Test Discussion New Emotes

Are the emotes supposed to end on their own after a while? It seemed like I was celebrating with sparklers for a really long time (until I got bored and decided to move).

Hey Red Five, I noticed that if I buy 2 of the same emote and I claim one it still says I can claim the second one I bought by accident, as if I never claimed it before. BUT it doesn't actually claim it or anything, just a visual bug of the text.

Can it be fixed? Other than that the emotes are great.

Yooooo you KILLED these Red. Very cool man. Well done.
Saiyan and table flip and dies are my favorite lol.

So are they gonna be sm and market? Or are some one some other? What are the costs associated for either path?

Some are free and some are MP exclusive. And yessss I also love how Red Five uses memes as emotes xD

Love the attention the game is getting , Keep it up

Love them, very nice. Although i think making marketplace exclusive emotes is not a good idea. There should be a way we can earn them ingame too. Like giving us single emote drops in time capsules, just to be able to get them without spending real money (even if the chances are very small).

Bug Report
For the "Death Metal" emote, Player B will not hear the sound effects in the following situation:
-Player A is using Death Metal emote
-Player B has not purchased the Death Metal emote

Even after purchasing the emote, Player B will not hear the sound effect unless they relog.

All Player B will see the Guitar visual effect

Feedback
If you get a bunch of Death Metal Guitars together, it doesn't necessarily sound very good:


That could be really annoying on Live.

Weird things start happening if the players have all the emotes registered properly and you have a mix of Boom Boxes and Death Metal Guitars in close proximity. One client may only hear the Boom Box while the other clients hear the Death Metal Guitar.

Feedback
The transition between emotes can be awkward:

great... now i want a pizza box head style....

Personally the Emotes should either not have sounds attributed to them or only the player that uses the Emote can hear their own sounds. You end up in a situation where you can start to impact the gaming experience of others around you. If a player chooses to spam the Death Metal or boombox emote beside you endlessly with the intention to annoy you, I shouldn't have to hear all those sounds ontop of the game sounds already.

love the animation additions they make a great touch on these emotes. things like the stereo and the table to flip..
great jobs designers for adding those little spices of flavor

I feel like this is the equivalent of those jerks who like to spam the Fireworks trinket non-stop at dev invasions. It is funny to the player using the trinket, but annoying for everyone else.

Feedback
As expected, the new emotes don't work well for all styles. Here are some examples:

Sticking Pizza into my Brain:


Using a Boombox as a Bat:

Feedback
One thing I noticed about the Death Metal Guitar emote is that the guitar has no shadow. It looks odd when you are looking at your character shadow and notice that something is missing. The same goes for all the other emotes where you are holding an object.

I'll just assume it is an engine limitation.

After running some more tests, it appears to be a proximity issue. If Player A starts using Death Metal Guitar and Player B isn't in "close proximity," Player B will not hear the song unless they relog or Player A restarts the emote.

Here is a demonstration:


It just happened that every time I saw the bug before, I was on the way to pick up the new emotes.

Could you post the bat playing some death metal? for.... scientific reasons?
