Excursion.9752 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Now "Using How to Dance, Volume 1" will now permanently unlock the dance moves as player emotes. They can be used with the slash commands /step, /geargrind, and /shuffle. Is this any indication for future items giving you access to unique emotes others will not have unless purchasing said item? One can only wonder... I am not sure of my reaction just yet on one hand I would like new emotes but I don't necessarily want to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I already own HTD Vol. 1, yet the game is telling me to buy it again in order to unlock. What?! :angry: Edit: Ahhh, you have to use it once, and it _then_ unlocks the emotes for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I mean having to buy more dances has been a thing for a long time. They only just now converted them to actual emotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you purchase with gems said item you now unlock these new emotes that only other people with said item have access to. I literally purchased this novelty item years ago I believe back when it was initially released. So it does not impact me and I know the dance moves are not new to the game. The ability to use the emotes are. So I am asking do we think anet will link other emotes to other items in game to try and make a profit or enhance an items curb appeal. I immediately thought we could travel down a road like fortnight if they wanted to. I am happy about the addition. I just wonder what it could lead to.

Khisanth.2948 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This looks more like a prelude to selling them separate from the toy. Like a reverse of the situation with glider/back items where one or the other was introduced first then the combo gets added later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting new sellable emotes in the upcoming months. Destiny 2 already has a similar system in place and was waiting for something like that here since it makes some sense. People can either buy or save up gold to gems and acquire that way. These just feels like a ground work step to setup for new store ones. On top of that people were asking for new ones so they have a solution they can say people were asking for to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'm more or less on board with the idea, given two caveats: 1. Some can be earned in game, like /rockout. 2. We get a library of learned commands. Buying an emote and not having a clue how to use it would be awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 finally. This again shows how late to the party Anet is for everything. It takes request like 7 years to get made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashen.2907 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Emotes are a great example of exactly the sort of thing that should be in the gemstore IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'll buy more emotes. I already have this so, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil.3562 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 After 7 years and it's still Vol 1. Talk about QoL. And, all this time many of us are still having wishful thoughts that this game will give us swimsuits and dyeable undies. Did the only developer that could code these QoLs leave?

Tukaram.8256 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I had some emotes in GW1, and CoX because they were included in the game. I find it hard to believe anyone would pay for them...but... if Arenanet makes money off selling them, then more power to 'em. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
