Group emotes

While this is probably unlikely to be seriously considered, I think I'd like to see multi-character emotes. Use the emote on someone else, then they use it on you, the emote starts. Or use it on a bridge officer. I'm just not sure what kind of things would survive the extreme height differences possible in game.

Any ideas?

    We had something like that in The Matrix Online. I don't think it would be difficult to do here as MXO was over ten years ago and they did it.​​

    I'm not asking if it's possible. I just want ideas.

    How about... CONGA LINE!

    I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

    Maybe we can have BOff emotes. They affect only our BOffs that we have on ground maps. I can see this being used as a griefing tool if it works on players.

    We have one of those. Its called the Subspace Party Amplifier and is the single most hated item in this game. Not by me specifically, but by a very large amount of people. So many that an item had to be implemented to neutralize the discoball.

    I don't see Cryptic ever trying another group emote thing after this majestic failure.

    The way I'd see a new group emote work would be like the group taunts in Team Fortress 2. Voluntary. You can choose to join the conga line or give a high five being offered or you can choose not to.
    The Disco Ball was more of a forced emote.

    This I would see working. I do not see how Cryptic would see any profit from this, thus a return of developer investment.

    Well... the group taunts in TF2 are only available in the Mann Co. Store, so they actually ahve to be bought with cashy money. Someone without the taunt can still participate, just not start it.

    2 player dance emotes from the "Hustle" to the "Funky Chicken"

    "Bang Bang!" One player shoots with his hands as the other simulates getting shot.

    "Blow Kiss" one player blows a kiss the other pretends to catch it.

    "Chocking on My Chicken Sandwich" One player makes choking animation and the other pats his or her back.

    That's all I got from the top of my head right now.​​
