Spear idle animation as a emote for thralls

Can the developers add or sell the spear idle animation as a emote for thralls please
It compliments them as guards

Most of my thralls don’t carry spears. I’d prefer just a generic weapon pose that matches the idle for each weapon. Depending on the weapon equipped, the thrall will use that pose.

It would be very nice to see the new armed idle animations (which are very nice) as an “On Guard” or such emote for Thralls.

Given how actively we move about, this one rarely sees the animation on the player controlled character.
But, as thralls will spend much time in the idle, it would be perfect for them.
How much more memory intensive is the display of weapons?

What thralls really need is for their weapon slot to actually hold the weapon. Kind of like our hotbar slot. Would save a slot in their inventory, and have the options to keep their weapons in hand.

Not really necessary if you’re considering the emote. If you use the work metal emote with a one handed weapon on a thrall, it’ll use the weapon (or tool) in their inventory.

As I’ve said on multiple threads, more emotes for thralls would be great. After all, we, the players, tend to be actively doing something other than fooling around with emotes most of the time, so most emotes are wasted on us.

Thralls, on the other hand, spend the vast majority of their natural life span just standing around looking good. Emotes would make them so much more immersive.

Me, I’d be willing to pay for thrall emotes if they were sold on the Bazaar. Emotes for myself, not so much.

The greatest reason i bought the Aquilonian dlc was the statues with the spears! Then again i loved to fix the silent legion statue just for the way the 2h sword is presented in this statue! So yes, i would like the option stand guard to have the specific thrall presenting specifically the weapon on guard stance! In this case, my guarding thralls would have more “spears”, because i really like the presentation of this weapon in guard stance! So i agree!

I wish i could answer on this, how could I know these details about performance, i am a PlayStation player with zero knowledge of performance! But imagine a base that 70 thralls have different e mote and 30 pets again e mote “sit”. Doesn’t this affect the performance anyway? We have cats and turtles going around our bases now and in some private vanilla servers the admins give rabbits going here and there all the time :man_shrugging:.
I really can’t say, i stopped building this way about a year now. When i play alone i minimize my followers and my base. I mostly participate in other people clans, meeting new people and share knowledge, but meeting new people is my highest goal! My participation is only supportive and it’s all i need :grin:.
