New Emotes and Text Options

  • I feel like the gestures and the pirate chat are one of the few things people haven’t made suggestions for. Some can be utilitarian but most are just silly. The best parts of the text are the puns and the jokes. I want to be able to express myself like a true pirate. This is a long list, pick your favorites.

    Text options:

    Man overboard!

    Who ate all the bananas?

    Thar be gold in these waters!

    I think I’m getting sea sick.

    Shiver me timbers.

    Walk the plank!

    Ye be an ugly one.

    Fancy hat ye got there.

    Get your hands off me booty!

    Swab the pooop deck.(misspelled to avoid censoring)

    Vote on me voyage ye salty dogs

    Yo ho, yo ho a Pirate’s life for me!

    Yarg

    We’ll be sleeping with the fishes

    Aye aye Captain

    Mutiny!

    No fighting on the pooop deck.

    Bombs away!

    A snake bit me

    Who’s steering our ship?

    What’s that noise?

    What a bountiful treasure

    They be landlubbers

    We’re getting robbed!

    We’ll be drowning in our sorrows(Sorrow Chest text)

    That’s a big fish

    Ahhh Tentacles!

    I see birds

    I think we forgot the cages

    Why is the water red?

    Excellent docking

    Sketchy docking

    You left me behind!

    I’m marooned on an island

    I think we hit something

    Well hello there

    I think I’m lost

    We be swashbucklers mateys

    This is real piracy

    Fear me! I’m a legend!(only legends can say it)

    Emotes:

    Salute(British Salute)

    Threaten(holds weapons in a fierce pose depending on which weapons are equipped)

    Taunt(the chicken dance)

    Plank(lies down on stomach, like the meme)

    Cheers(thrusts tankard upwards and chugs it) if your tankard is empty your pirates looks inside and shakes it upside down while frowning

    Defeated(drops to your knees and weeps)

    Tough times(pulls out an empty gold sack and looks in then shakes it upside down while shaking head in disgust)

    Prosperity(throws gold into the air. Costs 1g to do the gesture)

    Squat(pops a squat. supposed to look stupid)

    Hide(curls into a ball)

    Go forth(sticks sword into ground upside down and points with the other hand with a serious expression)

    Adventure awaits(leans forward with one leg behind on it’s toes while shielding your eyes with a hand as if your looking on the horizon)

    Stand ground(crosses arms while looking sternly)

    Scruffy(strokes beard(Strokes the air when you don’t have one lol)

    Jailbird(sits down slumped forward sleeping) meant to be used in the brig while against the bars but would look very funny in other situations)

    Savor(takes out a banana and peels it. Eating it in small bites like a proper gentleman. Consumes a banana and gives health)

    Juggle(Juggles cannonballs with a silly grin.)

    Whoops(begins juggling cannonballs but messes up and a cannonball lands on your head and you’re dazed and then one lands on your toe and you hop on one foot)

    Legendary(Emote only a legend can do. Thrusts special, glowing, light-blue sword into the air and the “We shall sail together plays”

  • Please, somebody read it :(. I put a lot of thought into this.

  • That’s way too much stuff to be fumbling through when I’m trying to find a relevant phrase

  • @admiral-greyjoy
    I’m not suggesting they add all of those. I just threw in everything I thought to be interesting. Pick your favorites.

  • @private-ramb0 I think we'll have more emotes and more text lines (and free text features on Xbox too).
    It's just a matter of time.

    The text features is a requested and needed feature, since there's always new things and new activities coming. They need to keep improving. And I'm sure they're aware of that.

    The emotes, well, we've seen other emotes during test phases and it's not in our current game build. I'm hoping they are saving the release of new emotes to the right time.

  • These are some good ideas, but I also believe specific Texts should be tied to Emotes.

  • "Well hello there" is a fun one. But then you must also add "General Kenobi!"

  • I tried to make them correspond with the theme. Not sure if they do. Some are references
