A Suggestion: Taunts and Emotes in MP

[pango]

I know we have a lot of things/issues to discuss concerning MP, and what I am going to say is not one of them but it just crossed my mind while I was watching a Mordhau video.

I believe it would be funny as f*** to be able to taunt your enemies in the heat of the battle. Like being able to say ''away with you vile beggar'' after you get a kill, or ''That's a nice head you have on your shoulders'' while approaching an enemy.

Emotes are a reach at this point, but why not? I am not talking about dancing or doing the floss or anything like that, so calm your titties. LOL.
As I can remember, you could hit your own shield on the side with your sword/axe's shaft to make a sound while slowly approaching the enemy or blow a horn in Viking Conquest, as if is a ritual.

Would be awesome.

Hell yeah dude. I think this was confirmed to come but I can't quite remember. Bashing your shield and similar taunts would be great, and new taunts could be tied in with the upcoming progression system. We're still yet to see if TW is going to try monetize it however.

Let me and the boys floss.

Why? I love getting tea bagged all the time. Its the only reason i still play MP

Can't wait to boot up MP, see a load of N-word and holocaust spam in the chat, get killed by KKK_N*****RKILLER_1488_[GRANDTURK], and then get flossed on when they throw an axe at me at point blank. Peak gameplay.

KKK_N*****RKILLER_1488_[GRANDTURK]

KKK, N****RKILLER and 1488 all related to the same thing - whereas GRAND TURK isn't fitting into that context. Even though your sarcastic message is not about this, it's still a very stupid example to use. Because you are creating an association between being a Turk and being racist against black people.

Did you hit your head or something? This was literally the most retarded **** I've read in this subforum. What moved you to type this nonsense out?

 

[pango]

Some of the people in the forum literally exist to spread negativity, it feels like their whole purpose is to oppose to/disagree with everything that's been said.

Just like the people who are opposed to the implementation of VoIP in MP, then don't ****ing use it mate. There you go.

 

[Scalpel01]

I think you should be able to whistle like on c-rpg. To attract team or enemy attention. I missed this when first playing bannerlord.

Multiplayer people might not be aware - but the singleplayer just got a new bunch of emotes that look like they were put in place specifically for MP (as they don't make much sense in SP).

So when you press 'O' or whatever button you are using - you now get two emotes menus;

Left Click - Cheers. Gives you five options for your character to wave their arms around and cheer. Quite cool but suitable for either mode.

Right Click - Barks. These are quick one line voice emotes - however notably they are all things that make more sense in MP. 'Sorry' 'Attack Now' 'Hold Back' - that sort of thing. None of them are tied to unit commands so they are just audible - non-mechanical.

Most likely these will be the new MP emotes - and probably added in version 1.6.0 which is due to be the big MP update.

I disagree with you

 

[pango]

I disagree with you

I agree with you on the fact that you disagree with me.

 

[ParzivaI]

Not tauts but the cheer emotes like you have in the singleplayer... adding tauts will only add more toxicity

 

[Alyss]

trash idea

 

[flashn00b]

If emotes were to return, they'd probably have to bring back the male voice from Mount&Blade: Warband for use in male and female characters.

"RAAAAGH!"
"YOU BASTAAAAARD!"
"I VILL DRINK FROM YOUR SKAHL"

 

[Jesus__is__Lord]

they have a mod for native warband that allows you to do this,

the entire server was filled with "away you vile beggar, etc" spammed all the time

horrible idea in my opinion unless you have an option to disable it completely for people who do not want to hear it

If you're talking about NeoGK, i actually find the taunting to be pretty fun. I never figured out what button makes you say "Away with you, vile beggar" and "It's almost harvesting season!"

I sunk so many hours on NeoGK servers, because it was just so funny. I remember cry-laughing for minutes because of a perfectly timed ''Oi you there! Stop!'' sound lol.

It shouldn't be a concern. There can be a cooldown everytime you use it, so you cant spam it. I think that's how it worked on NeoGK. Maybe they can only be allowed on goofy deathmatch servers where people kill each other mindlessly. I like it. Warband was such a meme-y goofy game and Bannerlord just pales in comparison. Too boring and too serious in terms of atmosphere. (You can't even be that naked char with a 2 handed sword ffs lol) Taunts and emojis would help make it a little relaxed, welcoming and fun.

If you experience someone having a different opinion as a negative opinion, then yes. I don't think VoIP will add a lot to the game to be honest. The problem with VoIP is that it will most likely be abused more than used. If everyone spoke English well, and people didn't earrape and troll or throw insults, then VoIP could be a great addition. But I think we've seen countless examples of where it leads to more frustration than enjoyment of the game. This is just my opinion, but if I want to communicate with people I will just hop into a discord server talk there.

As for the taunting, I think it would be a great thing to have. Especially considering the NeoGK times.. However, I would argue to make the sounds more badass and slightly less trolly. I mean some of the sounds were really good but others were just plain dumb. I guess I just prefer a slightly more realistic ambience than having people spam cry earrape me, lol. In any case, I think TW will implement this at some point.

Great idea, needed really badly as the only way of communication right now is the text chat and voice isn't coming to bigger gamemodes.
