I posted this for the community wish list, but I think it's relevant here too.
Sometimes Guardians find themselves waiting. Waiting for the sixth guy to join you in the tower, waiting for people to fly into the raid or strike or daily heroic, or just waiting around in the tower for nothing.
We have emotes. They add some character and life, which is a good addition to the game. However, here's my idea: idling animations.
Say five of you are waiting in the tower for another guy to join you. Your Guardian is standing mostly motionless by the vaults. It would be cool if your Guardian would, every once in a while, do a short, subclass-specific action.
[u]Examples[/u]
Sunsinger - Juggles three small fireballs for a few seconds.
Stormcaller - Raises hands and arcs lightning between them.
Voidwalker - Opens palm to expose a tiny void vortex.
Gunslinger - Draws an imaginary pistol, fan fires six shots from the hip, and pretends to blow away the smoke.
Bladedancer - Sharpens two electrically charged knives on one another.
Nightstalker - Draws void bow (no arrow) and pulls bowstring back while taking aim.
Sunbreaker - Flips flaming hammer from one hand to the other, and back again.
Striker - Clenches fist, sends arc energy down arm, and slams fist into the palm of the other hand.
Defender - Forms tiny bubble between two hands.
Thoughts?
[u]Good Suggestions[/u]
Make the actions quest line rewards
Include the actions during Trials standoff
Sunbreaker twirls hammer like Thor
Replace sitting emote with these actions
Defender Titan interacts with tiny bubble
Nightstalker balances void arrow on finger
Bladedancer twirls knife
Stormcaller hovers while performing action
Voidwalker teleports void ball around
Gunslinger twirls gun (think Clint Eastwood)
Defender knocks bubble and puts thumb up
Clan/team specific interactions (high-five)
Ghost hacky sack
Striker cracks knuckles - arc goes up arms

I would just the gunslinger do exactly what you said, but do it with a finger gun. Have the Blade Dancer spin the knife in the air and catch it. Maybe then pose with it? Have lighting run down the blade while he messes with it. Have the Night Stalker use an air bow/imaginary bow instead of the actual void bow and just fake shoot a few arrows? I dunno, but I love the concept! I wish they would implement it so badly!

Yeessssssss

Hell yes, this
-
What if the bladedancer spun his knife on a finger. You know, like a kunai
-
How about a lighting cloud for the warlocks stormcaller instead and, then if that took place of the sit emote you could do the scheme emote at the same time. Most epic emote combo.

Kind of like what link does in TLoZ, Twilight princess.

No thanks. I dislike it when the game initates, on its own, character actions. if nothing else, it's immersion breaking. Now if you reworded this as "custom subclass emotes" that people could opt-in to and trigger themselves, I'd be in.
-
nightstalker could be improved.. everything else is tops. maybe he throws down smoke... idk.
-
That would be cool.
-
Idea sounds sick honestly
-
Good idea yo
-
Mini Bubbles for life!

Bumpp
-
Yes just this needs to happen
-
Signed, i can dig it
-
love this
-
I really with this was a thing
-
Very good idea. Bump for bungie to see.
-
I think that the BladeDancer should juggle the knife like Petra instead.
-
The sunsinger warlock should play pong with a ball of fire
-
Would be cool if they did those animations before a trials match too. That way nobody has to go search through the enemy team to see what they are using.
-
Someone needs to send this to bungie
