Like in Counter-strike or other games, why not let us make our own animated holograms from animated gifs to taunt people?

Because people would post nothing but fuzzy bunny.

 

Can you imagine the humanity of it?

Pretty sure this goes back to the same reasons why we don't have the ability to make our own skins, decals, etc.

Lots of infrastructure needs to be designed and implemented, both technical and political.

People had a similar power in COD black ops and look how that turned out. 

 

It would be even less acceptable here with the teen rated game. Wouldnt mind it if it was rated M however.

The closest thing we really have to a vulgar taunt, display, or summat is the A Class "Tea Bag" and the C Class "Double Bag Brag".

As with every other community made content we just need filtering before it gets added to the game. This way it would not deviate from the lore and the feel of the game.

 

I can not seem to find nepacaka's other awesome holo taunt designs. This is a "fuzzy bunny":

Online interactions not rated by the ESRB? :tongue:

http://m.esrb.org/faq_06.php

But I think the question is more about making money, just like not being able to make our own camo/skin design.
I posted something semilar in alpha and thought that the only way to "sell" this product would be by selling us a "custom skin modkit".
than I thought It could be a "clan kit" so clans could implement their emblem/camo/taunts but that's when we all thought, with hype, that hawken would be the game of the year :yes:

The only way it could work is if you had people who screened submissions beforehand.

Otherwise you'd just have stuff like dongs, religious icons (for the sake of ridicule) and general lewdity everywhere.


everything is going to be daijobu

If you have images in your signature, you're part of the reason why I disable them.

Unfortunately, this is pretty much the case.

Take for example Need for Speed: World.

The player has the ability to make their own paint design with various vinyls in different designs and shapes, with each one costing a fixed about of in-game credits.

It's allowed for some amazing creative designs (I've seen spongebob designs, and I made the reddit alien on the back of one of my cars as well), but I've also seen cars with f bombs and Nazi swastikas all over them.

Soul Calibur 5 has a way to make your own character design using various shapes, and there are tutorial videos on how to make over-sized genitalia on male characters.

Don't misunderstand, I'm all for the ability to add my own stuff into the game, but there is a lot of things to plan out and take into consideration.

I am aware of all that. I have also created a lot in soul calibur, modnation, need for speed series and so on. And yes there is some of them who create "bad moral stuff".  There could be a lot of planning done or community support to flag them but in some way, these people sadly exist in our world and it's not by being scared by them that we will be able to confront them. We have such moral/ethical problems in our lives, we had in the past and will also have does challenges in the future, it's part of humanity. I think if the community is ready to work with the devs,  anything can happen, and I think the hawken community proved itself to be quite impressive.

What i'm saying is that: it is possible, other games have done it, so how can hawken make it? (or make it's variation)

Like mentioned above posts, there used to be a lot of community art and implementing such art in-game could work, on a vote or some other filtering method.

Of course it's possible, wasn't saying that it wasn't. :thumbsup:

 

I did bring this up with Josh directly during the initial meet and greet thing on the teamspeak and mentioned a community-based vetting process.  He didn't seem to be against it, but there is a lot to figure out and plan.

 

If it happens, it's probably going to be some time before we see it if it's implemented.

Oh! I suspect as much ;) I'm just planting seeds ;)

I wish I could do as much as some in the community do, interviews and the like. They make hawken "business" their current passion. Heck I'm having a hard time investing in my own passion, photography...

Good job to all of you.

Excuse my ignorance but why/how is this vulgar in any way ?  :unsure:

Lauren, you're funny.

On that matter, again, online interaction not rated by the ESRB, take a little time to think about what you create... then the community can interfere and work with the devs.

Yeah I wouldn't mind some meatspin in Hawken, it's just that, Teen Rating and whatnot.

Teen rating doesn't cover user created content

 Also, what's with the puritanical "Bad moral stuff" in this thread, why is it so bad to have a fuzzy bunny on their mech? it just makes them an easier target for my Raider. And if they want to have the ramifications of having the communal ingame backlash of nobody wanting to play with them that's their choice, they shouldn't be immediately vilified just because they have different comedic tastes. Also pin-up girls on war machines has been a long going and glorious passion in the past and present.

International audience.

 

Some places have much more strict laws regarding things that others don't.  This also applies to a suggestion made in the past about being able to bet on matches.  Beyond the obvious ways it can be abused (and gives people a reason to try and take over accounts as we currently can't transfer HC or MC between players), some places have outright bans on any type of on-line gambling, regardless if the 'money' used is real or not.

 

Agree with it or not, that's how things are right now.

Y'know, for the polite and informative reply I'll say this, I guess it's just because I live in burger-land that silly practices like that don't enter into my mind, I still think it's stupid, but at least now I know the reasoning behind.
