I'd be ok with them adding some subtle ones - but only after they'd added aniamted hair, expressive faces, blinking eyes, more detailed hands, more realistic bust shapes, and turning at the waist instead of gliding on your feet in a circle.|

I want our avatars to look as realistic as possible, but there needs to be an order of prioities these things are done in

First being the derriere.
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
While I'd like to see more power customization animation options as much as the next guy, I'd also like to see a bit more power animation variety in the enemy groups. If different groups had different ways to say, hurl a boulder, it would be a nice touch.

lol, I can see it now; random broadcasts of, "Can I get fries with that shake!" for the first couple of weeks.
This would definitely need it's own sound effects; like a kettle drum, foley boing or something.
Hey... that would be a good emote /em jiggle pecs and /em jiggle glutes

Bubble Helmets are missing. Transparent "fish bowl" type helmets. These are fairly common in comics and the first step toward making cool space suit type characters.
I would also like to see more or upgraded Tech type armor. Most of what we have isn't that good, Banded & Steampunk for example just don't do it for me.
Also Cyborg was a disapointment not that it doesn't look cool but it doesn't look like a Cyborg, that is flesh AND tech combined. See Mother 1 in Cyberforce, 7 of 9 in Voyager.
The new witch and magic user items are so incredibly awesome looking they make it hard to wear anything else.
----------------------------
You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

These all read like rigid costume items which I don't think falls under this subtopic for animations...|

But it does remind me of a longstanding request I've made time and again concerning back details:
Chemical tanks with translucent windows and tintable contents. Similar to how the bubbles rise in the Warhulk cockpits, would love to see a rigid back item with animations that really conveys having a big tanks of something nasty on your back.
Additionally, other costume items that occasionally vent generic streams of gasses would be welcome, be they robotic, steam punk or geo/organic.
And I'm assuming such effects fall under the rubric of this particular thread, oui David?
Draw animations for guns have bin mentioned several times as has "beast run".
I'd also like some sort of 2 player interactive emotes. Something like a glomp, friendlily tackle, kiss or hug. It wouldn't be as hard as you might think. Configure them like target-able attacks/buffs with zero or little effect. A small heal for a blown kiss. A short knockdown/back for a tackle hug.
A proper sleep emote. I'm tiered of standing while sleeping. Doable but not to conferable. :P
Anyway to link it to the rest power? I'd be cool if you could link any/most emote to replace the basic rest.

I was going to suggest something like this; it would be like /em action; targetPlayer, which would show up as '/em action; targetPlayer reciprocate in the target player's chatbox and if the target player wants to participate, he would retype (or C&P) the request and send it out

My roommate was just kind of standing around with a friend the other day waiting for the group to finish something or another, and she said to me "I wish I could do cartwheels". I thought that'd be a cute emote... maybe a broad-footstep emote where you could say do cartwheels in a wide circle so you could cartwheel around someone or something.

It was funny cause it tied the movement to the hair - boobs moved according to the wind!

Still not sure whether this is the thread to put it into, but I won't rest until I can drive motorcycles for superspeed and hoverboards for flight!
Also, being able to shoot sonic attacks out of a guitar.

But you don't want me to pull out the massive repost torpedoing Vehicles.
Guitar's are not likely either. The Devs have taken a hardline against joke weapons in the past.

I can get the stance against vehicles, but I figure guitars are just as valid as screaming at people.|

Edit: also, most of the reason I want motorcycles is because one of my characters is fluffed up as the leader of a motorcycle gang - so why does she walk everywhere?
Randomly, I wish we had a /em flyemoteCorkScrew or as its more popularly but inaccurately known as: "The Barrel Roll"

Castle mentioned it at the Pocket D meet and greet:

| "Hover board" type flight is something I was experimenting with recently. It'd take some code work, but it is possible. It's just a matter of figuring out if/when/how we would introduce such a thing, if at all. |

... I hearby request that Castle resume tinkering with Hoverboards.

That little snippet of news made me so happy

My requests are here. Again I try to focus on things that already exist in game but could use variation but there are a few unique ones. Some are ideas for alternate pool effects if you guys ever get to pool customisation (maaaybe in GR...).
- Emotes: /e fabricate (you summon/create random small items)
- Emotes: /e juggleice (we can juggle fire, electricity, or magic but no ice?)
- Emotes: /e meditate (like lotus/yoga but with the glow that npcs get)
- Emotes: /e tracerune (trace magical rune on air similar to demon summoning; loop)
- Emotes: /e groundport (character slowly sinks into ground and pops back up a few feet away)
- Emotes: /e throwglitter (you throw glittering particles in rainbow colors)
- Emotes: /cce groundvanish (character sinks into ground and then pops back up with changed costume)
- PowerFX: Brimstone teleport (alternative teleport fx with burst of smoke)
- Auras: floating crystals, flame, ice, runes etc that circle your character (body and/or head)*
The inspiration for groundport and groundvanish come from some animation I saw long time ago where this skeletal robed figure crossed arms and sunk into ground that was glowing with omnious black/purple aura - it then slowly rose up in another spot. Actually I think I requested this as alternate animation for tunneling in CO (you sink into ground, travel underground, and then pop back up).
*the aura request is in other thread as well since it's a costume part but also FX. Should it be exclusively there?
