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 think Night Stalker should Shot the bow at the ground no openly, sit down, and pretend it's a campfire for a few seconds.

I want an arcade machine in the tower. So my Guardian can play Galaxians while waiting for the rest of the raid team to arrive.

Sounds cool

Then this happens.

If the Titan dropped the hammer, it would kill everyone

Edited by SJthehero: 10/23/2015 10:28:22 AMGood idea, but I imagine we'll get the unfortunate reason that PS3 and Xbox 360 will crap themselves with a feature like that.

Bump. Also, when standing close proximity to each other and with the same elemental type subclass, they could like make some powerful storm
