Golden Azrael Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Hello ScoRe, Leandro...or whoever is in charge of the Taunt Department of Humane Resources, Nearly every tank I seem to roll gets the guttural 'Hur!' (That's 3 tanks in a row.) Yet my Duo Partner's 1st roll is? 'Arh!' which sounds a bit more civilised. Is there any chance we can choose our Taunt noise like we can our flight poses? A hot fix? A choice? /taunt 'Arh!' /taunt 'Hur!' I really don't like the 'Hur' sound or the doubled over being sick pose either. I like the grand standing come and get some pose better...WITH the 'Arh....' Tank Love, Azrael. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rylas Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I think the Taunt is determined by the powerset. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you had Psi Melee, you're taunt would always be the Psi animation of taunting. I'm assuming every powerset has its designated taunt.

nihilii Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Isn't it Hur for huge characters and Arh for male characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marine X Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 From my experience there are three Taunt Audios: Female, Male and Huge Male. I was curious about this on Live and Made test toons and that seems to be what selects the audio. So I guess you just need to use a Male starting point and you'll be fine, there is probably not an easy way to change that on an existing character. But who knows......a little bribe here, and some grease there and you could be surprised to find how things go. heh, heh. " When it's too tough for everyone else, it's just right for me..."

SwitchFade Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Waaaiiit a minute. I think I'm misunderstanding. There's a way to change my male tank taunt sound to huge.... By surgeoning to huge, then? Back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sura Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I've seen threads about exchanging or eliminating sounds. The PIGG files I think? Couldn't you replace the Hur PIGG with the Arh PIGG? I will probably never type a sentence like that again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkuTenshiiZero Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 My female Shield/Stone Tanker lets out this grating Amazonian screech when the shield is out, but uses a normal "Hur!" taunt when the shield is not out. I really, really, REALLY wish something could be done about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oubliette_Red Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 They are mainly dependent on body type. Some powersets have their own, like Axe or Savage Melee. I don't play many melee characters so can't identify which one's of which you speak. You can actually listen to them by using the following command and entering your base: /sg_music "filename" (You do not need to use the .ogg extension, just the file name. You will have to have base editing rights to do this.) It will only play once, so it would be a good idea to turn off auras/toggles. FemTaunt1.ogg FemTaunt2.ogg FemTaunt3.ogg FemTaunt4.ogg FemTaunt5.ogg FemTaunt5b.ogg FemTaunt6.ogg FemTaunt7.ogg FemTaunt8.ogg FemTaunt9.ogg FemTaunt10.ogg MaleTaunt1.ogg MaleTaunt2.ogg MaleTaunt3.ogg MaleTaunt4.ogg MaleTaunt5.ogg MaleTaunt6.ogg MaleTaunt6b.ogg MaleTaunt7.ogg MaleTaunt8.ogg MaleTaunt9.ogg MaleTaunt11.ogg MaleTaunt12.ogg MaleTaunt13.ogg MaleTaunt14.ogg taunt1.ogg taunt2.ogg taunt3.ogg taunt4.ogg taunt4b.ogg taunt5.ogg 1 Dislike certain sounds?

Heraclea Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 This is why I ended up with an Amazon Army. I came up with quite a number of character concepts, but tankers, brutes, and scrappers have always been my favorites. The female taunt in i2 was always 'A-Ha!" while the male was a "Waah" that sounded a bit like the 'adult' voices in a Peanuts cartoon. I liked the female taunt much better so all of my tankers and brutes were female. Since then, the taunts have changed: mut my female shield/ax tanker has a terrible taunt. But with the old line power sets the sound remans the same.

Coyotedancer Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) One of the things I always loved about my Dual Blade tank back-in-the-day was his absolutely SILENT Taunt. He just struck a stylish sort-of 'Have at thee!' pose, there was a little "flash" sound and then he got on with the stabbing... No silly grunting or ARRR!ing or any of that. It was nice. So... My vote would actually be for a "minimal FX" version of Taunt that used the flash sound from DB, but didn't come with any attached vocalizations from the character at all.

Noyjitat Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Should be 4 taunts per body type based off the current stance/power set. Females: Ah.... - uses one hand and doesnt' have shield defense hah hah - this only comes from provoke i think in the presence pool yell/scream - for shield users without a weapon. Same yell as when you turn on the tough power. oooahhhh - the really pissed off sounding female. This is with shield defense and weapon and it happens on my mace character if im flying and not in idle hover stance. Maybe another sound for shield users that use provoke or that rare person that uses a single target taunt on a scrapper. I don't play male/huge characters but it should be roughly the same rules.

Uh, no thanks. I don't want to be locked in to one, the point was to have customization, make them all options for all sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malonkey1 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 With the way that PFX works, provided the SCORE/HC team hasn't changed stuff too much, it should be possible to make multiple customizations for taunts that use the different sounds selectable like any other power customization. The issue then becomes how many such options per taunt power the team would be willing to modify and add to customization options, which might be compounded for any taunts that have VFX, because then you'd likely also need matching versions for the regular and one or more color-tinted and/or no-FX options. So it's probably do-able, but might not be worth the time and effort for what's gotten out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank Love, Azrael. I wondered about this myself. I wanted the old taunt back, unsure why it was ever needed to change. It used to be (iirc) that the large bodied Tanks would get the Arh (which to me sounded way better and more intimidating) while the small bodied tanks and females got the hur sound. Now they all get the same taunt...bah. So yes, I am right there with you, either change it back to what it used to be or give us the option. I thumbs up this thread.
