Lord_Empor Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Hello! This might not be top priority with the SWTOR team dealing with small patches and tweaks to the recently updated game to make their audience happier. However I have a very small suggestion that could be snuck in with a patch or small update. Alignment Meditation Emotes: This is, pretty much, how it sounds. We all have the emote to meditate which was a very nice alternative to the simple sitting down. Although, when I played as a Jedi Knight for the first time I noticed that there was another emote you could do, where you sat down and meditated but a light aura came off you, this lasted around 15 or 30 seconds, (no I am not talking about the regenerating health ability all classes have). This emote then started me thinking. Why not give the empire side a similar way of meditation but with a dark aura. After thinking it over, I came up with how this idea would fully work: How to attain the emote- Reach 10,000 Dark/Light. If not, I also thought this could be a character perk you can buy from your legacy. What its effects would be- The player can type in the hotbar or find in the emotes corner the command /darkmeditation or /lightmeditation. The player would then go down into a meditative stance, either like the current meditation emote or another form of how one would meditate. As they begin to meditate the aura of either darkside for /darkmeditation or lightside for /lightmeditation would begin to show on the player. In my mind I was thinking of the darkside aura being a slight purple like colour with the eyes glowing, and similar for the lightside aura but with a yellowy/gold colour. How long the effect would last- Preferably, being an emote, it would last until the player cancels the emote, otherwise I think a long period of time, similar to how long the 'Glowing Eyes' item lasts on a player (1-2 minutes). How easy this would be able to make- Again SWTOR, you could just overlay the normal meditation emote with the dark and light auras and keeping everything the same as the normal meditation emote if you would find it hard to find time to think of another style. Why should this be put into the game- As I said before the jedi had a legacy emote that lasted only a small period of time, and I think it would be nice to see a version of this for the sith. It would also give more variety to the game (like when players are waiting in one location for their mates), give it a more old republic feel for those Imperial and Republic players, but also for the ever growing Role Play servers and any Role Playing players in the other servers, it would supply them with something new and interesting to work with. As for the other classes. I only didn't mention them as I can see this mainly applying and being used to the Sith and Jedi players, however it is an alignment/legacy reward and I see no reason why the other classes can't or wouldn't want to use them. SWTOR I hope you read this, if you do read this then I hope you take this into consideration, it may be a lot of info in one post, but it isn't really anything big, maybe something nice to sneak into a future patch or update, or at least some sort of adaptation to this idea. Thank you, Empor (This isn't vital to the main post or needs to be read, but just a small scenario of this emote in game). "A Jedi Guardian is running across the bottom of a sand dune on Tatooine, they then see something on top of that sand dune to their left, with barely anything else in close range. They notice that this thing is glowing, a dark purple aura, and the Jedi senses that the darkside is present here. As they cautiously walk closer, and T7 makes his little beeps of fear, they see this figure shrouded in the darksides energy, and their eyes glowing with the evil aura that surrounds them, as the jedi unclips his saber, ready to leap towards his target, the Sith Juggernaut leaps to him first, and with it, comes a deadly force push, ending with the jedi demise, as he becomes 'Worm Food' " Edited October 28, 2015 by Lord_Empor

Please do post a comment with that, and a browsing Dev who may read this post, may take your improvement into consideration as well! Thanks, Empor Edited October 28, 2015 by Lord_Empor
