Shared Emotes

Be interesting but may require some new tech for rare

Action 1, player 1 uses emote-waits
Action 2, player 2 uses emote within close range or player 1,waits
Action 3, emote plays out at same time between player 1 and 2
(I’m sure it more complex or less then that)

Of course we could get some fancy emotes out of it.

• dark dealing. One player gives another player sack of gold, looking around.
• roll dice, both players kneel down and toss dice and 1 cheers, 2 disappointed.
• Hand shake, both pirates spit into each other’s hand and shakes hands.
  Etc

Fine idea

Aren't there already some? Maybe I'm confused, but I thought there are some already like the Titanic one.

Well, technically yes, but in reality both players have to own the separate emotes, manually line it up, and time it, whereas the suggested TF2 format would be only 1 person needs to own the emote, and then the other person gets a prompt to join in at a single button press, whether they own the emote or not.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for it. I just thought it was implied that they do not exist yet. But that would be cool as long as one player could not activate it for you when you don't want it to.

Yeah the first player would have to activate an emote, and then there'd be a short timeframe in which someone can join them. Think like they stick their hand up for a high five, and then if they're left hanging for like 5 seconds, they put their hand down. But if somebody presses or holds some interact button in range, both players will emote together.

It could work similar to shanties, where when one starts playing and another starts in ear range they play the same song together. So starting the emote and then someone else starting the emote within range would play out the animations together.

@abjectarity

Could be something like that, or you open the Emote window, and then there's another button for "Join Emote" in there, so only one player needs to own the Emote for others to join in.

I want to conga dance with my crew around my ship's deck!

This suggestion is one I've long hoped for, ever since emotes were first announced to be coming to SoT.

Conga conga con-ga! Conga conga con-ga! Let's do it lads!

This would be excellent for impromptu alliances. People don't want to duel bc trust and they don't want to go equip the d20 and someone has to get first pick.

Yeah like @BurnBacon had the idea of one where you spit into your hands and handshake. That's a serious alliance formation right there and you'd have to be a real bad pirate to break that trust.

I want the moving emotes like in TF2 as well. Imagine an emote where you pull out a pig and ride it like a horse.

@sailorkek I adore those. I've got the Tank for my Soldier and everyone always thinks the cannon shots actually do damage. Would love to see similar ones here. The pig idea is great, I could also see like "Barrel Roll" being a good one where you're in a barrel and rolling away.

@lantanadan How about allowing the barrel disguise to "walk". Like it slightly lifts up, you can see the feet tip-toeing, and they move about as slow as maybe a person about to sword lunge, and then sets down with a "thump" and shutter. Actually, perhaps it could also allow for stuff like crawling for sneaking. I'd certainly love it when I am trying to hide in the brush as a player investigates for my last position.

@sargent-sully Getting awfully close to a MGS box. But to be fair, that's also in TF2, so I guess we have to allow it. :D

@lantanadan Plus I mean titles like Legend of Zelda Wind Waker also had Link able to sneak under a barrel. Even the canceled sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day was to have its own stealth portions with something similar. Also, who hasn't done it themselves? When I was a kid I used to do it with this laundry hamper we had. It was all fun and games until my sisters stacked a bunch of heavy books on top trapping me under it.
