Emotes [STICKERS]

[marble crater]

animation preview in comments, fix if you want to! - changed movement emotes to sticker emotes like the discord emojis

Animation Preview

[marble crater]

im gonna edit this to have sounds

[marble crater]

poorly stopped the recording but still is good 😄 [could not find exported files]

[dry musk]

What is the point of this? If you want to do something, just do it yourself.

In what situation is someone gonna be like, “Oh, I’m gonna use the wave emote to say hello even though I could always just do it myself and a lot more efficiently.”

I’ve seen an emote suggestion before and it came down to why have emotes when you can just do it yourself.

[fervent marlin]

Umm if I’m correct #1214971036664074301

[dry musk]

I’m a bit confused whether this is a suggestion or art, but I’m pretty sure it’s a suggestion, she just doesn’t describe it.

[fervent marlin]

I mean it’s a animation with a yeep hand so it’s art

[dry musk]

I see where you’re coming from but I’m thinking it’s showing how you would activate the emotes (?).

[fervent marlin]

Huh

[fervent marlin]

Oooooh it’s a emote

Like from fortnight

[dry musk]

Yeah

lol

Although it could be silly, it’s not needed and is pretty useless

[marble crater]

pretty much like when you dont really have much motion [1 handed or like the cameras on a oculus to track controllers]

and also a channel kinda like comissions or maybe even a tag

[odd wind]

why would we need this in a vr game

[marble crater]

you make your own emote but then a new set of rules would have to be applied

[marble crater]

i have no idea

just the gorilla tag mod that allowed you to do the fortnight emotes was the main inspiration [P.S: emotes could cost 100-800 buttcoins]

[marble crater]

you know the cheat codes on old games with the combination? press B and A at the same time [1 controller: side button and trigger]

[marble crater]

A or with one hand press the joystick down

[dry musk]

Still not needed

[glass sleet]

:|

no.

Just do em yeself

[mint gull]

Maybe this could be useful for mute players if it was like emojis over their head, but actual emotes are not useful.

[marble crater]

yeah, for mute players

[glad spindle]

I can already emote

And so csn you

You just gotta

Dance

[marble crater]

?

[proper willow]

I don't really like this idea

Why would we need emotes in a game where you can move freely

[dry musk]

Like I said earlier, there’s no point for emotes.

[proper willow]

Imagine paying in game currency to move when you can just move😭

[marble crater]

more of people who are mute can emote [new idea instead of movement it's stickers]

[proper willow]

Mute people can move too

[marble crater]

it's gonna be stickers instead

[proper willow]

I guueeessss

[dry musk]

If they don’t have their mic active, then they don’t want to communicate.

[marble crater]

so if you are trying to say something complex but you are microphone banned use the sticker

[random agate]

Fortnite

[dry musk]

And if they are mic banned, then they can just use letters or move their hands.

[proper willow]

(They can't use letters

[dry musk]

Oh, forgot about that

[proper willow]

The point of mic ban is NOT to communicate

[dry musk]

Silly me

[marble crater]

using stickers to communicate is what the change is

reuse of discord stickers could also be the change too

[dry musk]

Then why is it not in the main post?

That’s what the main post is for

To explain your idea, how it works, and what it does.

[marble crater]

Emotes [STICKERS]

alr

changed the comment with the image and the post title

[minor meteor]

What is the point of emotes in a VR game 😭
Just do it yourself

[noble field]

This idea is horrible this is not fortnite

[marble crater]

Please read the title and comment!

[marble crater]

Microphone banned people so then they can communicate without saying anything rude

[amber crater]

No

You have hands

Do some sign language

[amber crater]

Uh it’s still fortnite

[marble crater]

Stickers as in the emojis on discord

[dry musk]

Why is this post still alive…

[amber crater]

Again that’s still Fortnite, they have stickers

And the whole point of a mic ban is no communication

That’s why no letters

No signs

No communication

You gotta get the sign language

[dry musk]

That’s like the 20th time someone said that in this post 😭

[marble crater]

they cant say anything rude to anyone when using stickers because it is like the drawn stickers in this discord

[dry musk]

Do you not understand what he is saying? The point of a mic ban is no communication.

