This being on the front page made this thread so much better.

So, about the dancing... (reply)

Dancing is better than teabagging.

When someone would kill me in some impressive way in the Crucible I did not once see anyone teabag me, because they would dance instead. If dancing does nothing else I am happy dancing is in the game.

Going along with this, without dancing or something like it, a lot of people would use crouching, jumping, pointing, waving, whatever's available to look more lively (which I might actually prefer, if there were enough different things, but outright dancing is fine, and the variety of dances is cool).

That's it. I'm naming my Ghost "Lakitu" (reply)

You're forced into third-person in the Tower, the immersion should go out the window.

No, that's totally the in-universe experience of the Guardians. In the Tower, your ghost rips your soul out of your body and dangles it a few feet away.

There should be a mission that is literally the plot of Footloose. That would solve any immersion problems.

And for me, "Obligatory Tower Dance Parties" just really ruin all that - for example: When my Guardian returns to the Tower from an arduous trek through the perilous destinations of the alien-infested planets of our solar system - weary from battle, clutching grand treasures from the golden age that he acquired on his journey in his blood-soaked gauntlets, only to be greeted at the Last Safe City by a bunch of rainbow-faced idiots gyrating in a big rave circle on top of the Vanguard's long table... I have to admit I'm kinda pissed because immersion just kinda went out the window for me...

MMOs are far less compelling and able to sell their fictional narrative if, when in the shared ‘safe’ space, people can only mill about aimlessly and not interact in any fun ways. Dance is one way of selling that setting by giving people stuff to do. It's also a nice change of pace from the combat that happens elsewhere. I may not be rushing to dance myself, but hey, it takes all sorts, right?

I'm sure this will calm down once the real game is out and the "honeymoon" period has worn off. I'm sure you'll still find the occasional dancer, but I think it will probably peak during the first week of the final release and then fizzle out until it becomes more rare (hopefully).

Let me play you the song of my people... (reply)

And so then; the enemy danced.

Love it (reply)
