I think it would be a great to increase the immersion and usage of emotes if we've made UI improvements of Emotes by and not limited to:
Ideas:
• Implementing a search engine for finding specific emotes (instead of endless browsing for lack of memory, etc..)
• Have a category for emotes based on purpose: Ex: Synced Emotes, General Emotes, Prop emotes, etc..
• Maybe have an example image of what the emote would look like (a big maybe, maybe? lol)
• A better UI that helps bind emotes to appropriate key binds
Reason:
Using emotes is optional but can be a bit of hassle when you have to remember, type in or scroll though thousands of emotes to find a specific one you're looking for to further express yourself in a RP moment--all of which whittles away precious time that you don't have, especially for new players who I believe wouldn't mind a bit less effort in an attempt to express their character. Emoting is a bit more work than it needs to be imho in a ever moving RP scene. Simply choosing to note use the emotes is a solution but not one that benefits the RP'ing world.
I remember being in a situation where I wanted to use an emote that I haven't have binded (as the others were taken up) but couldn't remember the exact name. I had to F1 - emotes - search through a bunch of worded emotes from top to bottom until I found something resembling the emote I'm looking for. By the time I find the emote, the RP moment had passed and expression wouldn't have made sense.
I don't think what I'm asking is a hard ask but I'm also not a developer. I just believe that a seamless UI integration and search box would go a long way in quality and connivence that would benefit everyone.