[rapid fox]

People like me have our mics muted for a multitude of reasons

[amber crater]

Still, they have a filter on letters

[marble crater]

stickers dont have letters

[amber crater]

Thats basically what you are saying

It’s still no communication

[rapid fox]

Not all of us can talk or communicate easily, an emote wheel could get points out so easily, sometimes people can't talk

[dry musk]

Key Phrase: No Communication For Mic Banned Players

[dry musk]

Dude, you’re mic banned

[rapid fox]

This such a bad view point omg PLEAS PLEASE CHANGE THIS WAY OF THINKING I want to communicate, I have many reasons I want to do it not with a mic

[amber crater]

They can use letters

[dry musk]

Or signs

[marble crater]

I'm trying to get this happening so then people who are mic banned can communicate VIA stickers

[dry musk]

Or pet name tags

[amber crater]

If it’s not about a mic ban

[rapid fox]

I'm not mic banned, I chose not to use a mic, some people are mute in real life, what about them? And just ban stickers of they're mic banned, you have not played how I've played, you are not the expert on this

[marble crater]

oh

[amber crater]

Then buy a letter and use it

[dry musk]

Name tag, since letter was limited time

[rapid fox]

I've chose not to use a mic for 3 years, communication is hard, letters are so long to type

[marble crater]

i forgot about the conditions. . .

[rapid fox]

Read this please https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1413932741061251155 it explains everything and more

[amber crater]

Thumbs down, up, stop, and middle finger are options

[dry musk]

I never said I was an expert. The way you phrased a previous message made it seem like you were mic banned.

[marble crater]

some people cant read sign language, sorry!

.

uh

[dry musk]

creative signs

[amber crater]

Or nuh uh gesture

[dry musk]

Use the stop sign.

[rapid fox]

Greifing is hard to stop, defending yourself is hard, anything beyond yes and no's is hard, like I've said, I've been doing this for 3 years, it's not as easy as it may seem

Getting attention is another large issue

[dry musk]

Soundboard

Ig

[rapid fox]

Yeeps adding support could encourage other games with none

[marble crater]

please use a different gesture in text other than the middle finger...

[amber crater]

Stop gesture is free of cotton, free of butt coins if not owned

[dry musk]

That too

[rapid fox]

The stop sign helps, but it's still hard with other things, plus thinkk of the bigger picture, if yeeps can set a standard of good no mic support, than other games will maybe follow with something

[amber crater]

You use it in hide in seek if your a little kid

[marble crater]

lol

true

[amber crater]

Someone has flipped me off because I tagged him before 2.0

[marble crater]

oop-

[amber crater]

In hide in seek

They were muted

[rapid fox]

Ignoring the issue entirely because "there's alternatives" is a bad view point, they're hard or sucky alternatives, and I'm making it VERY clear right now, all I want is it to be worked on, idc if it takes a long time I want confirmation the issues recognized

[marble crater]

im pretty sure thats the crashout kid in their school

[rapid fox]

Sidelined or whatever I just want recognition

And there is currently none

[dry musk]

Why do you choose not to talk on mic?

[rapid fox]

I don't want to disturb other people, I live with others in a smaller space, and a few other things, but others have it worse

Some are mute, some are anxious of their voice

A whole pot of reasons

Broken mics

[amber crater]

I played gorilla tag without a mic, it ended very very badly

[rapid fox]

Wtc

Etc

[amber crater]

When I got my headset

[rapid fox]

It's gone fine for me, once again communication and especially grabbing attention, are very hard, think competitive scenarios, you can't grab attention easily

Making plays, strategizing

[marble crater]

i have been mic banned before, trying to get peoples attention by pointing at the challenge board to allow me to complete my daily challenges and nobody understood what i was saying

[glass sleet]

that was before they changed it.

before it was emotes in general (ie: wave, dance, etc.)

[rapid fox]

A big one for yeeps in wilds (which luckily doesn't happen much but still a bummer), people paint you as the bad guy, impulsive yes clicks, which I admit I'm one of those people sometimes, etc

[rapid fox]

Idk what you're talking abt

If it's Fortnite I don't play it

[glass sleet]

they were asking for emotes in yeeps.

[rapid fox]

Yes

[glass sleet]

not an emote wheel, pure emotes

[marble crater]

i had no idea fortnight had stickers, i do not play it

[glass sleet]

like dancing

[rapid fox]

Yeah that makes sense, a typed a bit too fast and kinda knew it, was just trying to get my point in a rush

But yeah emotes are useless, stickers are neat

[glass sleet]

yea lol
You replied to my comment before they changed it

but yea this would be cool

[rapid fox]

I did see them say "stickers" so I was a tiny bit confused, but stickers would be so useful, a menu typing system that visibly displays it would also be nice, I get a filter would take time but I'm fine with that

Also once again for anyone who sees this, this post is the hot spot for the general no mic rally and explains my side better, I think: https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1413932741061251155

[minor meteor]

