are obviously inferior is exactly like tripping a small kid because he lost a game against your team.

I can imagine people getting turned on from flashing their tiger, so yeah.

I don't care much if people are z-ranking over my corpse. I'll just respawn and kick the crap out of them. Or get killed and z-ranked once again by that same person, but that would just mean I suck at PvP.

slowerpoke · Dec 06, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

Snow Bunny · Dec 06, 2008, 07:08 PM // 19:08

Because competitive taunting in a player vs. player format isn't a bad thing?

SOF · Dec 06, 2008, 07:09 PM // 19:09

I do it only in HA or AB where people use their HA emotes.
Where you roll past a R6+ team or something and Zrank them saying
'You just got pwnt by a PvE scrub'

Jae Onasi · Dec 06, 2008, 07:17 PM // 19:17

Getting /zranked in AB by someone who killed me makes me just laugh at the silliness. It also makes me notice their name. They become a top target for me when I find them next.

It is, however, fun to /zrank a dead boss in PvE. It's completely inane, but it's still fun. You don't have to earn a zrank in PvP--I've gotten most of my points from the Xunlai tournament, and instead of being smart and selling the keys, I've fed my z-chest addiction and opened the thing enough times to get a rank. Ah well.

You afraid of him telling his mother who'll then go on and tell your mum?
Stop being a pussy and kick him in the nuts when he's down!

Seriously - I'd tell you to go play PvE, but I fear that the we'll be reading about how rude the Charr are for /ranking you next ...

I just quit 10 minutes into RA just 'cause chances are I just know someone else is going to /rank on us again and spoil the fun in playing.

If anyone here does it, just give me an honest answer. Does it make you feel superior or what? Why can't we just keep quiet and be a good sport about it?

You just have to learn to ignore it. Let the children(of all ages} have their fun, get back up and kick their butts.

Ultima pyromancer · Dec 06, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

For each Rank you have on the Zaishen Title track, you will get a special emote that shows off your Title. To display your emote, just type /zaishen or /zrank. When you type in the emote command, the weapons listed below will dramatically fall from the sky and embed themselves into the ground in front of you. The Zaishen Rank emotes were created to be very interactive. For example, if you position yourself correctly, you can use it as a finishing move after you defeat someone!

well i guess they anticipated PvP to turn into such a grudge fest and decided to give us something to properly rub it in after you kill someone.. i still prefered bambi spikes

Except when you get tripped, you get physically injured. When you get (z)ranked, you get no injury, unless you're a huge carebear and you get emotionally scarred. In that case, you shouldn't be playing a competitive game.
