On Idling Animations...

Good concept

Poor concept

Okay, but needs conceptual tweaks

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

  • [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.
