Fixing emotes.

[Devils_Lawyer]

I thought this simple solution was skipped and forgotten

It just sux, i was hopping for like :
- player A targets player B and asks him if he wants to /hug or not
- player B accepts it
- animation starts

Right so basicly the hug/slap/pet emote is some of the emotes that make u interact on a different level with another player.

And since im sure by now people have seen what a mess those emotes really is as not only is it hard to make it look nice, the other players character dosnt react unless they choose to do another emote in response.

Said fix however means that when u target another player and are close enough to them when selecting the emotes like hug/slap/pet/soothe and so on you will send a request.

This request will popup in bottom right corner (not mid screen) and if the other player opens it and accepts it (and your still near eachother) both players will automaticly be moved in position and perform a combined animation.

The request could have a short timer and never ever popup/interrupt or disturb someone unless they actively choose to open it.

Cause im sure SE plans to add more emotes in the future and i think we can all agree that the emote system could use an update.

I was expecting something similar to how TF2 handles their co-emotes. I probably should have lowered my expectations given 2.xx's track record.

But hey, /hug is highschool dance appropriate. Leave room for jesus!

Barboron has sent you a request to slap you.

Do you accept?

I apologize in advance to whoever gets the job of animating a lalafell slapping a roe in the face.

Nooo no no no do not make it a pop up request, even if it's that colored oval in the corner, unless you give us the ability to auto-deny in the options menu. Duel Request spam flashbacks from WoW. Ugh, damn you Goldshire.

If you just remove emote text in city, that's fine for me.
Emote spaming is annoying as hell.

Have you seen how high we can jump? It'd be a spinning backhand jump.

Can't even be happy that we got these emotes after waiting as long as we have, now you want them to work on an approval window for the receiving party - before the emote is initiated?

Please tell me that you are kidding. I am homeless and this is what you want them to focus their time on? >.>

In all seriousness though, this is taking RP a bit too far imo. It sounds interesting though, but I doubt they would do this.

The approval window as i mentiond would only last a short while and would never popup or disturb unless u choose to open it.

I never said it was THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE in this game right now but that dosnt mean that it shouldnt be looked into at some point.

All im saying is that if SE is going to bother taking their time to add new emotes where your character is suppose to interact with another then either make it properly or dont make it at all and spend that time dealing with other issues instead.

Cause we have alrdy seen what happens when they release content that arnt properly made or looked into (personal housing).
