So... I have not spent any real money on emotes. I bought 2 with the free silver, and decided I couldn't justify spending real money on these things.

The problem is how they work. You can only use 1 new emote at a time!

I LOVE the new emotes. I'd definitely be willing to spend actual money to get some of the other emotes if I could use more than 1 at a time... Why can't we just have a controller scheme where holding down the left D-pad brings up an emote wheel where we chose one of many possible options! As it is now, I can only use one at a time, and that my friends, is super lame.

At the very least, let us map all 4 directions to our own liking.

Also, I'm not even spending real money per se, a friend gifted me a Gamestop giftcard for setting up a Halo 4 LAN party for his baby shower (yes, it was awesome).

Ok... Rant over.

Using the perfect emote at the perfect moment is now happenstance.

I would prefer to just map all four directions to whatever you wanted. I still think that long presses on the D-pad should be reserved for ammo synths and 3 of coins. There is no reason to have to go to your menu, tab over, scroll to the synth and hold X. and that is assuming that the timer is up. If it's not, you have to come back and do it again. It should be mapped to a long press, and if it's too soon, it should flash the timer briefly in the corner of the screen.

"Bluerunner Congratulates" works for every situation as long as you know when I'm doing it sarcastically.

I've always thought it would be great to be able to map things to the D-pad for use in the Ghost menu. Bring up Ghost, press left on D-pad for heavy synth, right for special, up for 3 of coins, down for . . . Ether seeds/Wax Idol/Blue Polyphage?

You could pick which synth type to use in the inventory. This would free up the D pad for more emotes.

I think that defeats their purpose of paying for DLC.

Yeah I have to agree. In a free to play game it makes sense to make alternate ways to earn premium currency, but for this instance not so much. It sounds like they plan to hand out a small amount of Silver from time to time though.

That would work, too, as synths are really the only thing you need to use in the middle of combat.

But that's why I was suggesting mapping it to the d-pad, but only when the Ghost menu is up. The rest of the time would just be for emotes as usual.

I do like idea of a long press on the d-pad for consumables. Normal press for emotes, hold for three seconds to use a consumable.

What makes you think that?

They mentioned in the announcement post (or maybe it was the BWU?) that they would give out more Silver later this year. I'm obviously making an assumption, but I would imagine from time to time (maybe even just once a year) they will give a small amount of Silver to everyone that's actively playing.

Oh, I remember that now.

Part of why I use the shrug.

Get a nice kill? Shrug.
I get more mouldering shards? Shrug.
Someone dies to the wall of plungers? Shrug.

The only other one I like is the Morpheus taunt, 'cause if you line up right you tickle the other guardian's chin.

Pull up ghost, double tap X and a synth is used for your currently equipped weapon, assuming you have any in your inventory.

It keeps the awareness going, while still requiring you to take cover and coordinate with your fireteam.

It got me slapped by Amanda Holliday once.

It's very short, but I made sure to explain how DE knocked two birds out with one stone. That said, I have always been a fan of the "Hold Reload to use Synth", which would probably be easier to implement than a Radial Wheel.

All you really need is to have 4 equitable emote slots, one for each directions, as opposed to the one now.

Yup. Definitely said that (and showed it) in the video.
And the thing is that apparently the D-Pad was re-mappable since before the Alpha, but Bungie hasn't given players this freedom yet for whatever reason...
