[IDEA] Equippable Taunts

(PlatinumCLAW) #1

How about some actual animation taunts , equipped via items menu, maybe multiple taunts which can be multiple equipped like 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc. I would love taunting after some kills, and maybe it may give some experience points, but you cant cancel the taunt so you would be vulnerable. It would be great to see tee-bag, slash the neck, etc taunts in the game. tee bag can be done already, but still taunts is a better idea.

i think:

So we TF2 now ?

(PlatinumCLAW) #6

@Elvisz Yes something like that. And its not about time, its about irritating people you killed, in the death cam (which should follow you). Just 4 fun, no use of the feature, but almost all games got it.

This game isnt TF2 and I hope it wont be.

I dont play TF2 because of this stupid thing…

If taunts stop you from playing TF2 you probably need to re-evaluate some things.

Well I mean as long as we stay away from ridiculously looking stuff.

If you want to do something different to the standard teabag, go stand on a nader and you can leave a nice painting on the walls.

But we already have quickchat taunts, and a lot of them. Plus, why would you waste time on physically taunting when you could be securing the objective and when killed enemies leave the post-death cam after a few seconds? You’d basically just be dancing in place while your team yells at you.

This kind of thing worked in TF2 because it’s a different type of game, and while few people regularly used it when they weren’t screwing around, they could afford it because TF2 isn’t as fast or time-dependent. In Dirty Bomb, you can flip a game around in 7 seconds or less(see last-second defuses or overtime deliveries), but in TF2 the progression was always gradual and the result of matches could be easily predicted after about the halfway point.

Maybe just the upper body? To leave these legs running and jumping?

(PlatinumCLAW) #14

@TheStrangerous That looks like a cool idea.

I’m on the fence for taunts. Bushwhacker’s taunts can be pretty long as they are right now, and I feel like taunts that cause you to be immobile while you use them might be a little harmful to the speed of the game. I do like @TheStrangerous idea though. You could add a taunt that you could use while still walking or running, like maybe a flexing taunt or a “come at me” taunt; something along the lines of that.

(Nibbles02) #16

Even then I don’t think most people will find the time to taunt, since most people who do taunt do so after killing several players or getting downed and while waiting to get picked up by a medic or finished off.

I don’t know about equipping and probably obtaining these taunts, but if I can Flip off the fat Rhino who spawn killed me 6 times and had to Tbag my corpse all but gently. I would be quite pleased. x]

maybe a small animation with the current taunts could be cool maybe a wave when saying hi or bie a small sign when saying go or follow me ect… and i guess we need a lauthing taunt

(iPod_) #19

I mean sure it can work if the taunts are not “over the top”.

(PlatinumCLAW) #20

LOL doom taunts are nice XD. But upper body taunts are better suited for this game i think.
