arasai fay dance is horrible

[steelblueangel]

The new fay's of neriak dance is horrible. There is little to no movement other than the head pumping up and down and a flourish of one hand at the end. What kind of dance is this? The felwith fay's dance is awesome and so creative. Who dropped the creative ball with the neriak fay's dance? The neriak fay dance is lacking in so many many things it looks more like a seizure than a dance.

I take it you don't watch South Park. Arasai= emo Fae. In South Park there was a dance off episode that had emo kids in it, guess how they danced.The Arasai dance is a pretty clever pop culture reference.

[Chay]

I don't mind th Arasai dance. I just wish everyone had a variety of dances. The Arasai one is cool compared to the original... "There's ants in my pants" dance.

Thumbs down to in-game pop culture references. WoW is one big reference and it really detracts from the environment/lore.

[selch]

We call it EMO dance.

[Image_Vain]

WoW has cooler dance moves imo

[Josgar]

WoW dance = bleh same with Guildwars If i wanted to watch Napolean Dynamite dance, I would be watching napolean dynamite.

[cr0wangel]

SWG has GOOD dance moves (with entertainers and master dancers) but sadly, none of this is in EQ. The bards can't even play music.

However I laughed my [I cannot control my vocabulary] off still and when I saw the Arasai dance for the first time that was what popped into my head...Emo Fae. I think it was a clever idea! *EDIT* HAHA "A R S E " is filtered....that's comical IMHO.

Arasai are from Neriak. Neriak is the City of Hate. You hate the Arasai dance. ... Working as intended. Seriously, though, there is no dancing in Neriak unless you work at the Maiden's Fancy... and no one wants to see your ugly little Arasai butt naked.

[Araxes]

At least they have a unique racial dance. And besides - everyone makes fun of the fae and arasai being "emo" -- so what better way for the devs to get a little joke in?  Ever been to an emo concert full of yuppie white teens? <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Hannalynn]

There is nothing unique about their dance. It's copied, it's terrible, and it looks like they're having a seizure.

[Themaginator]

problem is far to many old people play this game and take it way to seriously...so they don't really "Get it" i guess, go to a concert full of those little brats, you'd want to make fun of them to.

[StoneySilen]

I don't like it.

[Katsi]

Gee, when I first saw it, my reaction was to create a macro: /dance /say Gee Mom, do I haaaaave to? - Katsi

My Arasai's butt is cute!

[Princess Ariel]

LOL your post are so funny.  The arasai dance reminds me of when my 3 year old would have to go potty and would be holding it to make it to the bathroom.  Then the wipe across the face whoot I made it in time.

[Chay]

LOL! I can so see that. Why can't we /dance emo       (i'm too emo to mosh) /dance waltz     (for those formal balls) /dance frantic    (sort of what the original dance is) /dance twist      (think John Travola as an Ogre in pulp fiction) /dance thehustle     (flash back for all you old folks) /dance ballet     (fae dance for everyone!) /dance gogo      (kind of jumping and arm pumping) /dance macarena     (well... its so cheesy, like cheesy puffs)

<span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff99ff; font-family: comic sans ms,sand">I think the Arasai lore makes sense with the dance... a playful-natured little spiritbud gets violated, twisted, has their wings torn off, etc? I think I would feel rather incapable of jovial dancing as well. ^_^ That said, however, I can understand why some may not like it.</span>

[Rad]

I thought it was a great idea since I liked that episode of South Park... Even if you don't like it, you have to admit it's a step in the right direction when you look at the fact that we're getting racial specific dances.

[Bjerde]

I laughed when I first saw the dance. It is kind of lame, but I got the Emo reference right away...that is the funny part. They made Arasai so emo, lol.

[Seraki]

<p>When your fillled with hate your too tired to dance.  LOL   I dont mind that much really as the hair kind of makes it worth it.  </p><p>I do agree with the variety reply.   Every race should have their own dance.</p>

[Xakkoriz]

Yeah, even some of their hairstyles are emo-ish. I hate how people give them pink hair and butterfly wings though... everyone should give them the demon/bat style ones... they are evil after all.

[Cica]

<p>Yeah i didnt really like the dance when i first saw it, but i been wondering why we dont have different dances, something like Chayna mentioned. I played Anarchy online for a bit they had some fun dances, dont remember much but one was /pulp it was from pulp fiction, and i loved it <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p>yeah we girls cant get batwings <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </p><p>Edited spelling</p>
