Bungie Plz Addition: Expanded Emote Wheel

[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

This change has been added to Bungie Plz.
Going forward, all posts suggesting this change will be removed and redirected to this Megathread.

Submitted by: /u/MirakleB

Date approved: 07-19-2022

Modmail Discussion:

/u/MirakleB: "While an emote wheel with more than four slots would be nice, it isn't possible to add this feature due to memory limitations as stated by devs at Bungie, and the comments rarely fail to mention this on posts about this topic. Despite that, posts about it keep cropping up every couple of months with very little to add to the discussion."

Given these reasons and the examples below (as well as 9 other times this has reached 300+ upvotes), the mod team feels that community consensus on this issue has been achieved and a solution is now up to Bungie to develop.

Examples given: 1, 2, 3

Criteria Used:

"...3 examples (with links) of recent submissions (with at least 1 being over 30 days old), that have been well received (hundreds of upvotes on the front page of the sub - ex. 300+ upvotes)."

I would prefer more utility emotes. Ones that are like..

Going to A

Going to C

Good game

Nice play

Etc.

Like the ones they have in For Honor. Not necessarily emotes but quick communication that emotes somewhat act as in D2. I think complication is that emotes that you want shared with your own team (Going to A control point) is not technically possible without some major rework.

This could be incorporated into a single system. People say emote wheel, but really, it could be made as an action wheel. It could be expanded to support consumables, quick actions like you say, equipping items, and more.
