Synchronized Dancing

Hey Guys,

I Am an old GW1 player and loved the dancing videos. Back in the days i used to watch these amazing videos there a bunch of people synoecized danced and I thought t was great. So I’d like to have something similar in Ashes to invoke that old school feeling. Some of the old MMO Players might feel the same way.

Please let this happen. Maybe a bard can get the other people synchronized.

I was going to make a post about this but thought to search first, I too am a GW1 veteran, and I would love to see

A - synchronized dancing

B - dancing loops

Part A in guild wars was accomplished by having a delay to dance, if any players in an area pressed enter after typing /dance * then they would all dance in sync after 5 seconds. Part B is an animation thing, lots of games do this but I always prefer that dancing animations loop forever until you end it or move because it makes waiting for people to gather or buy something from you a lot more entertaining than just standing there or typing /dance over and over again.

Obviously a minor request that should get no dev attention any time soon but I wanted to throw it out there as well that I would love this. Back in the monk strike at thunderhead keep, it was really frustrating that no monks would help (without a bribe at least) but it was a cool community moment and archetype solidarity to see them all dance in sync. After failing the mission with the AI henchmen like 20 times I gave up and hopped on my monk to come dance with them until I befriended one and convinced him to heal for us so I hopped back on my Warrior and completed the mission.

I agree with it being on a loop untill interrupted, would also be interesting if there are dances that implement multiple people (first thing that jumped in mind were traditional greek dances for some reason ahaha)

I have not thought about that in years.
Did the necromancers not do "thriller" or something?

I also remember being impressed at the time with /violin, /drums, and all of the other random musical instruments.

This is something that I can see being added to the game if/when they add player music.

Give players a performance script they can write, that allows them to set roles and choreograph dance emotes and music together. Then when they go to perform the piece, people that are qualified for roles (have appropriateemotes, or ability with instrument) are able to join in on the role they wish, and the piece then begins.

Then the server can basically pass on the details of the piece to those that are watching, so the timing can be synchronized on the client as a single piece, rather than on each individual client.

The downside to the way I understand GW1 did this was that players could only use one dance, and that one dance could be synchronized. That is better than nothing, but still very limiting .

Nice necro! @Nagash should be here shortly to ensure the resurrection worked.
