Bring taunts from classic into beta

I have become urghed by the amount of times I say "move" in-game. I suggest bring back the taunts circle from classic. You may call me lazy, yes, but i strongly think this should be added. I have seen how people loved the way you said "I fart in your general direction" and other taunts, and just thought they were really trying to scare away their enemies.

I'm sure this would make lots of people more happy, to just touch the taunts key and it says "move" at that instance, such as classic.

What if you had a keg, wanted your team to get out of the way when you suicide run into the enemy lines. You wouldn't want to stop, type move, then run into the enemy lines, when you could jist touch the taunts key while you're still running into battle!

This would be more say, better and would probably make the new-comers feel more like an army of King Arthur!

Suggestions? Good idea/Bad idea? Yes/No.?

 

I say have 2 submenus. One for commands like "Push Forward!" and "Retreat!" and then another submenu for insults for the other team. Commands should be in teamchat, so no one on the other team knows what you're saying. Insults/taunts should be so everyone on the server hears you call that filthy red's mother a hamster.

 

Yeah I wish the Taunts menu was back. What makes it even more odd is that in the controls menu there's still the option to rebind the key for Taunts even if they aren't in the game anymore.

 

Alternate Approach: look at the modding API and have a go at implementing it rather than all cheering "would be great" and then going back to idly browsing the internet. The key is exposed, the ConfigFile API is there if you want configuration, HUD rendering for custom menus is available as is the grid menus if you wanted an icon-oriented compact menu. We're not the only ones able to add stuff to the game, haven't been for ages.
The fact that your go-to answer for any feature, particularly one as community-contingent as a quick-chat menu is "nag the devs" when we've got so much more to do (integrating TR changes into KAG, working on TR itself, helping w/ single-player/mechanisms and menus, endless bugfixing) is honestly a dire symptom of how self-insufficient this community can be. No offence.

 

Didn't notice the big jump in dates, haha - as I said I really do mean no offence, it just makes me kinda sad that there's so much there that can be done by the community if they want it, but there's still endless request threads that peter off with "well, it'd be nice if it happened" rather than "can we move forward on this ourselves?" - we've accepted community fixes and contributions for a long time.

@Punk - "no idea how to change" - learn. Noone is born with knowledge of computers (afaik), it's not some innate, unchangeable property.

 

It would be nice if someone did this (not the devs) if it's something that can be done that way, then added in a community thread.

I can't be assed to do it, because if I wanted to go that far I'd just make a VGS system, and well I can't do that. (need nonripped-from-other-recent-games voices, etc)
