Box Trot Taunt

[Serena]

Something I noticed while on death run is that a person used their box trot taunt before the round started and was able to move before anyone else is able to. Specifically, it was on wolfenstein, I saw a person use the taunt to go up to the door before anyone could move at all. Not all maps have doors like these to stop anyone from getting ahead. I'm not exactly pointing this out as a "OMG BAN THIS TAUNT AHHHHH" kinda thing, but I wanted to discuss this with other regulars and admins if they have seen this and see a problem with it.

I don't exactly see an issue with it on DR, but it could maybe become an issue in the future with different maps and on different servers.

I have to say on freak fortress it is used a lot as a tool to hide in a corner and waste a slot for a couple hours unless an admin comes in. I'm not directly going to say ban it as it can be fun as well and I think this will decline over time. I've seen the same with the rango relexo and it's fine now.

These issues have been stated already and I'm sure Fire and Spicy are aware of it. But this update has gotten everything fucked up with all types of servers there are issues everywhere. The best we can do is just stay calm and as admins punish the people who exploit these issues until the situation is fixed.

I think we should keep the taunt on DR but modify it so that people can't get a head start on certain maps, which is also one of the reasons why conga was disabled beside the fact that it can crash the server.

Anyone with the box trot taunt can move before the round starts on pretty much every deathrun map, just like conga. I've seen it done on a lot of the maps. I don't think it's a big deal it will give users a tiny advantage maybe a couple seconds ahead of the rest, but once they reach another door or trap the lead they had will be lost unless they get through.

I like the box trot .n.
But, some measures may need to be taken in certain servers.

On Death Run could you just make taunts not usable until the start of the round? Fairly certain Freak Fortress you can't taunt until the round starts, so why not add it to DR?

It would be a good idea actually.

I've seen some spies fool around with the Box trot and I've used it once personally for a mini-contest. I won't say it's gamebreaking, and it doesn't really allow any head starts on VSH for Spies. Though the taunt's addictiveness might be a small problem for friendlies (though then again the same could be said for Spycrabs).

[SakuraTheBabyfur]

Conga and the kick taunt were removed because they cause lag and could crash the server. The other taunts most likely won't be removed, and of people expoit taunts or use them to be friendly on servers where friendliest are not allowed then they can be punished in a Case by case manner. Removing the taunt entirely isn't really fair
