"I love me some holo taunts.  There ain't nothin' better than a whole fuzzy bunny ton of them."

- Anonymous

 

For the weekend, we've taken to heart a few suggestions we've heard bandied about.  In short, we've dropped the HoloTaunt prices to a flat 38HC each, so you can really stock up on these things.  AND, for every HoloTaunt you purchase, you'll get a full refund by Wednesday.  This means you can litter the battlefield in ways you never thought possible.

 

Anybody here excited to see the screenshots?  This should be fun :)

 

Just to get in the mood....

Data-lord-capnjosh was ranting about how there's no logging for when a HoloTaunt gets used.  Now that would have been loads more fun.  Send him your condolences.

I'm unable to buy holotaunts :-( "waiting on store response" for a long time, then "meteor server unreacheable"..

 

EDIT: nvm it's working now.

ATTENTION PILOTS: Not that annny of you would say Pilot a mech and visit the garage after a libation or two, I want to point out how easy it is to accidentally hit MC purchase of these holotaunts when trying to buy for HC. Sure, sounds like a fuzzy bunny move - and definitely an evil dev trick to drum up cash for all the hateraide sippers out there - but when you're buying 200k+ worth of taunts at 100 a buy you might get impatient and baaaahhhh-boooom. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!


My work was done. ;)

This even highlights two very important problems with holos in this game:

 

  • Remaining holo count is not displayed in the cockpit.
  • holos do not do any damage when they strike an enemy.

I spent 38000 HC and 1225 MC on Holotaunts. I expect both to be fully refunded.

 

 

AND, for every HoloTaunt you purchase, you'll get a full refund by Wednesday. 

 
THIS DOES NOT SPECIFY PURCHASE METHOD.

 

I AM HOLDING YOU TO THIS. HARD.

Me and inci used a script that simulated a push to the holo-taunt key every 7 seconds. It was glorious ...

holos do not do any damage when they strike an enemy.

- Add 5 dmg if holo beat you in face.
- Make a achievement called "loldeath"

Than player start buy millions of holos, and maded script in config, which automatically throw holos, always. This turned hulken into P2B (Pay-2-Babaji). Profit.

There should be possibility to bind holo taunt to fire key, without unbindind fire itself. I have bought 1k holotaunts before event intending to flood battlefield with gren + holo but game dont allow to do so :/


But hey, you are right, some script might work

Except it interfered with boosting on occasion. But still, glorious. Taunts everywhere.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

You're going to refund the HC used to buy them? Or refund the holotaunts we use?

 

This seems like a diabolical plan to get rid of all the free floating HC people have if it turns out to be a prank.

It plainly says for every taunt you purchase, you get a refund.

What isn't clear is if this includes taunts bought with MC.

I managed to throw over 3200 holos in game for the fiesta this weekend. 

 

If only they did some damage other than the psycholigical pain they inflict on my enemies.

You actually got bonus hc. Josh ran it the first time refunding all holotaunt purchases with HC. Made sure he got the mc refunds in so you got the mc refund on top of an all hc refund.

You now owe me some hc. Pay up
