Personally I'm sick of "Point, Beckon, and Tbag" being our only options so I wanted to see what you guys thought on the matter.

Please explain why you feel the way you do after voting, it helps a lot to know why people feel the way they do

    I'll be the first vote: I want them because I want an emote to display "I failed" because presently every emote we have is viewed as a taunt

    I also just don't want to have to point and beckon for everything. It just confuses things and lets be honest here, if the devs really wanted to limit communication SWF wouldn't exist.

    I'd like some stuff like pointing downwards for someone to "stay here"

    We need more emotes/gestures that help with communication.

    Things like a “stay here” or “shhh” or “stop” would be nice.

    Definitely nothing silly like dancing or taunting tho.

    I'd like it, but as someone who's played Dark Souls I know for a fact that one wouldn't be used as intended. It'd still be useful for those of us who did use it correctly though

    https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/comment/736682#Comment_736682

    Exactly. I'd really like a "stop" one to just get people to hold still for half a second

    Dancing would definitely feel out of place and we already have taunts so we certainly don't need more.

    I kinda think that new emotes would just be used for taunting or wouldn't be used in practise at all. But if they are used for what they were made for, everythings fine, but I don't think so :/

    looking at Identity V, even the killers have emotes there!

    why isnt that a thing for DbD? :(


    i wouldnt even care if you'd have to obtain them through the store (as long as there are shard emotes).

    No dances. No laughing. No memes. No taunts.

    Would be great to have some type of new emotes like a [Bad Word] You or a [Bad Word] Off emote.

    I don't mind the idea of new emotes, but there's a very thin line between things that will be regularly used to anger people and things that are useful without giving too much info. I'm satisfied with the current set but I'm also open to new ones

    Gestures would be more fitting term for them probably. I don't want any new ones really but if anything, there should be Fortnite dances to tease the killer at exit gates (jk).

    I want all the D-pad button to do something

    2 more emotes just for helping


    Quiet emote and Hide emotes are all I need

    I only want "functional" emotes/gestures.

    Hand gestures that would function as things like "get down", "stop", or "quiet" would be fine.

    I absolutley do not want any kind of taunts or silly joke garbage.
