everyone is always standing in this game and the crotch animation looks weird for most of the classes

So i had any idea today that if they added benches all around the game, in towns, in PVP areas where the scenery is nice that you could SIT on these benches

So benches spruced all around the game and then when you right click on it you'd sit down and if you press certain buttons you can cross your legs while seated or have one leg on top of the knee or just some more relaxing emotes instead of standing all the time

what do you think?

I think you played Runescape.

HawkofStorms · Jul 09, 2008, 02:20 AM // 02:20

Or Assassin's Creed.

Anyway, not a terribad idea, but still a bit unnecessary and complex in the current GW system. Might not be a bad idea for GW2 though.

/notsigned...sorry man but this is not of my gaming interests AT ALL. I dont get on GW and say to myself, "I cant wait to use all my emotes again!" emotes are fun, but lets not turn this into "runescape," This is VERY unnesesary...

I MUST know though, what compelled you to post this idea???

everyone looks like robots in towns

its either standing up like a cold statue or a dance emote which look all the same

everyone is vertical, nobody is sitting or sleeping on ground so it looks like robots

Whatever floats your boat, but still, sorry

/notsigned

So your solution is to give the people an option of sitting down. I'd imagine it'd be exactly the same as standing up: staying there like a cold statue.

As long as Anet adds pigeon NPC's to go along with these benches. Feeding pigeons is fun, and you could add an enemy pigeon that attacks you if it doesn't get fed bread crumbs.

/signed for pigeons

Darkobra · Jul 09, 2008, 04:25 AM // 04:25

So essentially it'd be like typing /sit.

/notsigned to OP's idea, for reasons stated above

This idea reminds me of this:

The best suggestion to ever hit Sardelac. Even though it's a month old, I had to bring it back. Took a while of searching to find this. You'd be surprised how hard "gasafasahhahhhhhhhhhhhh" is to spell.

I can't help but think this rather innocuous idea is being shot down and dragged through the mud solely because of who the OP is, not because the idea itself is particularly horrible.

Anyhoo... I'd sign this for GW2 to liven up the role playing aspect of the game. It is a bit annoying that whenever you meet friends in town to just hang out you just stand there and do that head-swish animation. I'd also sign for other things like cafes, but benches seem like a good start.

For GW1, though, I'll have to go with the old standby that it would be too much work for little or no return on an old game.

I think you guys are being hard on OP due to past history of posts.

Surely, it's not articulated well, but Solange seems to be interested in a more interactive RolePlay-friendly environment and atmosphere than GW currently has.

While not everyone would use it, the option is nice and, quite frankly, this is not a terrible idea and is absolutely not uncommon amongst MMORPGs.

On this serious note and potential save of thread /signed for more interactive RP-friendly environments in GW2

Non-RP servers of WoW as an example (I just had to, didn't I?) sure, people sit around in chairs at the taverns while AFK... sure people also stand around doing nothing and/or dancing while AFK. But, I have to admit, it is more aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, people aren't nearly as AFK in cities in WoW because there's far less of a reason to be.

ilipol · Jul 09, 2008, 12:59 PM // 12:59

Well I guess i would agree to adding a /sit command as much as I would in adding a /walk and a /sleep and a /sneak and a ...

MithranArkanere · Jul 09, 2008, 04:59 PM // 16:59

Some emotes move the character away from its position. A female Necromaner takes two steps forward before starting to dance. So if you dance on a set of stairs, you'll end up dancing in the air.

The same could be done. An emote that 'sits' in the air two steps before the character. If there is a bench or anything with the appropriate height, the character would look like sitting there.

But I see no need to add a new system just for sitting. A fake would do and won't require any kind of modification in the game, just new emotes.

Kinn · Jul 09, 2008, 11:39 PM // 23:39

The image of 200 people all sitting on top of each other on the same four benches in a town makes me think this awesome idea hasn't really been thought through.

fireflyry · Jul 10, 2008, 01:46 AM // 01:46

Screw benches.

Make a pub area where we can all go get drunk and flame each other.

Must include offensive gestures and vomit emotes.

Lishy · Jul 10, 2008, 02:19 AM // 02:19

This is an rpg. NOT real life.

Anet could be nerfing Ursan in the time it takes for a stupid bench >=)
