This gives me a better idea of what kind of resource this "grass" is. :o

Here's my Quick-List for Desired Voice Marcos;



"......waaaaaaaaaa.....waaaaa....waaaaaaa..... ."
(sound of baby crying - can only be used ONCE/hr - to prevent endless/annoying spammage)

"REALLY ?"
(the quicker you repeat this phrase, the more overly-sarcastic, incredulous, smart ass, and high-pitched the voice inflection goes....)

"KNOCK KNOCK"

"IDIOT"

"BITCH"

"BITE ME"

"THANKS FOR THE RIDE"

"GET OVER YOURSELF"
.

"Incoming BFR" would be useful too, at least the voice recording. T-Ray at least wants BFRs back, although in a non-ridiculous, balanced way.

How about "Incomming High Heels" but only available for TR or NC to shout when VS BFR's are spotted?

"CONTACT!"

Directional indicators (Contact right!) would be great, but a basic contact would be just fine. Maybe use a different term for different empire-specific voices? Beware, Enemy, Howdy, SHIT. Something like that.


Freshly minted expletives would be great. Frell/frack/Fwutever-ftu-fdecide-fto-fmake-fup. Empire-specific or otherwise. There's a common culture to draw from at some point.

You know what would be hilarious. If in the cash shop we could pay the voice actors for extra custom voice macros that SOE would okay, but they'd be unique to the buyer.

So long as only the buyer can hear them, it'd be fine.

As soon as N-hundred people get a couple voice macros each, that rapidly adds up to a whole heap of space on the hard drives of folks who haven't paid for 'em, and don't necessarily want them.

Now if you pay to "redo" various set macros, that's another matter entirely. Everyone else here's the original audio, while you alone get the custom stuff? Perfectly doable.

I'm going to take a shot at the AFK animation:

1. Exercising: Push up's, Crunches and jumping jacks. Mix in some panting and maybe drinking from a magical ass canteen for kicks.

2. Sit on the ground and rest. Once again, mix in some creative things like wiping sweat off a brow, lacing up boots, Drink from that magical ass canteen again (Don't ask me why this is a reoccurring theme) or even laying down.

3. PDA/Computer interfacing: The AFK player will take out a Empire specific Personal handheld computer of some variety. The kind of device that would contain maps and valuable tactical and strategic information. (Like Smeds phone number) The player would interact with the device with their hands, maybe even facial expressions or voice acting.

In all honestly, I think the best AFK animation is a combination of several of these ideas and those similar. Sit down, Drink water, randomly check your computer to see if Hamma Unbanned your account, Exercise....variety. Have it manifest randomly so nothing get's to repetitious and unnatural. The goal is to try and keep the 4th wall intact while still communicating the idea of being AFK.

YES PLZ! I want this!

[Trolltaxi]

If you are checking the map/options/squad panel/outfit panel/etc.., your character should show that with an animation, like messing with a pda, or looking at his boots fingers on his earphone (as if he was receiving something on his com).

[Talek Krell]

That would be awesome for cloakers.

[Raymac]

Very cool ideas, but if they aren't doing animations for getting in and out of vehicles, I don't know how much hope there is for afk animations.

[Talek Krell]

It would probably be easier to do, but that's a fair point.
