Barf Emote

[Tony Amore]

Hey, if the Contaminated can do it, and the random guy in Pocket D on the red side next to the ramp can do it, why can't we? 😄

[Zolgar]

On one hand yes.

On the other hand, ugh, the trolling that would come from that? 

[Tony Amore]

From a roleplaying standpoint, what if some type of in-game activity makes your character queasy? Problem solved!

[Defeat All Snakes]

It's even a side-effect of the Poison powerset's resurrection ability, so you know it's doable!  Our VG's had to rely on getting killed and brought back so far, if they wanted a good purge.

 

The comment about trolling is of course sobering, but honestly, there's enough troll outlets already that I don't think this one will make a dent.  If someone's angling to ruin your experience, they'll do it regardless of the tools at their disposal.

An upset stomach is belly fat crying 🙂 I'm up for having the EMOTE_VOMIT_TWO animation as an emote.
Would also be awesome with a Change to Vomit proc.

Being able to walk up to someone and vomit on them is on a level above (or maybe below?) any other emote we have access to...

Push ups...

 

 

...just sayin'.

[Zolgar]

Pushup is really only inappropriate with a willing partner.

I might be missing something, but so long as we have a chat functionality being able to use a vomit emote seems pretty far from the highest levels of trolling / bad behavior available to the players. Besides, do people actually care if someone walks up to them in-game to vomit / slap / use some other emote? I think the potential fun factor clearly outweighs any negatives from implementing barfing as an emote.

I mean, if it's already an animation, we should be able to do it ourselves on command, right? 🙂

Yes people will care if random players start walking up to vomit on them. Obviously.

Chat can be ignored, emotes can't.

 

The vomit emote would come with a very unpleasant sound effect, which would rank it among the worst emotes to be trolled with.

 

And, it would be more popular to troll with than slap or whistle because, well, childishness.

This thread reminds me of the epic arguments over on the STO forums about Disco Balls and snowballs.
