 Topic: New Emoticons

Dear devs, I am sure you anticipated some conservative mumbling against replacing the yahoo emoticons with the new ones. I am not conservative. I love new ideas. But these new emoticons you created plainly suck. They are too dark. You have to look closer to the screen to actually see what they are doing. I am in my AC and people cringe from typing Emoticons. And when they do automatically, they go 'oh sh*t' Please fix this and get a normal set of emoticons.

If you can't do emoticons, please let us use the typing that created them in the first place...

I am very very VERY angry about the emoticons. They were what brought
personality and fun into our chats. We were able to express our feelings
much better with the old ones. Now they have been replaced with the
UGLIEST emotes I have ever seen. They are BLOODY AWFUL!!!!! They do not
express what we are trying to convey. Chatting is a HUGE part of this
game and you have effectively destroyed a large part of the fun of this
game now.
I also wanted to add. When all you can do is watch stuff build for long
period of time.. all you have left is chatting and this has managed to
destroy the joy and fun out of chatting with our alliance mates and the
fun we had in AC. I am SO VERY angry about this!

Hello Devs,
I dont doubt of the amazing artwork of the Gm about the emotions, tho i feel his art isnt appliable to this kind of game. Everyone misses the old ones, not to meantions this ones are far for beeing funny. We wished Roftl , coffee and so much others to come back! U know Illy is a game of pacience and most people spend the time chatting and chilling around so they dont get themselves into a boring state. A wargame without war and a social game without funny....lol I know there are a lot of good changes but, and i apologize saying this to the GM responsable, but this wasnt sucessful. everyone is claiming to want the old emos back and i think you guys should allow it! We are the ones socializing there daily.
Kindest Regards, Batrilicious

I'm coming down on the pro-new-emotes side. I also thought the EVE luxury monocle was an amusing idea. What can I say? I am a dev whore. 
Seriously, they are bit small, but other than that they are funny, and most importantly, unique to Illy now. Race and gender specificity is another plus. Having fewer of them means less focus on the emote spam fests which have been known to break out now and again, and makes the chat no less serious by their lack, if that is what anyone is worried about, judging from what's going on in there right now as I type. 
As far as "express[ing] our feelings" I think we can do that with words quite nicely.

Where is the coffee emoticon?
Games are supposed to be fun for heaven's sake, why not keep the basic and very common ones? We play this game, not the devs, and most people didn't spam or irritate GC with them. Some were a bit over the top, like the animated ones, but people liked the one's like the smiles and usual wave and cry ones.
While female orcs have the ridiculous hairstyle given to them in the new images, I won't even be emoting a smile. This is a great game, but not giving people choices is not the way to go. I don't pay my prestige have features that are accepted throughout the gaming world completely disabled because a few people choose to occasionally spam emotes. |
