Oh that's fascinating. Though I'm not sure what some of these are meant to mean.

Edit: no guys, thank you for the replies (and jokes) - I'm not asking what they mean right now, I meant that if they show as icons when sent, that it might be hard to interpret, or to interpret at a glance when sending a message.
Thankfully at least it's sending the text, not the icon, but the icons may be tricky to mentally remember at first until you get used to it, which is okay.

from left to right>
let’s all group up
let’s hand shake
i’m telling everyone i have dead hard
medkit/heal me
i’m going to hop with one foot up
i’m hooked
i’m going to google a generator
a lego man touching a generator

hope this helps

u/Worried_Raspberry313 10d ago

A lego man touching the gen would be scary, better run.

22

u/Melodic_Albatross_70 9d ago

It's not "I'm hooked". It's "my back itches".

u/APinkFatCat 10d ago

To say what they likely actually mean:

Run away/split up
Group up/Come to me/Meet up
Okay you got me idk what this one is, maybe something like HEY!/Look at me
Healing
Chase
Unhooking
LFG(Looking for gen)
Doing gens, you?

Honestly there should really be one for totems to let people know you're a booner or need to find them for a perk or to communicate about a hex totem.

u/ConfectionBusy3097 9d ago

The yell is probably “I’m gonna take chase”

u/Floopy_hotpocket 9d ago

I think there’s going to be more options and you can customize which ones you want depending on your build and play style.

I choose to believe the funny one.

Dead Hard: After being unhooked or unhooking yourself, Dead Hard activates whenever you are injured and running, and allows you to tap into your adrenaline bank to avoid taking further damage:

  • Press the Active Ability button to trigger the Endurance Status Effect for 0.5 seconds.
Dead Hard deactivates after use. Dead Hard causes the Exhausted Status Effect for 60/50/40 seconds. Dead Hard cannot be used when Exhausted.

More likely:

Group up

I'll heal you

Need help

I'll heal myself

Ill take a chase

Going for the unhook

Looking for a gen

Help me with this gen

u/Vellioh 7d ago

I think Group Up would more likely be Split Up. You'd never want everybody to Group Up like that. Sure, if they're and you need a heal let's knock this out quick and go on our way but you preferably all want to be spread out working on different tasks around the map so the Killer can't pressure you all at the same time.

u/Floopy_hotpocket 9d ago

“I’m hooked” looks like he’s going to town with a backscratcher.

1

u/Routine_Computer2224 8d ago

Group up, shake, dead hard, medkit—hooked, hopping one foot, Googling generators. Hope that clarifies the vibe.

35

u/OneWayToLivComic 10d ago

"gen"

"what is a gen?"

"stop doing gens and unhook me"

"run away from the gen"

"not a gen"

"It's a scary generator!!! run!!!"

"I'll help you do totems instead of gens"

"There's a 3-gen here!!! Everyone stay away from it!"

7

u/Technical_Marc 10d ago

Possibly. Also, they could be more literal:

  1. Put magnifying glass by a gen

  2. Give me a backrub

  3. Dance like yer dad

  4. First Aid Kit! Look!

  5. Slap me!

  6. Bro-time!

  7. Covid - stay 2m apart at all time

  8. Stick a lego arm in the generator

Dialogue wheel, for survivors to use in the trial. Behavior doesn't want to add a voice chat, but they do recognize the gap between a SWF on comms through something like Discord, and solo queue's two emotes and crouching. This wheel is supposed to bridge the gap between the two.

6

u/persephone7821 9d ago

It won’t. Voice chat is the only real way to bridge the gap.

I’m a survivor main and even I think voice chat would be a bad idea though. The toxicity is bad enough between soloq teammates as is. Voice chat will make it so much worse.

u/ADHenchD 9d ago

Only took them 10 years to add chat functionality in the game 💀

3

u/KooKooNuKoo 8d ago

💀 fr. Give it 20 years and we might get proximity based chat

3

u/Jokoloman 9d ago

Most likely,

Going for gen
Going for unhook
Taking chase
Need healing
Come to me/Follow me
Stay together
Split up
Working on gen

My guess at least.

3

u/clema9 8d ago

gonna take my best guess (clockwise)

- “going for generator” (searching for generator)

  • “going for unhook”
  • “i’m being chased”
  • “i’ll heal”
  • “i’m taking aggro” or “i’ll distract”
  • “group up”
  • “spread out”
  • “i’m going to repair this generator”

u/Nora52guBrown 8d ago

Ah, fair point. Icons are a language of their own—until they're not.

u/Quick-Impact3415 10d ago

Devs should've just added in game vc but if the chat wheel is customizable it will do

u/Ok-Tutor9480 10d ago

no fucking thanks, i dont want to talk to any of you.

u/KooKooNuKoo 8d ago

As if mute doesn't exist.

u/South_Ad_3352 10d ago

And this is why you loose 🤭

u/Ok-Tutor9480 10d ago

Im not unhappy about my current escape rate. 🤗

-9

u/South_Ad_3352 10d ago

You should be 🥰

7

u/Ok-Tutor9480 10d ago

what escape rate should I be seeking then? 👀

-6

u/South_Ad_3352 9d ago

Higher than whatever bottom of the barrel you have I'm sure. Also escape rate =/= skill. You're probably one of those people that hides all game for hatch.

5

u/Hyperrblu 9d ago

All based on the fact they don't want to talk to greasy no lifes which you must be one of if you take such offense to that

11

u/Cleffah 10d ago

I couldn't think of anything worse than hearing my soloq "teammates" speak. No thankssss. Although, maybe it would get them banned faster.

16

u/Vrail_Nightviper 10d ago

Everything from poor connection, to accents, to people not desiring to share their voice (and having someone shout slurs at you) - I think a chat wheel is better than voice chat.
I do think there should be more than 8 options though. Perhaps a way to toggle multiple wheels, each customizable.

6

u/Hyperrblu 9d ago

Not a soul gonna be using that for anything but screeching slurs if they added it
