I am going to disagree, it's not just a matter of opinion but a matter of functionality. Many of our alliance members are having difficulty distinguishing the difference between the various emoticons. In any case, seems to me there were other issues that should have been addressed (like pre release testing and old game bugs, mail, etc.); obviously priorities differ between players and the Dev team. :(

Not thrilled with the new emotes. I know you all trying to cut back on emote spamming. I guess if we have to live with these you will correct that, but you could always make the penalties stiffer for those that spam. That might be a deterrent. I know I don't allow it in my Alliance Chat. Spamming is a sore spot for me.

If the link above doesn't work, try this to install extension:
Refresh Chrome, and then use this page for what to type:
Type what is on far left without quotes to get the emoticon you want.

Hello all,
Thanks for your feedback on the new emotes. While I think they are immensely clever and add so much more flavor to chat, I can understand if you don't agree. That said...
First, the old generic yahoo emoticons are not going to return. I'm sorry.
In the meantime (as what I hope will be a workable compromise) we are looking to add the option to the new upcoming chat system overhaul to uncheck a "use racial emotes" option. So that if you do not like them, you can turn them off and only see the traditional text emotes like :) for example.
I hope this helps, but again, this is something that will come with the new chat system and is understandably lower priority than some other things going into that chat upgrade.
Until that time, I'm sorry if you don't like the new emotes. This is certainly a touchy subject and is a matter of personal opinion and taste that it would be impossible for us all to agree upon.
Thanks for your patience.
Luna

No we aren't happy, I use FF and I'm extremely annoyed, however, given the level of bugs this update has created, the emoticon fix is low on the list. :( (It really would be nice if updates were extensively tested before release)

Make sure you are using Google Chrome though! |
I like this idea however. Makes both camps happy. For those that do not like the old emotes you won't see them and only see the new ones. For those of us that enjoy and love the expression we get out of the old ones we can STILL enjoy them. We are all happy that way!

i must say this is a amazing idea :P it's quite cool this and i would never think in something this great.
there is just one problem: they are terrible... specialy orc ones...
i don't want them to be removed as it's a wonderfull idea. instead i want them to be edited (specialy orc's ones (humans are, i belive, the better ones) ) and make something a bit soffter so that you can recognize what kind of smile is it whithout having to pass the rat on it to see wich is it...
maybe something green.... like this one:

I like the idea behind these emoticons and I think it works. I like these emoticons better. Many of the people who want the yahoo emotes are the ones that overuse them and make GC look more and more like a teenage chat room of an eyesore. As an artist myself I have to recognize the creativity that Cerberus put into these.
