Effect of Taunt more visible

[Nut]

Hi to all,

my character Anwyn has got her great aim: Taunt
Not because it might be useful killing hard opponents. Just for the fun of teasing them, as they struggle to fight her

But the effect could be more visible - there is nothing to see, just the monsters attack less times than before.

What do you think about adding some comment in Combat Dialog, when Taunt was successful,
randomly chosen of many phrases like:
- Here I am!
- Missed again!
- Haha
- Almost boring with you
- Can't you do better?
- Lame as a duck
- Where am I?
- ...

This might show the spirit of "Taunt" and would be fun

and what about a animation effect.

I try to think about "taunt" in real life, and is it not more speaking than doing something?

You say some bad things, taunting the opponent, so that he gets mad and is not able to concentrate any more.
And then you laugh and say some more...

So is it not really better to show the reaction of taunt in words than in animation?

[Melarec]

I think it would neat to have both.. The text in the log and perhaps the old theatre style masks as an animation.. You know, the happy/sad ones? Like that with the happy over the player and sad over the monster..

Meh. I don't use taunt myself, but this is a cool idea.

Good suggestions. at least an icon next the monster's AP would be nice.

Can we anticipate the side effect of this skill being visible in version 0.7.2?

I would certainly like to see some indication that an actor condition has been inflicted on a monster. it keeps coming up as an issue. http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5575
