Have a problem if they improved /dance.

Its just really lame, but I don't want to step on your toes(I made a funny) by proposing anything.

Ya thats what I was thinking also, it seems the first tier dances are more casual, what you would see in a club.

the /dance emote is currently a friggin performance piece.

Here is what I would propose...

Let any non-dancer do /dance1, /dance2, .... as many as they need. Each one will perform a few seconds of BASE dance from one of our dances. That's it. No flourishes. So /dance with no number or /dance1 would be the basic 1 base dance... /dance2 would be maybe rhythmic, /dance3 would be footloose, etc. Again, no flourishes, and it wouldn't last long... maybe 4 seconds.

I think that'd be something fun players who aren't dancers could use for a little RP without taking away the specialness of the dancer prof. Since most real dancers do not let themselves base dance much anyway, I can't see how this would negatively impact us.

Then, /breakdance should be introduced asa quick breakdance move, but nothing too fancy! (Maybe a partial flourish)

As long as they don't make it that stupid /dance animation that they use in EQ2!

Ooh! I know! The bunny hop! That's easy enough for a non-Dancer to figure out...

And if you line up 10 people to emote at the same time....COOOOOOL!

Actually, a lot of us really hate it because it's one of our higher level dance anims... we have to skill up to do that!

I wish they would replace it with /dance1 and /dance2 and use our two base dance anims from Novice Ent.

It should be the basic 1 home base shuffling move for 10 seconds.... uninterruptable.

Right now, novice ents get basic 1 and rhythmic 1. I wouldn't have any problem if they gave everybody the ability to do basic 1 with all 8 flourishes upon character creation. That way everybody can participate in dancing at a party, but only those who invest the time and skillpoints can do all of the other dances.
