An Extra Taunt Button?
« on: March 16, 2008, 01:16:27 am »
This idea probably does not apply to non clanners/gatherers as one set of taunts is good enough.

However I've always found i don't have enough keys for the number of taunts i would like during cws.

I've always wanted more taunts for certain situations but I've simply run out of keys.

So what about adding another taunt key so at the moment we have alt+key for one taunt list, but what about ctrl+ key for another taunt list. (ctrl is just an example, i know alot of people use this key as prone but the new taunt key could be any old useless key like "\" or "z")


This will help because:

- Players will be able to go into alot more detail with their taunts as they will now have twice the number of keys at their disposal

- Even if you don't have the need for many taunts, personally I still wouldn't want my taunts on buttons to the right of "4", "r" ,"f", "v" so having a second use for the keys 1,2,3 and under would mean that dam problem of stretching your fingers across the keyboard would no longer exist.

This is not a feature that will affect that many players but if its easy enough to code (as in copy and paste) why not add it? But then again i don't have clue how hard this would be to implement

Anyway this just a luxury idea and something that would make taunting a little easier.
If theres any kind of hassle in implementing this then its probably not worth the consideration.

Huh.

This is actually a really good idea.

It'd be extra useful for "inc/efc/ffc/rush low/mid/high"

That's actually a pretty good idea. You could have an efc inc h/m/l for alt and ffc for ctrl.

Hmmm there are tons of keys on the keyboard.

I have space for inc high/low/mid, Efc high/low/mid, ffc high/low/mid, get in position, In position, Rush! , Clear! All those things. i dont' see how you could run out of keys :|

Well if you're taunts are made up of pointless messages, then just delete them. Go through your taunts, and only select the vital ones. I used to think there weren't enough taunt keys, but I just cleared out all the ones that don't help out in cws. I do have spaces for a few default ones, but 95% of my taunts I use in every cw.

Although I see the benefits of extra and more specific taunts, to really help with the communication of your team, it's not exactly vital to further the development of the game, it's just a luxury suggestion.

F12 ftw..
Would be easier to make taunt that actually fits you better, instead of having one close the the "enter" button.

And here I have taunts that I'm not even using.

IMO, using voice chat instead of another taunt key would make more sense.

To be honest, I actually play a lot better without someone shouting in my ear. I'd rather the traditional taunt and typing.

good idea but it would be abused by people who fill there taunts with advertising and spamming.

^ You hardly ever see that with the current system, and when was the last time you saw an advertiser who needed more than 26 taunts?
