Thread: Etiquette for Command Respect?

I just got the Command Respect skill and am hesitant about trying it out.

Is using the skill in a crowded area (like a vault) the sort of thing that will get you black-listed?

lol..

This is what happens

Do it more than once to me and yes, do it many times and get reported for harassment.

These forced emotes are asinine but Turbine refuse to make them optional so black-listing those that make me suffer them is the only thing I can do.

I've never understood why it makes people angry or suffer (as the last poster put it) but it doesn't matter if I understand or not; if people don't like it, don't do it to them. I make sure to only use that skill among close friends and people who have specifically asked me not to.

EDIT: I meant people who have specifically asked me to.

I only use Command Respect when I'm among friends. Usually at the end of a raid, to make them all bow down to the Captain who single-handedly won the day for them.

Seriously, though, just use common sense about it. Running around spamming forced emotes for no reason wins you no friends.

Like with the festival consumables, I think there's a hidden deed to use it 500 times so, use it everywhere, all the time. Spamming it in a crowded vault area is the fastest way to complete the deed.

Lol...I always think of this when I use it.

@ the OP: there is no deed, just so you know. Save it for friends and kinmates. While the cool-down is long enough that a single person can't really spam it, there are enough annoying people in the game that will use their group emotes in busy areas that it can be...annoying.

I like to use it when I arrive in the instance for a kin raid or skirmish. "KNEEL BEFORE ME!" Then some burglar generally makes everyone sneeze.

Never purchased the skill... Never will.

Seemed like a cheesy way to get "respect". I like to earn it.

I use it for defensive purposes against those that spam forced emotes on me.

You are a Captain Feldermaus, a leader of other men. People are suppose to respect and kneel to you So I would use it without discretion. And anyone who would blacklist you over such a trivial thing is so petty I would prefer them on my blist anyway lol

Well, it does have a 2:30 cooldown so it's not exactly spammable. Plus it doesn't hinder gameplay in any way.

festival consumables are infinitely more annoying than the class ones

It's the kind of thing I only ever do once to take a screenshot and annoy people. Most people don't tend to mind the odd one-off, but stand there hitting it every two and a half minutes and people may get a tad irritated. Of course, the only real issue you face is that when you use yours, it seems to inspire others on other captains, champs or minstrels to use theirs too. This... this is much more annoying.

I'm a captain, Kneel before me!

I do this whenever I want, have never been reported for it, can't see how being reported for it would do anything because it's a legitimate skill in the game and can't be used to inhibit a player's movement like some of the festival consumables that make you fall over.

Etiquette? Use it when people aren't moving around, that way they go through the whole animation and you get the respect you deserve.

If someone whines at you about it... I would avoid that person because they are a stooge.

It's always better if you can say something funny just before you hit it.

"Let me lead you all in a moment of prayer. Please kneel."

"Kneel and take a good look at the a$$ next to you. Your fellow expects you to cover it in this fight."

"Oh man, I dropped a gold piece when I pulled my sword. Do you see it?"
or
"Quick, find my contact lens. I'm gonna need it for this fight."

"Duck while I get his attention!"

i usually yell, "KNEEL SERVANTS!" and not the zod line i said above, though i always THINK the zod line...


but this line of yours brings a favorite to mind, James Coburn (the only guy better with throwing knives than my avatar!)

"Duck, you sucker!"

LOVE that movie!


I think its gonna be my new Command Respect line! thanks!

The line...

BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!!!!!!!

...is another good one to use with the emote.

Yes, there is. Most captains don't know about it because they're too uptight to use Command Respect. Spam it and complete your deed!

Screen shot or it didn't happen!

etiquette? You are a Captain, etiquette dictates people kneel before you.
Turbine has just given you a way to discretely remind them of that.

Tupac lived in Marin County and died in Las Vegas... im confused hehe

There was one time people actually thought the game had made them kneel. A bit of a spoiler follows, if you (gentle reader) have not finished the quest line to reforge Aragorn's sword (Evendim), you may want to pass this by...



After smacking around a big turtle, our group always stays together to do the final instance in Rivendell to watch the reforging of the sword. I had done it once before and knew the moment was coming when Aragorn presents the sword, but it was the first time through for the others. I queued up my own "kneel" emote, hit Command and then my kneel, and everyone kneeled before Aragorn at pretty much the the same time--they all thought it was really cool. No one knew I'd done it until much later when folks who had done the quest before compared notes with our group.

"I loved at the end, where we all kneel as he raises the sword."
"Huh? Never happened to me."
