Hi can any of the devs implement an option to allow us to switch off taunt? so I wont have to constantly see some troll spamming the taunt when all I am trying to do is just learn the game?
Its really putting me off and its just making me not touch this game an option that allows it to be hidden on my end would be fantastic
This taunt only aids in creating a toxic experience and I would greatly like an option for it to be disabled on my end if the user wants to spam it let him go ahead on his end.
How about you explain in a detailed response why someone doing an animation that has no effect on gameplay hinder your ability to learn how to play the game?
because it affects me aswell as my blood pressure since I suffer from hypertension I have done numerous tests for each video game and this seems to negatively affect my health badly and its the only thing I find wrong with KI. The taunts especially rash and jago is very toxic and annoying. I don’t mind Tusk etc but some of the taunts are VERY toxic and annoying.
I really don’t need it and an option to disable it on my end would be fantastic I mean you can spam the taunt all you want and it won’t affect me. A little option somewhere in the menu to disable it on my end would be fantastic
If you have an issue like that a high-tension fast-paced fighter is probably not going to be good for your health, whether or not taunts are a part of the equation.
Actually FB introduced an option to disable the annoying announcers in Heroes of Newerth and it has significantly reduced my blood pressure while gaming.
In the very same way I downloaded the “No Anxiety Mod” for Street Fighter 5 and it has effectively kept my pressure at normal compared to before.
So I don’t subscribe to your logic that all high tension fast pace fighter is no good for me. In KI my main issue is the taunt, I can play casual in KI and not worry about anxiety pressure. In SF5 I can download a no anxiety mod, but in KI I cannot disable the taunt.
And there is no mod to disable the taunt. If I fight a opponent with a non toxic taunt my pressure is normal, its especially bad with Jago shaking his stupid head in disappointment yeah ok so disappointed that you are a pro and I am just trying to learn the game? really?
You might just want to hang up your sticks if that’s the case man.
Every game you play is going to be full of those kinds of people, fighting games have taunters, shooters have teabaggers, even games like UNO have trash talkers and a-holes man. I hate to sound like a prick but you need to suck it up and calm down so it doesn’t effect your health, for real or find a new hobby. Taunting is part of the game, like seriously the developers put it in as a feature and I don’t see them giving an option to disable it. They’re not going to disable the crouching animation either, just don’t take it so seriously.
Taunts are supposed to be a good natured poke at the other player, not something to get worked up over.
I dont mind Orchid’s taunt her taunt is actually nice or even Thunder taunt infact Thunder’s taunt is encouraging its like come on come at me. Unfortunately for the likes of Jago and Rash etc its annoying and toxic.
An option to disable it on my end won’t hurt anyone and will be a great benefit to many I have seen other members of this community complain about this issue as well so I am not alone its a shame though considering how awesome Tusk’s and Orchid’s taunt is.
Petting the leopard is so nice. And then you have Jago and Rash who are just so annoying I would rather just disable it totally and be done with it. I am sure that option is not difficult for IG to implement
Do you know why taunters taunt? They do it because of people like you. They know some people will get annoyed if they taunt. That is why they do it. It isn’t a big deal. Why does taunting bother you? Because a guy pressed a button? Because an imaginary character out there does something and you find it toxic? Rash dances. When is dancing toxic? Jago is disappointed. If you are winning,the taunt seems silly. When losing,it is just an imaginary video game character that seems disappointed in you. Does it really matter?
I’m not saying its going to hurt anyone, it just seems like a low priority for the dev team to focus on when we have serious issues they could be working on. When I see the other guy taunt me I don’t focus on the animation and how disrespectful it is, I take it as a challenge. “Oh you son of a… I’ll get you next time!” I say to myself. Never once have I gotten angry that the other guy used an intended feature to upset me. Its all part of the “mind games” that come with playing Killer Instinct.
Let’s think about this for a second… a character in a video game shakes his head is a disappointed fashion. This makes your blood pressure rise to unhealthy levels. Is solution is really to disable the animation or just learn how to deal with it?
If you’re playing exhibition, and the opponent is tea-bagging or taunting like a ■■■■■■■the whole time and then ends up beating you, wait for the likely double ultra. When they recapture, alt+F4. You will be surprised how effectively doing that just throws old warm cabbage all over their boner.
Just yesterday, a Hisako taunted repeatedly during every match, and then she double-ultra’d me twice during that exhibition set. She did this really annoying Hisako thing during the ultra where she would repeatedly teleport and then cHK, just over and over until K/V maxed out. When she recaptured for the second ultra the second time, I quit out. Four-ish seconds later, I get a super salty PM from the person on XBL. All of their trolling had clearly backfired on them.
That kind of thing will wash your salt right into your opponent’s lap. It feels pretty vindicating.
I don’t feel particularly clean for giving this advice. Nonetheless, it is a very effective way to deal with trolls who waste your time. You feel better, they feel worse. Ultra win.
If the player is using the taunt to get under your skin, then they are using it correctly. The Taunt has been in fighting games since the beginning. You simply need to learn to not let it get to you. Focus on the match.
People use taunts to get you angry, to cause you to lose focus.
I personally never taunt unless its a game with a friend or if the other player is just really rude.
In short… Keep focus and don’t let the taunts get to you.
The Disable announcer’ option in HoN was here since long time ago, before VRZO comes out.
Even with that, FB didn’t introduce the disable annoying announcers.
Players did it with Mods.
/offtopic.
As you said, Taunts aren’t toxic as themselves.
You have only a problem with “cocky” taunts such Jago/Rash.
It’s not about all taunts. It’s about particulars ones.
===>You cannot generalize your problem when you got trouble with a single one/two.
Some people thinks tea-bagging is worse, and they got trouble with that.
But does you read any post/thread about deleting tea-bagging? I don’t think so my friend.
They’re just ignoring it or quit, because some taunts/trolls players just wants you to get mad.
Players are the problem, not the game.
I feel bad for your health problem.
I can just give an advice or two when you encounter such player/troll like that:
1°) Ignore it and move on.
2°) If you cannot, just quit. It’s better to get out before you get mad, because it will become worse.
3°) Go out. Make a break. Take a breath. Then come back when you’ll feel better
Edit: On a personal note, i never taunt, except if he did constantly or tea-bagging.
One day, i fought a funny Rash who’s taunting a lot.
It wasn’t done on purpose. He was just happy.
==>He was taunting at the end of a round, but I let him ends. He was laughing hard (me too).
