Add emotes!

Hold v to bring up a wheel in game.

I second this. Would be neat to have emotes in the game.

Emotes. I can take it or leave it I guess. But the day they take the V key and attach a menu to it is the day this game dies.

Why?

I've wanted more than just "Rock and stone!" bound to the V key for a while. Holding it to bring up an emote/voice line wheel would be nice... maybe not emotes, but just new voice lines? Although with the devs adding new "Rock and stone!" voice lines in the last update, I doubt this is on their minds.

The mission success emotes could be re-purposed as in-game emotes, though. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Devs said they may add emotes but atm they want to keep it simple.

You'd likely still tap it to "Rock and Stone". You could just hold it to let you say/do something more specific.

Combine that with the pointer and you've got a pretty robust communication system that should let you convey most things without text or voice.

Not needed. I understand emotes in PVP games with death cams (irritate the unlucky soul by t-bagging them). Plus we already have a couple of different emotes for end screen and I think that's more than enough. All you need is ROCK & STONE !!!

Eh, not really for or against this. I think the "rock and stone!" salute is enough, but I suppose having more emotes wouldn't hurt.

Fine with this, but the instant gratication of tapping V and with the instant salute needs to stay. You tap V to instantly convey approval, thank you, "that's hilarious". It means anything you want it to. It's perfect right now.
