Talk:Taunts

Updating the taunt pages

So we need to update the class taunt pages that don't have the high-fives. Anyone who is good with images wanna take a crack at that? If not, I'll work on it this weekend. -- En Ex _(talk) 18:07, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

A question, wouldn't the Sandvich taunt be considered a special taunt, like Oktoberfest? Justin8 12:56, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Amputator's healing taunt

Should the Amputator's taunt be classified as a Special Taunt? Given that it has an additional ability very similar to (and definitely more powerful than) the Kritzkrieg's taunt, one would think it would fit right in even though it's visually identical to the Bonesaw/Vitasaw's taunt. -- KaiserYoshi 09:45, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Videos

Does anyone really need four videos to illustrate the exact same set of taunts? Hostile Companion Cube ^Roar 05:55, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Was about to pull this to attention. This is what the crap wiki does, they have a multitude of videos all of the same thing on the same page. Anyways, the unused guitar taunt is should go on the Dischord page itself. We should keep if any, one of the high five videos, and get an AA image for the bottle taunt to go on the bottle page. Just an ideal way to fix things. Any other ideas people? -= M-NINJA =- 02:27, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Possible use of High Five?

Recently, I was parked in a corner, when a Demoman walks up and taunts. This somehow triggered the high five animations. I'm thinking it's some sort of mod, but if it's not, it may be worth adding.Gigaspine7 21:11, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Same here, but I had a high-five when me and Soldier were in front of each other and taunting simultaneously. Have to check on couple of different servers to see if it's a mod or not. Ae jarv 12:50, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

It's a sourcemod plugin. —Moussekateer·talk 14:16, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

yep its plugin mode and activating by sm_highfive or !highfive . So nope we cant add this.

Must have ammo?

Why to include that? Everyone knows that if you don't have ammo you can't exuip the weapon. Besides you can do the taunt with no ammo. Shoot your last bullet and then quickly press g before the game switches your weapons. There should just be a trivia section explaining that in the bottom of the article. --SandeProElite 17:14, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Irrelevant, IMO. Besides, that stuff doesn't belong in trivia. It's a game mechanic. Turboplant 18:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Do we need these videos?

Take a look at the videos on the class specific taunt articles (let's use the Soldier taunts as an example). I suggest that we remove these as the individual taunts are demonstrated on a per-weapon basis and therefore in more depth by the weapon demonstration project. Besides, I think whoever put them on the articles might be farming views as the videos have been made with the Replay system. i-ghost 13:26, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree, they're not needed. —Moussekateer·talk 14:20, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Same for me, you can delete it. It was only added to farm views. --Pratolli 14:26, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I don't like the high five video. Its 8 minutes long and seeing as the taunts take up all of 4 seconds it seems like a brilliant waste of time . It's just repeated heaps and heaps of times and i think the only way you can get off with that is by providing different angles. Anyway, I think it'd be better if someone remade the video.Pierow 06:48, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Taunt kill names

I just want to know where we got the taunt kill names from. Were they fan made, created by the wiki or officially released? Pierow 06:42, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi-five?

In the "hi-five" description, it says that all classes except the Engineer have hi-five taunts, but it then says that after the Soldier and Demo got their taunts, Engi got his in the Engi update, followed by the others. So which is it? Can the Engineer Hi-five? Ericson666 17:29, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

Technically no one can high-five, it's unused content. 18:42, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

Engineer does have high-five animations (all classes do). Balladofwindfishes 18:43, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

Class taunt demonstrations

I think it's kinda silly that we just have images for taunts on the class taunt pages, like Scout taunts. Maybe videos or .gif files should replace them? Same for the kill taunt pages, like Decapitation. --SilverHammer 18:50, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

 Agree It looks like we have one for the laughing taunt and meet the medic taunt, so it looks like something they're working on. However, I agree. Balladofwindfishes 18:52, 13 July 2011 (PDT)

explaining.

I understand why the star of my own show achievement is here but maybe a few other people won't. Just throwing it out there how maybe we should explain somewhere here how the achievement unlocks the Director's vision taunt.
