Taunts?

[Destroyer_Zeka]

anyone who has played TF2 knows that that game has a wide variety of different taunts for each class. All classes can do the Conga, while only Sniper can perform Skewer. How do you think a taunt mechanic would work in Warships, just as a little extra "sting" to being sunk by someone. Upon death, the ship that received the kill ribbon will have, say, a 10 second window to press a key or combo, and then upon activation, the ship in question performs a quick taunt, with something like an explosion of confetti celebrating a kill or something, but that idea probably needs some elaborating. Anyways, what do you think? Is this a somewhat decent idea, a good idea that needs some further development, or am I just being stupid here?

 

PS: I know what the search function is. The closest I got to this sort of thing was a Karma complaint thread

seriously, the player base isn't toxic enough now? not just no, but HELL NO!

Taunts are fun in an environment where you respawn so you can exact revenge. This is not the right game for them.

[RipNuN2]

What value does this add to the game?

[injunmick]

I've played TF2 also and the taunts are fun.

 

But IMO, from what I've seen in this game, too many people would get their little feelings hurt.

You're just being stupid. Nobody likes being sunk, even though most ships in a PvP battle will be sunk. Try some good sportsmanship instead of, "na,na, you're sunk".

[nina_blain_73]

yes lets shoot for toxicity of 11 cause 1- 10 is just not enough

[Battleship_Dunkerque]

Heh, at first I thought of an actual MMO 'taunt' - something that makes the enemy more likely to attack you, usually used by 'tanking' builds.  Of course, BBs here aren't tanky enough to do that successfully.

 

Then I read the thread.  No, just no.

[Destroyer_Zeka]

Fair enough. Taunts worked well in TF2 but based of your feedback and a little perspective I'm left feeling the same way. Not really the right game for them

I don't see how it would be an issue considering WG already let's us have access to chat with the enemy team and farm worse things can be said than anything WG would come out with.

 How about when I clear an island with my Khabarovsk and face a Kagero 4 km away from me I press a key which activates a loud and heavy voice message saying "I'm gonna cut you like a pig..." that echoes around the map and 20 seconds later when the Kagerou is sinking my ship does a backflip over the poor japanese loli corpse?

 I need this in my life.

Battleships already have 'taunts'. It's called being slow, sluggish, and really easy to hit at any range.

[LittleWhiteMouse]

I'd only support this if there was also a comeback button.  If the proper comeback was used, the taunter should suffer a penalty.

[GeneralVeers]

I want a Poi related taunt.

[The_Necromancer_015]

They should give you up to 140 characters that you can assign to F12 so you can have your very own custom taunt/msg 

[anonym_OlK73e329bMY]

I'd probably cry if someone did that to me..

[PolarWolf32]

I think the most insulting thing I've seen thus far is seeing people torch low health enemies in open water and turn off to engage someone else as their victim has to watch their last slivers of health fade away. Bonus points for more arsonist/liquidator being involved.
