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
-
Neat idea.
-
Defender spins the bubble on his finger like a basket ball

1 ReplySunbreaker juggles hammer. Accidently drops it. Causes 2nd collapse.

I like it

This would be cool to see and seems like something Bungie would do

I love this concept, but I wouldn't pay money for this. I also don't think it should replace the sitting emote. Like the title says, idle emotes, not actual emotes

Awesome

Cool idea bro

Love it.

Bump so bungie sees this

I think Hunters should start flipping their knife around, Warlocks should sit and pull out some little random datapad and start reading, & Titans should start polishing their held gun

Well, two problems: A) Breaking your character's personality. ( What if your warlock isn't a goof who juggles? ) B) Whooole lotta animation work. Too much really. Not realistic. Idle animations would have to be more generic and less flashy. Also less of them. IE they should be race or class specific, but subclass specific is three times the amount of work. Remember, game developers don't do stuff like this because they didn't think of it. They don't do it because they didn't / don't have the time / money to devote to doing it. [i]Very [/i]few ideas go through these forums that someone at Bungie has not already thought of ( this is their job after all ) but simply don't have the resources to pull off.

[quote]Make the actions quest line rewards[/quote] Why? You can't automatically trigger these animations—you have to wait a specific amount of time before they activate. What would be the point of making them quest rewards? OP, while the ideas are without a doubt cool, wouldn't they take too much time for the devs to develop (with the effects and all)? Those animations would go directly to Eververse, no doubt about it. Wouldn't it be better for the devs to develop some generic idle animation, like checking the bottom of your boot or stretching or adjusting a piece of armor? I'm pretty sure the devs can crank out some leftover file with idle animations from Halo.
