Players of Diablo 4 are searching for answers to address the uncomfortable silence that follows when another player emotes “thank you,” as the game currently lacks a corresponding “you’re welcome” emote. A Reddit post on August 30 highlighted this peculiar situation, pointing out that it feels strange to have a way to express gratitude without a way to acknowledge it in return.
The author of the post suggests that the closest alternative is to use the “yes” or “no” emotes, but these responses don’t quite fit the context of expressing gratitude. They recount their own experiences of mistakenly using these emotes, which only made the situation more awkward.
Reddit users took the opportunity to suggest humorous alternatives, such as an emote saying “Live, love, laugh.” One response playfully mocked the inability to sprint with a mount while in town. Another player mentioned that simply responding with a “thanks” emote can work, drawing parallels to real-life situations where a simple “thank you” suffices as a response.
Some players shared their experiences of replying with “Happy birthday” when someone wished them the same on their birthday. These anecdotes highlight the creative ways players try to fill the void left by the absence of a proper “you’re welcome” emote.
In other games like Apex Legends or Final Fantasy 14, certain movements serve as a universal way to acknowledge other players. For example, teabagging in Apex Legends can initiate a playful interaction between players. One commenter even mentioned running around in tight circles as a versatile way to acknowledge someone in Diablo 4.
Despite the ongoing issues with Diablo 4’s first season, it’s refreshing to see that the community can still find humor in these small quirks and not solely focus on complaints.
