If you are like me, you like to have the most screen room you can to maximize efficiancy and fun. Little things like the emote button gets I the way. So heres how to do all the emotes without the button (the button can be turned off in options)

-tip: before you do each of these place two fingers on one side of the screen and wait a second before swiping

-tip: Another way to wave is by shaking your device.

The "Wave Hi" emote (swipe two fingers gently to the right)

The "Celebrate" emote (swipe two fingers gently to the left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/74c84df9.jpg

The "jump" emote (swipe two fingers gently upwards)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/37c524a9.jpg

The "Woah!" emote (swipe to fingers gently downward)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/f895cf5c.jpg

The "Dance" emote (swipe two fingers from top left to bottom right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/26ae86da.jpg

The "yawn" emote (swipe two fingers from top right to bottom left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/5abb4699.jpg

The "Fireworks" emote (swipe two fingers from Bottom right to top left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/5c5be4b9.jpg

The "lol" emote (swipe two fingers from bottom left to top right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/a26969e4.jpg

The "PAR-TAY" emote (gently swipe three fingers left to right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/cd560799.jpg

The "ZOMG" emote (gently swipe three fingers right to left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/26ef4b99.jpg

The "Grrr" emote (gently swipe three fingers from bottom to top)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/dad9280d.jpg

The "*SOB*" emote (gently swipe three fingers from top to bottom)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/12a2858d.jpg

Thats most of em- im missing 8 of them including all the fart part and the backflip pack.

Hope this helps! Please post any coments, critique, spelling errors, etc here. Thanks.

Nice! cept just tweak the arrows so its less fat and maybe do the screenies in lost expedition where the ice contrasts the black arrows, seen better. But besides looks, awesome :D
Oh btw, shake device for a wave =)

Wow! I never knew about this! Thanks a lot con!

I tested diagonal directions.

Hold two fingers down + swipe upper left = Fireworks!

Hold two fingers down + swipe upper right = LOL

Hold two fingers down + swipe lower left = yawn

Hold two fingers down + swipe lower right = dance

Wow... How did you even discover this? Was it an accident? I would have never thought of trying these.

Conradin
03-15-2011, 11:15 PM

I knew them back from Forest Haven days when there wasn't like a timer thing in between chats and emotes. People spammed so much and tried selling "the secret to emote spamming". It caused lag and annoyance so devs eventually stopped it.

Ellyidol
03-15-2011, 11:23 PM
Ah got it after, thanks!

You have to keep hand on joystick yeah? Cause if I don't, it ends up rotating my screen.

giayuan
03-15-2011, 11:24 PM
with two or one finger?

has to be 2. One finger just rotates camera.

Conradin
03-15-2011, 11:36 PM
Ok added 4 more. What about the other ones?

drewcapu
03-15-2011, 11:49 PM
3 finger swipes:
left to right = PAR-TAY!
right to left = ZOMG!
up = GRRRR!
down = *SOB!*

Conradin
03-15-2011, 11:52 PM

This is great, I always mix up the gestures for a lot of them. This list is going to be very useful!

i found out how to use celebrate my self but after could never get it to work so thanks conradin

also what about when the fart emotes come out

There are 4 3-finger diagonal gestures which are still open. After that, all the flick gestures are pretty much covered I think. I know iPads can do 4 or 5 finger gestures, but you can't expect that out of smaller devices. Not sure what else can be used.

The new emotes don't seem to have any obvious gestures associated with them.

None of them seem to be mapped to the previously unmapped 3-finger diagonal gestures.

Does punching your phone work?

Conradin

Anyone found out if the farts have motions?

BeardedBear
04-13-2011, 07:39 AM
Not sure about that Con. Did you try drawing a butt on your screen?

A little secret (maybe?) if doing a fake stomp in PVP when charging your opponent with the two finger swipe up. He/she will think you used stomp and completely missed/wasted it and proceed to charge in.

drewcapu
04-13-2011, 01:02 PM
Cinco mentioned in chat yesterday that they forgot to assign the new emotes to gestures. I'm sure they'll be assigned "later".
I'm thinking Emote Pack 3 will get the remaining 3-finger diagonal gestures. Not sure what gestures are left for Pack 4. I believe iPad can do 4-finger gestures. But I don't think too many other devices can do that ;)

LOL @ fake stomp in pvp. Don't they realize it's a different animation?

I know this is pl, but the 2 finger swipe to the right is wave on sl and 2 finger to the left is party. Kind of laggy, but that may have been because of my high ping.

Is this worthy of a sticky? Or at least more attention? I know this thread is old but I know myself and some others had no idea this was possible. This is pretty good information for ppl to know. It makes my playing experience more enjoyable because I dont have to surf the menus to get my emoticons! :)

I can't believe that I have been playing this game for over a year and on top of that this thread was created 6+ months ago yet I never knew about this! Awesome..... First thing I did after reading was log in and test it...lol... All worked too just a pain for the 3 finger diagonal motions.

Thanks

Good idea with the updated images..lol... But I would wait till they fix current Ui, no? There is a thread that Sam posted saying emotes will be taken out of the sub menu and put back onto main screen along with some other great moves/fixes :p don't know how long that will take tho...

Yup I would wait too. Fingers crossed that the new changes won't make this type of method obsolete so Con's work wouldn't be wasted.

When those new packs came out I talked to Cinco about how there weren't any (obvious) gestures for them.
He confirmed that they forgot to assign gestures to them but didn't make any guarantees that they would do so.
I don't think there has been a patch that has mentioned anything further about new emote gestures.
The main four that are missing are the diagonal three finger swipes which were the ones I checked when they introduced the new swipes.

Swipe+shake seems a bit complicated :D

Conradin

Hey, thank you much for this one. I rarely use emotes because they are a pain to dig up, but I think I will be using them more now. Don't think I will remember them all but now that I know how I will play with them till I find a few a like then use them over and over and over and over and.......

I just found this thread and I was going to note - on android (Galaxy 10.1 tab) at least only the basic, two-finger, horizontal and vertical (no diagonal) gestures work. Too bad.

If you are like me, you like to have the most screen room you can to maximize efficiancy and fun. Little things like the emote button gets I the way. So heres how to do all the emotes without the button (the button can be turned off in options)

-tip: before you do each of these place two fingers on one side of the screen and wait a second before swiping

-tip: Another way to wave is by shaking your device.

The "Wave Hi" emote (swipe two fingers gently to the right)

The "Celebrate" emote (swipe two fingers gently to the left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/74c84df9.jpg

The "jump" emote (swipe two fingers gently upwards)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/37c524a9.jpg

The "Woah!" emote (swipe to fingers gently downward)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/f895cf5c.jpg

The "Dance" emote (swipe two fingers from top left to bottom right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/26ae86da.jpg

The "yawn" emote (swipe two fingers from top right to bottom left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/5abb4699.jpg

The "Fireworks" emote (swipe two fingers from Bottom right to top left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/5c5be4b9.jpg

The "lol" emote (swipe two fingers from bottom left to top right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/a26969e4.jpg

The "PAR-TAY" emote (gently swipe three fingers left to right)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/cd560799.jpg

The "ZOMG" emote (gently swipe three fingers right to left)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/26ef4b99.jpg

The "Grrr" emote (gently swipe three fingers from bottom to top)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/dad9280d.jpg

The "*SOB*" emote (gently swipe three fingers from top to bottom)
http://i898.photobucket.com/albums/ac186/epilist/12a2858d.jpg

Thats most of em- im missing 8 of them including all the fart part and the backflip pack.

Hope this helps! Please post any coments, critique, spelling errors, etc here. Thanks.
So you get emotes for free?