Do you know what an emote is

[marble crater]

Stickers, like the Yeeps Discord emojis

not the movement ones anymore

[minor meteor]

Ok good

[amber crater]

Or movements

Dancing

Laughing

Or etc

[minor meteor]

bro

[minor meteor]

ts

[amber crater]

Dawg emotes are dance moves

[minor meteor]

Cuz movement emotes would be pointless

ik what they are bru

[amber crater]

Yea I know

So you know what emotes means

Alright

And yea emotes are pointless, just do them yourself

In vr

[rapid fox]

I'm voicing what I'm saying here https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1413932741061251155 because I feel like it will get more attention, but as not just the yeeps but the vr community as a whole we need to address this issue, I get this is yeeps but I'ma shift my view to situations in Orion drift: ((this is stuff from driftblitz as that's the main gamemode I play)) I get insults for not being a perfect goalie when I was the only one who stepped up to it in the first place, I cant explain myself if accidents happen that screw up a play wether it be my or another teammates fault, I can't signal strategies, warnings, I can't give help to my teammates in a way that I need to communicate what to do, I can't explain myself in any complex way other than yeeps, the only problem with their current system is that you need to pay for access to it, and the letter is one or a bit less than a month only and it's gone, it's hard to get attention, and isn't useful in quick situations

I am glad and proud of yeeps for doing what they have, it is very useful, but it needs improvements and isn't the only game with this issue, quite the opposite really

[marble crater]

uh

[odd tendon]

Ther should also be emotes for your eyes like doing an 🙄

[marble crater]

yes

[mint gull]

This gives me the idea of emotes where like you get set on fire visually or your hands explode, I don't know if I explained that well but hopefully I did.

[odd tendon]

You did

[mint gull]

I know that. I meant like something happens other than just a sticker

[hazy bolt]

if I see this image one more time im deleting every form of social media

ive seen this like 3.27 trillion times

[snow iris]

Just do the emotes ur self

[glass sleet]

this aint those kinds of emotes

these are like stickers

[snow iris]

Oh

[marble crater]

im back from my hybernation of 2 days /j

[marble crater]

heh

[glass sleet]

why are people still saying no lol

[marble crater]

this is more hated than ||the yeep teeth suggestion|| lol

[odd wind]

no its not

yeep teeth has 900 x reactions

[marble crater]

i said more hated, not trying to be rude : P

[tropic flower]

Emotes? In a game where you vam move freely? Why?

[marble crater]

they are stickers like the discord emojis

[tropic flower]

but you can just... make a symbol withs your hands or smth idk

[marble crater]

some people cant read sign language or they are mute irl so yeh

[hazy bolt]

i have no idea why people hate this so much

it would be really good for mute and deaf people, alongside those that have vc off or can't use their mic for whatever reason.

[marble crater]

yeah

[marble crater]

basically

😄

[marble crater]

revive

[rapid fox]

A big problem in the vr community in general is a lack of no mic support, so I'm glad a spark of suggestions like these has happened

[sullen radish]

Fuh nah cuh

[marble crater]

good luck in the other communities 🙏

also be kind!

also btw my pets https://discordapp.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1387911296313200841/1425168868145500160

[cursive wren]

I mean yeah something like body emotes would be dumb in a vr game
Although something like face emotions (similar to repo) would be kinda cool!

Stickers also sort of sweet but eh

[sullen radish]

It was a joke, sorry for offense

[hollow crystal]

This idea is good for mobile but not main game

So i kinda like the idea

But if it were for mobile it'd be better

[marble crater]

hi

[glass sleet]

why not main game?
theres plenty of players without mics

[hollow crystal]

Yes but someone already did something for it which was texting in yeeps

But as other people said do it with your hands

This is just a better idea for mobile then just main game

https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1421243704877777089

For being mute in main game

[marble crater]

i did not know while making this, sorry!

[hollow crystal]

It's fine bro

I like it

It'd very good for mobile

Great idea gng

[rapid fox]

I'd say giving multiple ideas is good, it's a problem that needs a lot more attention than it has so more ideas being mixed in the pot is great

[hollow crystal]

Yeag

[marble crater]

bees.mov

[marble crater]

wow this died fast

[marble crater]

well

:3

[marble crater]

y'all hate this so much lol

[warm fable]

Doesn’t really make sense to have emotes in a VR game…

[marble crater]

it's stickers

[slim aurora]

People really do not see stickers

This is a good idea, maybe we should get stickers like "hider over here!" or "follow me!"

I realized you made the #1415517250584187003 suggestion lol

[marble crater]

im gonna make art for that
