Adding emots

o_raffie · 01-05-2007, 01:22 PM

Would be very cool to add body emotions to the game like WoW or EQ and the other MMORPG.

I know the FF programers could do it. Also it'd be something that I have not seen in any FPS.

Eww like that crappy game unreal does.

You could do that in Quake3 with taunt. It's crap.

What I would like to see is, like in Q3, a little speech bubble above a players head when he is typing, so that you KNOW when someone is typing. Bugs me when you kill someone and they say "Hey I was typing, nub". Actually, it doesn't really, I just think "oh well" and carry on, but would be a nice touch. Might need a time limit e.g. you have to be doing it for 3 seconds before it appears, otherwise binds could be shafted. It may have also helped if I'd mentioned it 2 years ago rather than a few weeks/months before release. Hopefully someone has already got there!

People need to stop typing in games it isn't IM. It irritates me so that I have no text sound and I sometimes hide the text altogether.

So you don't like chat shooters? hehe

How about the game pauses when someone is typing? HAHAHAHA

Didn't you guys get the memo? It does pause when you type. You also get double damage for correct spelling and punctuation.

o_player · 01-05-2007, 05:02 PM

Rofl

How about half damage for poor spelling and punctuation? : )

Thats an instant suicide. That'll teach those bastards to spell properly...

o_dr zoidberg · 01-05-2007, 05:25 PM

But what about the suicide animations, anythings gonna be done? =D

I think taunts and crap would get annoying really fast, but I'd be happy to see some things like pointing emotes. Like pointing up/down/foreward.

*point* (you) *point* *point* (go there)

It'd be fairly useless in matches where everyone should be talking to eachother, but it'd be great for fostering teamplay on pubs. I've actually wanted to use a feature like this countless times during play.

yeah, I have too.

o_nezumi · 01-06-2007, 04:54 AM

But this has all been discussed before.

Normally I hate the argument that something shouldn't be included because it'll delay release, but I think in this case adding whole new model animations would be a significant time investment just when the team is trying to iron everything into a releasable state. Also, from what I'me hearing, model animations are already one of the things holding up the release.

But as for a future patch...

Edit: Wahay! 4444 posts!

o_player · 01-06-2007, 05:08 PM

Oh yeah, animated taunts are boring; I much prefer text-based taunts : )

o_mikefed · 01-06-2007, 06:31 PM

Those kinda animated emotions always seemed to me to encourage idiocy, someone abuses it too much, other players get pissed off, game degenerates.

Edit - This is quite clearly a suggestion, there is a forum for this stuff.
