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
-
Mega bump
-
Awesome concept bump
-
defender makes small bubble and starts bouncing it like a ball
-
Great idea
-
This is gonna cost silver but it would be soooo worth it.
-
This post made me cum...
-
Knowing activision, its probably going to cost silver
-
Definitely support for this

Edited by CozmicClockwork: 10/23/2015 8:51:22 PMGroup idea: sweatlodge. As long as you have a defender and sunsing in the group the defneder would place a bubble and the sunsinger would place a solar grenade and they would sit around it, other classes could join and fiddle around the fire in the center as well and sometimes wipe sweat from their head. There could just be a campfire varient without the bubble

this is a great idea!

-
5% of the time a voidwalkers idle blows up, leading to them being shocked.
-
I think another cool one would be if you are upgrading a gun your guy would pull it out and look at it.
-
Just like in Warframe? Bump
-
Bump x infinity
-
These would be awesome... Titan hammer twirl... YES please Ghost hacks sack............... *BLAM* YEAH!!!
-
I LOVE THISSSS
-
Nice idea
-
Bumpity bump!
-
I have got to admit I haven't thought about this before. It's a really wicked idea.
-
Hopefully, this doesn't promote more afkers though. It is a cool idea though.
-
I think it would be funny to just start scratching my ass or pick my nose. Or... scratch my ass THEN pick my nose.
-
Strikers would start doing one-handed push ups Defenders would create little purple bubbles, then pop them
-
Knock one out, in a quiet corner, with a friend
-
Brilliant

Gunslinger inspects his weapon (Military folks will know this one)
