Title: Taunts
Post by: The Mann on August 04, 2015, 05:15:20 am
So, another possible bad idea but regardless, I shall share.

Many moons ago, I encountered a free game known as "Loadout".
 
When you win a match, your character is displayed but there is a neat feature, You can press one of many buttons to make your self taunt the losers.

My suggestion.

So, we have the typical screen where everyone poses. I have an idea that if the captain selects a taunt from the character selection, his crew will perform the taunt in the victory screen.

Example:

You win a game.

The winning screen shows up and you are

Conga Dancing around the deck!


This is a bad idea.

What are your thoughts?

I like this idea

Maybe it could tie into the ship theme. ex - Party theme shows the crew with a table on deck eating the birthday cake

On a barely related note this gave me the idea that when one of the winning ships is dead at game end rather than being left out they should be shown hanging from parachutes

You're doing it wrong. You put on the glasses before you finish the pun.

I don't think that the captain should dictate the poses of the entire crew, rather each crew member should be able to select a pose/gesture that they would like to perform in the victory screen. I would be willing to shell out a few dollars for an extra funky dance move in the victory screen.

And this is brilliant.

As long as it's the crew celebrating and having a good time as opposed to openly mocking the losers, I'm totally down.

That's not a taunt though. That's celebrating.

This was the origin of the idea, players in Loadout can buy taunts and play their own taunts on the winner screen. Their own individual taunts is also a good idea  :D

well I already asked muse for selectable winning poses.

apparently the assets and animations already exist, they just need to put in the work to implement (code words for we don't got time for it).


as for mid game taunts, that would only work with games that has a cast of characters that are distinctive (like mobas)

I did suggest to muse for a pilot tool megaphone that lets you voice chat the whole match. As a pilot tool you can only use it on the helm. they were iffy on it.


and likely on taunts in general because trash talking is bad in this imaginary wonderland guns apparently lives in

If everyone agreed on a simple fix for the pyra then Muse would implement it. There are many conflicting opinions and not enough impetus for change because the pyra still works.

...because the pyra Gat/Mortar still works.

Post by: BlackenedPies on August 04, 2015, 07:54:17 pm
Pyra is still a common ship and wins in pub matches because it's easy. Brawl builds are still powerful but range is less so due to the hull nerf. For experienced captains and crew the pyra is outclassed but in pub matches it still works and I don't think its win rate took a big hit.

The nerf reduced acceleration from 2.5 to 2.25 m/s2. I think it should be back near 2.5 because speed made it the brawler it was. Now it's the speed of a galleon.

I would happily fly a pyra with 550 hull but not with 2.25 m/s2.

You can rabble about pyramidions somewhere else.

Back to the topic, it's a nice idea but probably too much of a hassle to do. Not to sound harsh, but there are more needed things that require less work and they still haven't been done.

I want an after match dance party! Winning is all well and good, but winning while looking fabulous while doing it is even more important.

Yeah. I think muse's resources are much better spent adding ship horns into the game. I leave up to your imagination the myriad uses of such a device, taunting after kills being one example.

They could also make some money selling custom horn sounds from workshop. I would pay for a 'quack quack' foghorn.

we only have 4 and there are 5 people needed for the ginyu.

in anycase this topic has reached a dead end. Muse does have plans in this regard. Just not the kind you specifically asked for.
