Emotes we need/would like to see in SotA (Sticky please!)

This would be the glory of crowdsourcing! If Portalarium would release a rigged character to the developer community, I'm sure it would be easy for us to create thousands of custom animations. This slightly treads on the 2.25M stretch goal that was going to allow a small amount of customization to the online game, but would go a long way to increasing the playability of the game. Hopefully this can happen, even if not until Episode 2!

 

I would like to point out that I am not suggesting a /twerk emote!
I am a man of taste and desecration.

 

Also, emotes should show facial expressions if possible. That is one thing FFXIV got right...but I'm not sure how complex the programming would be for that...

 

FYI, this is actually known as "4 horns," because...well there are four horns in this motion.
Incidentally, there's a long story and an inside joke between my friends where we will sometimes say to each other "Four horns to that, brah!"


Other emote ideas:
/dismiss
Dismissive gesture

/beckon
Come at me, bro

/salute
Could be various kinds

/flex
Shows off your guns.
Can you believe FFXIV has no /flex!? And their commands require they be in lowercase.

+1 for teh lulz

 

Yo, true if one were counting the number of horns, I was of course referring to the number of hands engaged in making the emote. If one were to refer to the number of horns, then 'one horn' would be the same as giving somebody the finger (or a unicorn - or both).

Thanks for contributing Kilhwch!

 

/thriller
*leans forward and rotates slightly

/handstand
*does a handstand

/cartwheel
*does a cartwheel

/burp
*burps

/embrace
*offers "hug" emote to another player

/grimmace
*turns into a giant purple blob, or just makes a grimmacing look

 

Yes I agree. I think our characters should be able to express themselves as a part of the social aspect of the game, and also to show other emotions to get the point accross. so for example they could say 'woo hoo' and 'cries' or 'laughs' , or 'yawns' would definitely tell you something . I do want interactive as much as possible. So you can sit in chairs or sofas, lay in beds for example.

 

/bs
Emotes the following gesture:

 

/depressed

 

/Slit throat

 

I like emotes that auto-repeat such as dances or emotive gestures like laughter and clapping.

 

Shooting from the hips.

/puppyeyes

 

An emote for a victorious hunter having killed a ferocious beast.. Setting one foot on top of said beast and holding his or her weapon across their shoulders, with a smile and smug wink.

/victory or /victorious

 

I'll be playing the role of blatantly lewd chronic alcoholic, so I would need the following emotes to express my behavior:

/burp
/fart
/vomit
/PickTheNose
/seduce
/tempt
/harass
/lustful
/BrasDhonneur
/TheFinger
/TremblingHands
/cataplexy
/IncoherentlyMutter

I would also need some switches to trigger long lasting effects:
/totter
/hobble
/hiccup

XXX

 

/hats off
or /hatsoff

Emotes the tipping of one's hat in praise and gratitude to <target> for doing something appreciated.

 

/lean

So I can lean up against a tree or fence post when I just feel like standing around looking nonchalant. Maybe a /lean & whistle too.

 

Yes! Very James Dean, need some mirrored aviators.
