More idle animations

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

What do you peeps think of the idea of Blizzard adding more idle animations.. based on either class/race or weapons.

Think of the following:
- polishing your weapon
- flexing
- looking in the distance
- changing leg-placement
- fidget the player's armor (gloves or shoulderpads)
- yawn
- sigh (if a player just starts to AFK)

Your thoughts?

I mean, I don't especially like some of your excamples, but having 2 idle animations per situation alone would already be nice.
The nightelf bouncing is getting annoying.
And taking a seat while afking is, while being iconic, surely not the only way.

Of all the things that need more animations these are not it.
It would be better to focus on varying animations for things that people actually do, for actions.

Personally, I'm 100% on board with this idea. A few minutes ago I was in Shadowmoon Valley - Draenor listening to the image of Velen as he told me the story of his peoples escape from Argus and the tragedy of Saa'ra becoming a Void god. My Paladin, the dick he is, is just standing there yawning and rolling his eyes like a pompous asshole. Totally killed the mood.

I know FF14 has a few different 'Idle options', maybe there could be some different ones for each race that you could swap to if you'd like?

Ha! I'll be happy when Blizzard finally gives my Warlock his proper spell (pre)casting animation, not the mage animation we've been stuck with for all of BFA.

I'd rather it be on race, not class or whatever. It'd be a great way to add uniqueness to each race again since every class has new animations now and those animations are shared among all races which makes races less unique when compared.

Yeah, I recently posted this in another thread. You should be able to toggle those animations off.

I hate it how my resto druid looks like she is going to attack somebody after casting a Rejuvi.

This made me lol. Yea sometimes cutscene happen and my character will always do one of hes weird idle animation at the wrong time.
