Sell emote packs for pets based on mood.

I dunno about you, but I don't really care if my character can floss....but if I have a cool little pet, I would love to buy it emotes. Especially if its a hard to get pet.

Most monsters have an animation skeleton, most pets probably work within an archtypical set of skeleton that they then work off of.

I put forth that idea to justify why I think the work load, and the pay out would be reasonable.

Sure it wouldn't work as a one off for every pet, if every pet was a unique one off, but I view this as sort of just another layer of work that you can put in, with minor adjustments for varying pets.

Boom.

Everyone can buy a pet, that is either a goof ball, a spiteful heinous cat personality, or whatever you want, perhaps a package for the holidays, if they're archetyped off of any sort of noteworthy spooky monsters or character's add it as a seasonal option.

Sometimes making something cool doesn't have to do with how it looks, but how it moves. I think that's what I'm getting at.

Animation is something I'd like to see more investment in, and this is one way to drive that ecosystem.

Awwww I'd love to have my pet dance along with me n.n I've seen it done in a lot of other games, someone was showing me Vindictus for instance and their pets danced with them..! I think it could add a lottttt to the game, a lot of charm and fun that is~! It's so cute seeing yur pets wiggle and dance around~! ^-^ I doubt it would be that hard, if other games are doing it on way older non optimized engines. I hope they'll do something like this

Wizard101 has different types of the same pet model: Frost Cat, Ice Cat, Glacier Cat, Snowy Cat, Frozen Cat, Blizzard Cat, Arctic Cat.
Same animations, different skills. But when you look at them, they are basically the same pet with the same animations. Just different name plates.
People would collect them and let them roam their plots of land. Part of the appeal of visiting homes was to see their pet collections.

I'm sure people would pay for pet animations.That would be quite a lot of animations I expect. Given the numerous pet types.

If we do this, then we need emote packs for summons.
*thinks of necromancer summons doing the thriller dance*

Please god no, emotes are one of the most frivolous features in MMOs;I don't want to stand in any town with 20 people spamming various animations as if it's a pet talent show.

What about 'training' your pet to do certain things? They could work in emotes too.
That would raise the question about summons though, you could see a summon as a new animal every time or a trusty familiar. I don't know, what do you think of it?

This would kind of solve @ravudha 's worries, you would need to spend time and effort to get those emotes.

Emotes are part of RP. Steven wants to put the RP back into MMORPG.

Similar to how I want a variety of idle emotes it would be fun for pets/familiars/summons to have a few, too.

I don't see what the problem is. Sure you may not like them but that doesn't mean you should deny other people their fun (in this case anyway).

would this by for summoner pets or normal pets?

I prefer things to 'fit' in the world and some things ruin that for me; pet's dancing (to pop culture songs from Earth) is one of those things (or doing emotes not realistic for the kind of animal it is). Festivals that mimic Christmas or Halloween are another.

I wouldn't want to see a gingerbread house skin on a freehold just because someone thinks it's fun; I don't want to see those other things for the same reason. That's just my subjective taste and personal preference. Most of us draw that line somewhere.

have you seen the world we live in? Vanity is everywhere

I don't really mind them, and if it keeps an animator employed, I don't really want them to be out of a job, just because work on the game wrapped and now they're off to another project. So lets keep em working for the company!
