What is the use of emotes? I see them in the game... (And before you even say it, you could easily just type it. No one cares to see you dance.)

Oh yes, and walking, at least in this game, is not preferable to running...in any way.

My god, in other games I've played, running was limited to an energy amount, and when it ran out, it came back over time.

Now, in this game, you have an infinit (sp?) amount of running energy, now people are asking to walk?

I think ANet/NCSoft have better plans and time than to add walking into the game.

Lews · Nov 27, 2005, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Why would you want to walk..... Seriously. I don't get it.

Sammael · Nov 27, 2005, 10:12 PM // 22:12

fewer critical hits?

I can see it now at Beacon's:

"LF WALKER TO DROKS! WILL PAY HIGH"
"Expert walker, from Beacon's to Droks... I can walk anywhere in Tyria whisp me!"

Walking is a RP [roleplaying] thing, like emotes. Remember that RPG, no matter what form, still have a role-playing factor. People may be literal minded and see no point in having useless features, but some people do.

Just equip a skill that causes you to be crippled. I prefer to run.

I don't see any use of it and it's a pain in the ass.

I truly hate Marhan's Grotto because of the ice on the floor, so I dislike the idea of walking.

Lexar · Nov 27, 2005, 11:12 PM // 23:12

It would hurt anyone to have the option to walk, and the animations are there, so why not?

Pevil Lihatuh · Nov 27, 2005, 11:17 PM // 23:17

I'd never use it, but why not indeed? For RP purposes. People try to RP, well if you're roleplaying a kind-hearted, well-mannered soul, you're not gonna run through ascalon city shouting "Just going to run to the merchant!". No one is asking for it to be forced upon you to only walk in cities or anything, but to have it so you can choose to. I NEVER use emotes but I don't see any problem with them being there.

Sagius Truthbarron · Nov 27, 2005, 11:21 PM // 23:21

I mean, rolepalyers are a big forum. Alot of people just buy games to Roleplay. Right now Guild Wars has a very low roleplaying enviroment.

Of course, alot of young people seem to become infuriated at all forms of roleplaying. Appearently they think it "1s te gayz0rz".

And you can't use Illusion of Hast in towns.. Which makes you limp, not walk. Or Muddy Terrain.

I hate accidently pressing the walk button, and then have figure out how to turn it off.

But, I don't see why it couldn't be done, unfortunately it should be at the bottom of the dev's 'to do' list.

Scourgey · Nov 28, 2005, 12:32 AM // 00:32

I swear there used to be a walk button in the beta, I used to remember making my mesmer walk in the beta (at least I think I did).

And in my opinion, there should be a walk button, the animation is already there for it, I have no idea why anet didn't at least make a toggleable button for it (and remember you could always remove the button from the options).

I think walking is cooler than running, I mean why is my hero always in such a rush?!?!

GW isn't a game that is all about realism. It isn't a real roleplaying game trying to carefully simulate a fantasy envorinment. It is a lighthearted fantasy RPG with a focus on PvP. Walking is not an issue, imo. Not that I would mind it, but for me this has to be priority Z.

TubamanRH · Nov 28, 2005, 03:27 AM // 03:27

I would much rather have a /shrug emote. I like to use the emotes when I can just to be funny (as in, during conversations and not mid-battle), and there have been so many times that I wished that I could have just shrugged.

Khadgar of Dalaran · Nov 28, 2005, 09:49 AM // 09:49

what would be nice is if they made a /walk command and actually put it into a mission/quest (for those of us who have beatin the game), in which the mission/quest would require stealth and/or to look inconspicuous (ie something like the Slave quest for SF...i mean wouldn't u wonder why a slave was constantly running about? :P)

The Acolyte · Nov 28, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

hmmmm....what about "skip" while anet is working on the walk command...
