I'm asking this as a Joke about Gestures so...

Just chill out, this isn't a serious post, this is just a chill discussion regarding something that BHVR won't add for toxicity reasons that has been addressed before: Gestures, Emotes, and Animations.

I just want to see if you guys have any fun or cool ideas for animations and gestures. I know that these won't be added into the game for obvious reasons, as such I don't need to hear about any reasons or proof as to why it won't be added, I already understand. This is for the sake of hearing ideas that people might have and to have a laugh together.

So, I was thinking something cool would be idle walking animations for the Killers. Something personalized towards the Killers that they'd do just while walking around when not interacting with anything. Essentially like the way Freddy occasionally flourishes his glove while walking, but it would be something that could be seen by everyone. Like the Huntress could occasionally twirl her hatchet in her off-hand, Legion could study their blades or even do knife tricks similar to the Clown, the Clown could do knife tricks occasionally or even doublecheck his Afterpiece Tonics. Simple little things like that could add so much color and life to all of the Killers.

Mind you, that was a safer idea, now for a more dangerous and complicated idea (which would end up becoming a toxic issue, hence why this is more or less a joke). The idea I was thinking about was character specific Gestures or Emotes. Basically a gesture that each character could do that is specific to their character. Ace could do finger guns (Typical Ace...), Jane could form a confident yet cocky stance, Dwight could... I dunno... Be scared like every Baby Dweeght? The Killers could also have a set of character specific Gestures. Doc could spark his off-hand, Plague could wave her incense around while doing a prayer, Pig could check her reverse bear traps to make sure they're functional. Things like that would make each character so much more lively and give all the characters some sense of in-game dimension and diversity.

On a more serious note, and I am open to discuss this civilly because this could be interesting on a general note, if BHVR is concerned about character specific Gestures increasing toxicity in-game and in the community, a simple fix would be to lock the action and make it available only for Custom Matches (Kill Your Friends). It would be, more-or-less, just a dumb thing that you and your friends could do in your own matches to make it more fun. Last I checked, BHVR aims to make the game more fun in a reasonable and rational way, so if this is something the community wants but it can't be done for reasons involving toxicity, make it a more personal thing for Custom Matches so it doesn't influence toxicity in Public Matches. Again, I'm open to discuss this and hear other people's take on that.

Well either way, I'd love to hear everyone's ideas and concepts for Animations and Gestures that might be fun, cool, or just downright hilarious to see. Happy Hunting, see you all in the Fog!
