Talk:Oni

From Guild Wars Wiki

Watching my boyfriend playing in the Jade Sea somewhere and there were a group of 5 Oni. As he approached them they ran onto a bridge. He stood watching them for a while wondering why they ran away and noticed that they were making beckoning gestures, as if calling him forward. Is this a typical Oni animation or is it just for that specific group? Cause that's freaky as hell! And of course, it was a trap and 5 more Oni spawned on the other side of the bridge. - BeX 16:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Are those the Oni that drop Ungues of the Oni? If so then I think it is just that specific group that does it. --Rainith 16:10, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

He says he is in Rhea's Crater. I've never been that far into Luxon territory, I'm ashamed to say. They really creeped me out though. :o - BeX 16:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

(DOUBLE EDIT CONFLICT) Wow... yes, some enemy models do seem to have their own emotes, but I've never heard of them being used like that. Sounds like it was intended to be used like that, unless itw as a massive coincidence. I've always considered Oni to be the scariest creatures in the game, the way they just pop out of nowhere and massacre your party with their grey, tattered skin... *shudder* --Santax (talk · contribs) 16:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

We sat there for like 30 seconds watching them beckoning. It's something that's so eerie yet cool! Ugh I'm gonna have nightmares! - BeX 16:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Did you catch a screenshot? Maybe something should be added into the article? --Santax (talk · contribs) 16:20, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I'll get a video of it sometime if somebody reminds me. :) - BeX 16:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Found that place. 5 Oni stood at the north-eastern end of the bridge doing /beckon... I approached them from southwest, after I killed them I went back over the bridge and another 6 Oni spawned - I had been at this place before, seems they spawn only if you cross the bridge from northeast to southwest. - MSorglos (talk|contrib) 19:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

(ri)I don't think it's unique to that group, it's just more obvious on them because there are several in the one spot and you have more time viewing them before aggroing. I tried popping one of the oni outside Tsumei Village and it looked like he was doing the animation too (he was facing the wrong way though). - BeX 13:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eerie beckoning gestures?

It doesn't look like beckoning to me. I've always thought it looked much more like working a knot out of their shoulder. 67.164.201.47 06:24, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
