First, the looking downtrodden or defeated emotes already exist: /e cry
It works well for multiple meanings, just make sure you have no target selected when you do it.
Second, a new emote as per your point & revised by me:
Name:"facepalm"
Description/Function:
The character raises both hands to cover their face in their palms
Shakes their head "no" slightly while facepalming, for about 1 second
Extends their arms forward, open palms, fingers together, slightly upturned; while making an "aww..." noise with an esqueued expression of discontent on their face (tilt head ever so slightly too)
The reason for having the emote finish like this is important is to, in effect, "point" at what you are trying to communicate about -- what you're facepalming about (i.e.: the body of a fallen foe or teammate, or the guy who just charged off solo Leeroy Jenkins style). A clear non-verbal direction indication is essential for a facepalm to communicate the context of what's being facepalmed, you see?
Potential market?
Roleplaying + PvE: Alerts, Lairs, etc. I can think of hundreds of moments where I would have loved to have had this emote
Roleplaying + PvP: smacktalking (an essential spice of PvP), but in a way that doesn't use verbal insults (so more civilized!) It can be used to light-heartedly tease somebody who just got horrifically owned in battle.
Roleplaying: frustration as situations or inanimate objects (i.e.: frustrated with your "broken" science experiment)
I really miss the sound of that National laugh... *sigh* Ha-ha-haaaw!
Speaking of which... y'all should watch this video (some of the most popularly bought emotes from that game, Battlefunds = their version of Zen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjD_Lq-1Xe8
Seriously, watch it, it's a brief video.
That's a lot of great ones FlyingFinn! People love ninja and military stuff.
Yet another golden emote EVERYONE would buy just to have.
/e facepalm
Pretty sure it's descriptive enough on its own, but....character bends arm at elbow, placing palm on face, lowering head and shaking it for three to five seconds.
Whoops! I guess this one was metioned already, my bad. Doh!
I'll have to change the name of mine so mine is an alternative of this one, more of an extended version.
You're right, that is a sure-fire seller. Frikin' golden!
Character has coffee cup(or better yet, bottled water) appear in hand, occasionally sipping. Animation loops until movement cancels animation.
All roleplayers, and even some other customers/players would kill for this one.
These are golden! The drink one in particular is one I've wish existed for a long time. I don't even care if it's in-game advertising with a name-brand bottle like Coke or Pepsi (hell we could use the money!)
Although "patience" needs to distinguish itself uniquely more as just having "arms crossed", and therefore different than "/e tapfoot" where you tap your foot impatiently while checking your imaginary wrist watch.
The character raises their right arm's fist over their head
The forearm and fist should be vertically pointed up
The the animation is functionally similar to sit_chair as it's held until moved
It is understood by the squad that they are to IMMEDIATELY stop moving as STFU! The squad should be quiet and frozen still enough to hear a coin drop onto concrete.
(optional) I highly recommend that the following local chat phrase is said on local when used (default bind?): "Hold! Everybody stop!"
Griz should have his animation updated in the "Sewer Rats" phase of Resistance before you enter the area with the scanner drones. This would serve to better advertise this premium emote to protential buyers.
Potential market?
Fans of military
Fans of Griz if #6 above is implement like it should be (i.e.: younger kids and older adults that remember the PnP Champions comic)
PvE: quickly inform the team to stop moving forward or hold their fire
PvP: quickly inform the team to stop moving forward or hold their fire
RP + PvE: IC runs with a military character (In-Character & Elite difficulty)
The character clenches across their side with one arm and hunches over slightly
The other arm raises higher above their head an wobbles around a bit feebly, index finger somewhat pointed out more (almost like you would if you were asking a question in a classroom)
It is understood by the squad that somebody is injured and needs a healer, ASAP!
(optional) I highly recommend that the following local chat phrase is said on local when used (default bind?): "Help I need a medic!"
I also highly recommend a red + icon is displayed blinking for 2.5 seconds above the player's head so other players know who needs a heal
I recommend this emote comes with a sound and HIGHLY recommend a 5 second cooldown. Do NOT allow this to be spammed; bad game developers if you fail to do this, bad!
Potential market?
Fans of military stuff
PvE: every player who has ever needed a healer, and every healer who needed to know somebody needed a heal (so yeah like everyone at some times in a teamplay situation)
PvP: communicate instantly to your team who needs a heal
RP + PvE: IC runs (In-Character & Elite difficulty)
The character raises their right arm, bent elbow, hand above top of their head
Twirls their wrist & hand about in a circular pattern for 720 degrees (2 revolutions) in a counter-clockwise manner (relative to looking down from above)
The elbow stays in place during this movement, making the forearm move in a conical manner
It is understood by the squad that they are to rally around the leader (who is doing the emote).
(optional) I highly recommend that the following local chat phrase is said on local when used (default bind?): "Regroup on me team!"
Potential market?
Fans of military stuff
PvE: when the team gets spread out too much
PvP: when the team gets spread out too much
RP + PvE: IC runs (In-Character & Elite difficulty)
RP: In the fire service this signal would mean to open the valve up, increasing water pressure in the line
What happened did y'all run out of creative ideas?
I already got some more, but I feel like I'm already too much of a precentage of the ideas presented.
I challenge someone else to be creative for a turn. After all, we're going to need more of a selection than what we currently have.
Challenge accepted!
/em fan_snap
Your character pulls out a closed Japanese fan, briskly snaps it open, then pulls it close to their face, so as to conceal part of it.
/em glass_ball
Your character pulls out a fist-sized clear glass ball and does some dextrous manipulation of it over the back of the hand, (think of Bowie's character from Labyrinth).
/em tip_hat
Your character makes a motion like they grabbed the brim of a hat and acts like they are pulling it down slightly, accompanied by a slight bow of the head, (bonus points if they could do it so as it'd work with most brimmed hats).

