On Idling Animations...
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

Those are cool subclass-specific emotes I'd like to see. But not for idling. It's almost too much going on. I mean nobody realistically does anything like that while they're waiting. Have the Guardians like stretch, or to the two-hand knuckle pop thing, or check their armor for scratches. Something simple. Like in Ocarina of Time, Link would yawn or kick his boots into place, or adjust his belt.

I'd be all for this. It's a good idea and would be a nice little feature, one Bungie should definitely consider.

Bump for cool idea...

Bumpity bump bump

Sounds -blam!-ing sweet. Love the details

No, this game does not need idle animations like wow or other games. there is no need to have them move at all when you are do nothing would just be a waste of code space to put this in the game.

Would be cool.Even if it will cost silver.
-
Technically there is an idle animation, you know the one where your gun points down? I like that. Adding more shouldn't be a priority or even anywhere near the top of the list, but variety is always good!

Captain Goodnight, with decoder badge in pocket, pulls out yo-yo.

1 ReplyMy biggest problem with this is the time and money spent on this rather than something that actually effects gameplay. Great idea though

Great idea
-
If you stand still long enough in a combat zone your guardian will drop their weapon like they're running

5 RepliesLet's just call it Warframe while we are at it

I was thinking something exactly like warframe. Stormcallers can pose and have lightning around them Sunsingers bodies have the similar look as a sunspot Voidwalkers' arms glow dark purple. Just ideas.

Yaaaaas, Bungie. Yaaaaaas.

This sounds sick. Love it

This man. Subtle, but changes the quality of the game by a lot

Reminds me of how warframe did their idle animations
