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

Would love to see this! Great ideas!

Awesome ideas. Bump.

Bump, great idea.

Yeah the current lower weapon animation is pretty plain.

Bump,

That is a really good idea.
-
Or, just press Down on the d-pad and sit down, almost as if you were waiting for someone...

Lemme just flip a coin leaned against the wall like in eso

I really like this idea. Although, while I like your suggestions for animations, part of me would want some simpler ones that weren't class specific.
-
These are great and all, but if want to really improve idles, we should have ship animations. 99% of the time spent waiting is in orbit waiting hours on LFG.

[quote]Sunbreaker - Pulls hammer out, destroys the tower[/quote] Yeah that's what I [i]thought[/i] you said.

The defender titan could form two tiny bubbles in his hands that act as boxing gloves and then pretend to box.

bumpity bump bump

Sit emote.

How about the titan defender creating small bubble and pretending to choke for a couple of seconds. or having the warlock open a book and thumb through the pages
-
I think they should add group emotes. Like have a void walker throw a mini nova bomb at a Titan that smashes it in the air and have a gun slinger shoot it out of mid air with his golden gun. Or have a blade dancer toss up a knife and a striker could punch it at a warlock, who dies and then use self rez and they all laugh it off because they can't die. Just shit like that that would take 15-30 seconds most.

Why is this not already in Destiny? This has been a thing since Sonic the Hedgehog for god sake.