Character puts the back of his/her hand to forehead, sways a bit, then falls flat on back. Stays that way until movement cancels final pose.
/e collapse
Character simply sways and then falls face first, flat. Stays that way until movement cancels final pose.
/e hammertime
'nuff said. MC Hammer dance. Loops until cancelled by moving.
/e thriller
Again, dance emote. Loops until cancelled by moving.
Umm...renaming the "patience" one....how about /e sterncrossedarms, because it's so stiff and formal a pose? To be honest, it's a copy of the /e stancevillain2 pose from City of Heroes.
Yet another golden emote EVERYONE would buy just to have.
/e facepalm
Pretty sure it's descriptive enough on its own, but....character bends arm at elbow, placing palm on face, lowering head and shaking it for three to five seconds.
Seconded. I do, in fact, believe that I have seen claims that this might be the most-desired emote missing from the game right now...
Haven't read everyone's posts so these ideas might have been posted already but here we go:
* Dramatic Pose Standing standing still, hands on hips, chest puffed out, legs in a shoulder-width style stance, head turned slightly to one side and tilted slightly upwards, if possible should have a breeze effect on any cape worn
Reasons: dramatic poses is to superheroes what butter is to bread

was behind the devious brain-napping of
the Volterrific Dr Cerebellum?
* Dramatic Pose Crouch like you sometimes get from some leaps and used by nighthawk in the nighthawk mission vid, crouching dramatically looking down watching like a gargoyle over the streets or alley below
Market: all those many dark vigilantes and creatures of the night as well as roleplayers
___________________________________

* Dramatic Pose Lurk great for standing in shadows ominously, still, straight-backed and grim.
Good for vigilante types or those who want to stand motionless for a while.

* Dramatic Pose Lurk Sneaky great for standing in shadows ominously, this time hunched over.
Whether it's a The Shadow style vigilante or some skulking vampire getting his Max Shrek on and of course very sueful for RPers this would be great for adding some extra mood.

I've seen lots of people fumble with the battleplan aand computer kneel emotes trying to get a result like this so having a set one would be good.

* Thumbs Up Grim more like Batman in TAS this is a simple thumbs up with perhaps a subtle smile rather than the very enthusiastic double-thumbs up waving around everywhere style existing one.
Market: everyone who wants to use thumbs up but finds existing one far too comical and over-the-top for their hero.

Is it even possible to have emotes that require 2 or more players? Not sure how that would work but I'd love to see high-five, handshake, fist bumps n all that

I would LOVE to have some of the Portal 2 co-op mode emotes, high-fives, hugs, etc.
However StormShade (I recently noticed I was incorrectly was calling him ShadeShooter, which is a community moderator from a different MMO entirely), said this was "not possible with the current game engine" according the the UNTIL Report (it's an old one).
As we struggle to get developer time for even simple content & critical bug fixes, I think something like this is beyond the scope of our budget.
I want this :biggrin: No honestly, it's my favorite emote in all of TF2, and I'd easily pay quadruple the price JUST to have this on my dedicated, celestial healer in this game.
The brilliant white light glow and soft angelic choir sound are the most essential parts, the doves don't matter.
Potential market?
PvE: message, "I'm a dedicated healer! Pay attention to me!"
RP: anything related to a divine plot element or something shocking
PvP: message, "Bow before me mortals!" (response is you're probably going to get targeted, so maybe you do this emote right before you die when you know you're going to die)
Steam players who also play TF2, of which are many in this game.
The character is alert and points his assault rifle at various directions. Does loop.
Potential Market:
RP: Anyone mainly relying on an assault rifle. / Showing off material, looking paranoid or nervous.
Other: Something one could use if AFK, oh, and you bought a premium emote!

Just like it sounds. It bugs me that I have to actually attack someone just to see my weapons.
I read that and I immediately think of this:

/You practice your tai chi to relax
nuff said
it would be great for martial arts based characters, but other basic martial art moves would be good too as well
The Nemesis system needs fixing and here's ideas:
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Henry Ford
Simply folds your arms across your chest and stand with feet shoulder width apart. It is an emote I miss from CoX. Looking ahead not down.

I know there is already a sleep emote but it just seems akward to do that standing up
it can be used for roleplaying or an afk action. It works the same way a sit_chair for duration.
That's exactly the kind of stuff I want to see more of in this thread. And one emote per post so it's nice & easy to reference in the future.
PS: If you disable your signature for each post it'll look more streamlined.
I already gotcha covered on this one:
