Emotes: We need a Crossarms Emote

  • The emotes currently implemented have good energy to them.
    There comes a point though, when traveling between locales on the wonderfully wide ocean that a player would like to see a third person view of the sea of thieves, which can be access through emotes.

    However,
    though we have a nice selection of emotes, none of them allows the player to pose a scene. the only emotes that we have that keeps us in 3rd person (good choice btw) is dance, sit, and wave.

    friendly as they are, its just not enough to appreciate the seen. to appreciate the pirate standing on the bow or by the helm as the water effects roll by.

    I think at some point a pirate wont feel like a pirate when they are constantly waving, or constantly dance. Sitting is nice, but we need another emote that stands. Almost valiantly as the pirate gazes off the sea. Something like a crossarms emote, or a salute emote.
    Sometimes people just wanna look at their pirate
    and the waving gets old and wont stand still, neither does the dancing, and the sitting -well its sitting

    Game needs a yawn.... for when it's getting late.

    Also like a good 'ol fashioned golf clap

  • definitely needs a threaten too.
    animation is tough and expensive and takes time so it hard to think of the best ones.

    Threaten would be an important one I think.

  • @black-mewz *Scene
    I completely agree!

  • I personally think a crossarms emote is needed to 3rd person appreciate the hard aesthetic work of the devs.

    It doesnt have to be crossarms, there can be another creative take for a third person standing still emote, that doesnt stop channeling until you decide to move.

  • @black-mewz Ah yes a threaten emote would be well used on those seconds before all the lead starts flying.

  • @radzz-the-drunk

    Though it would probably get you killed. It would only add to the comedy this game is already good for.

    I currently think our current emotes are too nice, and we need some mean ones.=

  • This would be my go-to for checking my character's appearance. I'm all for it.

  • I think a good 3rd person view emote is needed as well, at least so you can take a look at how you look. Cross arms would be perfect.

  • @natsu-v2

    HAHAHA yeah every time I load into the game I do an emote to see what I look like, y'know. Its the easiest way to see what you look like

    Do a lil laugh or clap emote.
    which makes me wonder if the laugh emote should be persistent so you know a pirate could look like he drank too much sea.

    Capin's havent stopped laughing now and the sea drowns him out but i can still hear him

  • @jdwolfe
    Yeah I think at the core here we need a pretty good 3rd person view emote that allows us to appreciate our pirate.

    If doing a crossarms emote is too much atm
    Then at the least give us a still 3rd person standing emote at some point.

  • @black-mewz I would be totally worth the death for me :D
    Worth it

  • @radzz-the-drunk
    Now this be a man I’ll see in hell,
    and up our tankards to men like him, for I’ll drink with this man.

  • @black-mews Aye, We shall fight and have a laugh about it after with some grog and music!

  • Yes we need epic poses. Like sword stance for when standing on the main sail ready to board a enemy ship.

  • @mcdader
    It would also be nice to sit on furniture.

  • @apocacide I’m sorry but I don’t understand what you are saying all
