Power Emotes

This is a suggestion i just came up with, but it needs a bit of work still...

The suggestion is simple, special emotes like /e Special 1-2

The emote will be different from each character depending on there Offensive Powerset.

Example:

Battle Axe 1, Will start sharpning his Aze.
Battle Axe 2, Will start Practicing his swings.

Fire Blast 1, Will make a fire ball and start juggling with it.
Fire Blast 2, Will make a fire ball in mid air and try focusing it, making it grow bigger and smaller.

Psychic Blast 1, Will sit down in a lotus position and small random stuff will start flying around the player
Psychic Blast 2, The player will get a spoon in there hand and start bending it.

Katana 1, Will start Sharpning Katana
Katana 2, Will pratice swings with Katana.

Plant Controlle, Will kneel down and make a little flower grow.

Stuff like this... The idea still needs a bit of work for what some classes would do... like Claws, Energy Melee Ect.

Also an AT like Dominator wich has 2 offensive powers sets.

Hope you like my suggestion, and please add ideas for what other power sets could do

Ignoring the typo, Axes (and other weapons) are not all uniform in size and shape, (axes go from large double headers, to a shovel!) so making a sharpening animation is not going to be possible

/edit: but otherwize the suggetion is not a bad one, though I can foresee posts along the lines of "I'd prefer to see more content than silly animations"

Don't get me wrong emotes are great fun but really they are hardly ever used with a few obvious exceptions (slap,sit,boombox,dance) the work involved could be used to produce a whole new powerset's worth of animation something I think a lot more people would be interested in. So sorry

Have you been reading a certain thread?

I like this idea. However, there are certain issues with it. Good suggestion though.

Love the idea but it would mean making emotes for every single powerset and that is something i consider a bit of a waste of the developers time.

I'd like to See an AT with Assault and Manipulation, a mix of everything in one

Well that would give you ranged attacks, melee attacks, self-buffs and weak controls - so, like I said, a Blaster.

You couldn't use the actual Assault and Manipulation sets as primary and secondary for a new AT as there would be too much crossover with the same powers (compare Psionic Assault with Mental Manipulation, Fiery Assault with Fire Manipulation, etc) - both types of sets steal heavily from Melee sets as it is, with a few exceptions (like Devices).
