Cannot target & emote selected player...

Post » Wed Mar 19, 2014 8:14 am

This is one of the issues in terms of social aspect of the game. If you want to /bow to a play who helped you,

or /clap to a player who did something awesome... you can't. This is one feature that, imo, is a large portion

of the social life and even an old outdated mmo like WoW has that feature.

I agree, I find it quite weird that this feature isn't in game.

Addons cannot add controls that do not exist in the api.

I'm confused at what you mean.

It was always my thing to get ontop of the staircase after finishing the destruction of a dark anchor and clap. People would then begin clapping with me.

Why not just point yourself at a particular player and trigger the emote?

How about actually having the ability to TARGET A FRIENDLY PLAYER FOR EMOTE... in this mmo released 2014, when an mmo release 2006 had it?.

That was a bummer for me, was hoping in each beta session it would have been added. Sadly it wasn't..

Naw --- something changed between the last weekend beta I played and this one. I remember specifically a player helping me out when I had three mobs on me and after we were done I turned toward him and typed /em nods with respect and the text showed in our chat box.

I remarked to my friend early Saturday morning how I wondered why I could not 'see' any emote chat this time. I doubled checked my filters in that chat box and emote was checked. Maybe buggy or they disabled it for some reason?

Along similar lines, I do not understand why there is no combat log text. Yes, yes I know there are and will be add on's --- but surely Z will have something like that once game launches?

I gotta say Dreez all I see you ever doing is bashing this game saying it should be more like WoW and other MMOs.

Because that's not the type of game it is?

Maybe because if you look at the friendly player and bow/clap/dance/nod then they should be able to infer that it's for them and not need a text box to tell them so?

You know the game is good when these are the kinds of things left for the complainers to latch on to.

As an avid RPer, the ability to target someone in a crowded area, like a bar, and for everyone to know exactly who I'm talking to is important. Not so much for most other folks, I will admit thatl

While I don't consider myself in the rank of complainers, I agree. I'm glad that, except for the phasing/spawn issue in quests, we are down to more minor, nit-picky stuff. :D
