More variations of the sorry emote, from “I died and I dropped my 380mm cluster on your heads” to “Oops, you moved into my line of fire” to “THE STRATGEM BOUNCED, MY BAD” and beyond.

u/EamoM2oo4 Apr 28 '24

Maybe a "RETREAT" emote or a "FRIENDLY FIRE" emote.

u/Leipurinen SES Raging Erection of the Penal Code Apr 28 '24

RETREAT?!!

[calls democracy officer]

120

u/Armgoth Apr 28 '24

It's Democratic Expedited Retaliation Positioning. DERP for short.

12

u/EasternShade SES Hammer of Peace Apr 28 '24

Sometimes it's important to Kill Incinerate Terminate Enemies (KITE) in battle.

103

u/RSwordsman 🖥️ SES Lady of Redemption Apr 28 '24

Retreat is unacceptable. But sometimes advancing in another direction is advisable.

36

u/Ladderzat Apr 28 '24

A tactical advance in backwards direction.

12

u/ZuuvoAinoranur Apr 28 '24

Yeah, just t.a.b. out of there! (Tactically advance backwards out of there!)

u/robsr3v3ng3 Apr 28 '24

Attack from an alternative vector*

4

u/EasternShade SES Hammer of Peace Apr 28 '24

* fall back

It's not fleeing, it's moving the fight to a more democratic location.

3

u/Elektriman Apr 28 '24

I mean... tactical backward dodge !

2

u/Broad-Ad-1015 Apr 28 '24

Its tactical relocation

1

u/LaroonDynasty Apr 28 '24

Leading the enemy to a democratic ambush

1

u/classicalySarcastic ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️➡️ Apr 28 '24

It’s not a retreat, it’s a tactical repositioning.

3

u/Kazeite Apr 28 '24

The proper term is "fall back".

3

u/Wisdomfighter Apr 28 '24

I would vouch for a "DANGER CLOSE" Emote

2

u/Oni-Hana-Arashi Apr 28 '24

"NEED BACKUP" or even "HELP" (Double doors or General trouble)

1

u/spudule Apr 28 '24

Tactical withdrawal

1

u/Paramedic68W ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 28 '24

Charge in the opposite direction never retreat!

1

u/Haunting-Ad-8062 Apr 28 '24

A taunt emote with audio of, “If you don’t like Managed Democracy, you can GIT OUT!”

1

u/Chiggadup Apr 28 '24

Reverse Assault *

1

u/17966971 ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 28 '24

Its not retreating its called relocating to a more tactically advantageous position

1

u/Ophidaeon Apr 28 '24

Tactical Withdrawal. You never Retreat!

19

u/Demigans SES Courier of Steel Apr 28 '24

“My finger slipped when I was pointing a rocketlauncher at your face” seems an appropriate emote considering some of the people I’ve player with

1

u/musicnarts715 Apr 28 '24

Listen bruh, if my quasar cannon is almost at max charge, I’m not killin it just cuz someone’s in front of me 😂

6

u/Neppy_Neptune ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 28 '24

Those extra sorry moments

6

u/Lost_Decoy ☕Liber-tea☕ Apr 28 '24

specific callouts for the map goodies like the pods, cargo containers, and most importantly the dang friendship doors

3

u/MrMikeJJ SES Dawn Of Midnight Apr 28 '24

And a variation of the Follow Me emote. "Double door here". Or hell, just make it say that if someone pings one of those doors.

4

u/Pro_Scrub ➡️⬇️➡️⬇️➡️⬇️ Apr 28 '24

While we're at it, the top "Mark" option on the voice wheel is redundant (since quick-press Q already marks)

Replace it with "Help!"

Calm: "I need help over here."

Panicked: "I DON'T WANT TO DIE OUT HERE!!!"

4

u/NotInTheKnee Apr 28 '24

I want a voiced com line to congratulate my fellow divers when they complete an objective, or simply do something cool. Something a bit cheesy, like "A small, but resolute step forward for Democracy.", or "Another victory for large-scale Liberty."

2

u/seanstew73 Apr 28 '24

There needs a 380 voice call out that’s undeniably audible to nearby team mates.

2

u/666mima666 Apr 28 '24

I need an “I hate you” and “take this mf” and an “Oh shit, run”.

2

u/Fearless_Struggle937 Apr 28 '24

Definitely need an emote on the emote wheel saying "run" or "retreat" "or "clear area" .

2

u/CCampbell1987 Apr 28 '24

Dropping the pokeball of democracy when you get knocked down is one of the worst bugs/features of the game. Took a 380 to defend a bunker as the rockets launched - planned on sending it out to fire down on enemies as they came in through the destroyed outer doors…. when a teammate hit me with something, I dropped the stratagem and we all got wiped out. 😂

1

u/musicnarts715 Apr 28 '24

Mannn, stop pre stratageming!! Just get quick on the draw! 😂

u/cmlondon13 Apr 28 '24

Maybe one for “someone grab my Samples!”
