please, please....

 

Don't forget this one

 

YES!

 

Guys, there's no need to start hammering on with suggestions for the devs, they've got plenty to do already. They're getting on with making the game as configurable and moddable as possible and all these little things like changing HUD size/position and emoticon personalisation will probably get handled by the community in time.

 

I wouldn't mind a "Multi-emote" feature, actually. Instead of just saying "BOMB" or "ARROW" (could imply a number of things), you could have "HAMMER - BOMB" (Build a Bomb Workshop!) or "BOMB - RIGHT" (Throw a bomb right!). "CLOCK - ARROW" (Sync/Time Arrows!), "BUILD - TOWER" (.. do I need to exlpain this one), "NO - LEFT" (Don't go left!), "LEFT - SPIKES" (It's a trap!), etc.
Not sure on uses for three, though. I think we should just keep it at two.

 

dont forget 'HAMMER- TIME' so folks know when to dance

 

Well since you replied and all, could they not be organised into subsections?

 

hello there! Why don' t you implement a key combination based system for the emoticons? to be more clear:

you divide the emoticons in categories and subcategories (and, for the sake of customization, you give this right of division to players too with the config file). so, when i press q, instead of emoticons i will see a maximum of 10 groups, enumerated from 0 to 9. i can select a group by click or by simply pressing the related digit. a category can have subcategories (with a reasonable cap of levels).
when you reach the leafs of this tree there are then 2 cases:

-less or equal to 10 emoticons , and in this case they are enumerated from 0 to 9
-more than 10, so the only solution is selecting them by clicking.

I believe a lot of you will think this is tricky, but consider this :

The casual player doesn't usually use the actual q system, because the 0-9 shortcuts system mostly feeds all his/her needs ( and talking about 0-9 system yes, making it customization friendly is a brilliant idea :D) .
When the casual player, or worse, the veteran player, needs more expressiveness, there comes the frustration of passing from a keyPressed system to the awful "findAndClickTheEmoticonInAClusterF*ck".

the new system i explained, linked to a smart vanilla categorization from the developers, would ease the learning curve for the casual player with the team communication methods, while would give to expert players faster means of communication, and an articulated customization of key bindings.

Finally, i would also suggest a toggle key to switch the emoticon visibility from all the player to just your team.

Oh, and btw i love this game, and i am eager to play the new scripted version :D


EDIT: aaaand anKR ninjaPosted me. damn it xD

 

Obviously! this is just some icing in the cake, could be also done by the modders ( or me if i feel inspired xD). keep up with the good work guys ;)

 

Hey, I have an idea for how to implement the multi-emote system properly. Perhaps if a player just does 2 normal emotes in quick succession, instead of the new emote replacing the old one as it does now, it just goes to the side, and also becoming centered like the hearts do.

Unfortunately, if this system DOES come into place, it'll be the last time people do "25". (Unless the limit is two/three emotes, and if you try to input more, it just shoves off the last one. Then you'll get THREE TIMES the "25"!)

 

If you had a double click for each one then that'd double the amount and it wouldn'ty be too much pissing about, many of them need to be quick and you can't take your fingers off wasd, so if you had a simple double press/triple press etc kinda system that'd help, all this kinda shit is very much for the mods though. I personally couldn't give two fucks about most emotes anyway as most of them have little use that another couldn't fulfil anyway, but if they give the geti/mm some time away from some bug that they're getting nowhere with to feel like they're getting something done for a couple of hours then fair enough, they do give the game alot of character afterall.

 

Just make a smaller pie inside the existing one. Problem solved.

 

Voice recognition software so when you scream "fuck" in real life it will go straight to the bird in game.

 

Best fucking idea of these 12,000+ messages fellere.

Here's one, nerf Maverick's bombs so that they do 50% less damage.

Dem boms two stronk mun.

 

How about tactical and emotional emote circles?
The emote screen would be changed to the tactical emote screen, and another button would bring up an emotion emote screen.
(emotion emotes would be :);):(:DX3 etc... and tactical ones would be )

 

how about a minecraft dirt block emote? so when i se a retarted minecrafting builder i can be like (dirt block)

 

I use it all the time! You get close to a knight and laugh at him, then hammer or arrow spam him to death!
