Emote ideas

  • figured this could be a cool discussion topic. i thought a laying on your back emote would be cool, maybe a sitting on an invisible chair emote aswell, maybe a sneak emote just to mess with players after you have maybe revealed yourself to them, or to communicate to teamates that you want to be sneaky. also i think traversal emotes like what fortnite has would be cool, such as a limp emote. if you guys have anymore ideas, i would like to read them

    A lot of those are good ideas, but we can't have a sneak emote (or at least not one bought from the Emporium), as it would be a Pay-to-Win system, and that goes against the game's core.

  • @ultmateragnarok ? what kinda sneak emote did you think i was talking about, i was thinking a tip toe, maybe finger to the mouth emote.

    also i think pets can kinda be pay to win, because sometimes they will walk to tuckers wont they, or maybe im just crazy. i remember watching a video where someones pet walked and was chilling with tuckers, although it could have just been random pet movement

  • @d4m0r3d

    Pets move entirely randomly around the ship, as far as I can tell. They seem like they're using the AI that animals on islands use without running from players, running from gunfire and otherwise ignoring everything else. When you said 'sneak emote', I though you meant something that helps people hide on ships. Some kind of tip-toe or shush emote would be fine.

  • @ultmateragnarok lol yea i wonder what else they could add, other than the sleep emote we already have, maybe a more crunched up fetal position sleep, so their is less space taken up idk.

    and with what you say about the emotes being used this way, im sure this will accidentally happen eventually with an emote they make. they never intended for the sleep emote to be used that way.

    you know what, thinking about it now, i wonder what happens when you face a wall and do the kiss emote (or is it the coin flip one, idk the emote where you lean forward for watevr reason), i wonder if that would provide a standing tuck

  • @d4m0r3d

    The main reason that people are capable of sneaking around like that is because they are lower than the normal area where people are looking. Alongside the player's visible portion being very small and blending in with the ship, it can be very difficult to find one of them if you aren't looking for them. Trying to make a standing emote work similarly likely wouldn't work.

  • @ultmateragnarok not true, there are some tuck spots that work amazingly, however they put your entire pody at face height, and put you in places where they will commonly look directly at you. for example the sloop, you can hide on the back canopy kinda side bit. everytime they go and raise anchor they will be looking right at you. its not always about being out of sight, more just blending it. the whole thing about tucking is getting your head in a wall so your nametag doesnt show. if your nametag didnt automatically show, or if you could hide it, im sure people would probs just use the regular sit emote and sit in a corner to blend into the wall, or any other emote that keeps them stable. with this kissing emote or watever i imagine you just standing with your head in the wall, if you are lower deck and the lights are off, im sure you could fool alot of people. another example of being in people sight while tucked would be cannon tucks and anchor tucks, both of these spots put you in places people are litterally, sorta zoomed in on you and are just in places where people frequently have you in vision

  • @d4m0r3d

    Yes, one of the more exotic spots is just behind the aft mast on a galleon, and a spot people look at all the time is behind the wheel, yet both are used. Sometimes people just don't notice obvious things.

  • They should just add a real animation to the chairs that exists in the game, they did it for the rowboat so why not chairs aswell?

    Would be nice if they were on a different key than picking up stuff atleast.

  • @itz-majman true it would be nice to actually be able to sit down, if we could, then we would be able to sit at the tavern and drink with our mates, although i would still like a sitting on invis chair emote so that we can just chill, it might look good on stairs, as if you are sitting on the stairs, or you could do it against the wall to make it look like you are sorta leaning on it and relaxing, you could also do it on the sides of ships to make it look like you are sitting on the railings

  • I'd like to see an emote where you:

    • squat down and roll 2d6 (play c.raps),

    • 'play fetch' with your active pet,

    • make your pet do a trick before feeding it something from your food inventory,

    • pretend to sing,

    • adjust and correct your clothes,

    • remove your hat (if applicable) and wipe the sweat from your brow,

    • bob, weave, and shadowbox (as if psyching yourself up for a fight),

    • beat your chest with both hands while letting out a roar (think King Kong),

    • play paper, scissors, rock (paper),

    • play paper, scissors, rock (scissors),

    • play paper, scissors, rock (rock),

    • inspect, clean, and load a firearm you have equipped,

    • Make large, exaggerated hand motions as if you're telling an epic tale by a campfire,

    • wrap your arms around yourself and shiver as if cold,

    • pull at your collar (if applicable) and/or fan yourself as if hot,

    • hold one hand out in front of you in the universal sign for 'stop!',

    • beckon with one finger,

    • Raise sword (if applicable) or fist triumphantly into the air

  • One of my favorite emotes is the "Make friends" emote, especially from the fact that you have a special function attached to it which makes it rather immersive.

    I wish more emotes would have special "abilities" like such. Imagine a "whisper in ear" emote that would let you "private voice chat" directly to the person you are whispering to without others hearing (or maybe at very low volume), could add interesting strategies, especially with alliances 😈

    A sparing emote that would allow duels between pirates could be cool too, leaving the loser at 1 life (so you don't kill your enemies either if you were having a friendly duel between crews) ⚔

  • @d4m0r3d said in Emote ideas:

    fortnite

    Nope

  • @bloodybil omg i love the idea of being able to declare a duel with your teamate. i guess if both of you do it, it would make it so both of you can kill eachother, you will be able to do this untill one of you dies. i would love that.

  • @bactatankbill a singing emote would be cool, so would an emote that adjusts your clothes, or dusts you off, rock paper scissors is a definite, they 100% need that one.

    alot of cool emote ideas

    Might make the pink flame too easy to get if you could kill your teammates by your own hand though, but sparing with crewmates would indeed be so much fun and help practice combat!

  • @bloodybil its not that hard to get atm, you either find bad pirates and let them kill you, or you find friendly pirates and tell them to kill you. plus they could simply make it so you only get the flame from enemy crews, wich i think is how it already is. cause teamates can still kill you rn, all they have to do is keg you. and i dont think that gives you a pink flame now, so if they added this emote it probs already wouldnt give a pink flame
