Bigger emote wheel

So in fortnite you have an emote wheel, right? Wouldn't it make sense to have an expandable emote wheel so you don't have to keep switching emotes just to express yourself? Imagine holding your D-pad or arrows on a keyboard and it brings up a smaller subsection of emotes for each direction (up, down, left, right)

  • Bungie said they can't really add more emotes because of the way THEY designed the caching of the resources. Apparently they load the animation data, probably for physics simulations, into the dedicated auth host they have. It just makes no sense though. Other games figured this out two decades ago, but Bungie can't?

      While we’re at it, can we have an option to turn off finishers? Dang thing’s always going off unexpectedly in close combat.

      • Or they could always use the “less is more” argument in that it creates more consideration and importance to choice. You know, that old gem

      • I was thinking of holding down the trigger button to allow for 4 more emotes.

        • No, being able to emote with a single button press is one of the things D2 actually does right. A wheel is a terrible implementation that takes too long. There are other ways to expand the button set without introducing a wheel.

              • Good idea. Plus on console holding say, down on the D-pad to bring up a selection wheel would free up the rest of the D-pad for bungie to use

                    • I already upvoted this and commented on it. But like … Bungie … this really needs to happen. You push emotes so hard as rewards, Eververse buys, triumph rewards … let us have a more efficient way to use them. This forum is filled with poison and dumb ideas … this is not one of them. Like emotes or not, this is a positive change.

                    • It would make sense in the long run only because every other game has it and that’s it. I’m that miserable old fart who sees emotes as stupid and groan whenever I see someone using them in actual activities. Like my mates using the heart in the middle of Gambit just to suck up to some girl they’ll never meet.

                      • Yesssss even have it from the ghost menu and only available in social areas & exploration if need be, whatever. 4 emote, especially for people who've purchased emotes/silver, is pointlessly restrictive

                      • I agree, just hold one button to show the emote wheel, leaving the others open to fill in as you want

                      • I see zero downside to this. Could open up those other dpad buttons for customization on controller.

                      • There are so many times when I wish I had basic emotes like Laughing when you see a teammates body get yeeted across the area at the start of Dares or when someone gets bonked on the head by the dare core that falls from the destroyed ship. Other times I need to just point at something to signal something to new players in strikes. It's so odd that a social game like this has such a limit on social emotes.

                      • It should’ve been done when we asked for an actual emote wheel. Instead they did what we have now. Outriders had a proper emote wheel, and a quick and easy way to dismantle low lv gear at the same time. It’s laughable how Bungie can’t even get the small things right. They still have one of the worst transmog systems implemented in a game. While other games just do it free and easy

                              But there are only 4 buttons on the D pad. And holding it down would still activate the one linked to it.
