Hello all!

after numerous post regarding emotes, I also wanted to point out character animations.

I mean actual animations, Not just were a bubble appears over your head and displays the players intended action.

It would really make this game far more entertaining, and more than likely would draw a larger crowd to play Spiral Knights.

So~ Any character would do the following:

• Dance

You would actually dance, males would dance one way , females another

• Sit

Instead of the traditional form, Why not sit Buddha style?

• Facepalm

Instead of just text over you head in a bubble, an actual animation of such.

• Cry

Animation that shows that a character is in fact crying

• Nod-or yes

An actual animation that shows were you actually nod.

• Shake head- or no

An actual animation that shows were you disagree.

• Blowkiss

A action that you can see where a player blows a kiss

• Flirt

This action would also show where a player is displaying a flirtatious action

Instead of just text, ( Bubble over your head displaying such action)
