Boss taunts

I think it would be interesting and fun to see larger and important bosses like the Cyclops have a "taunting" animation if they manage to wipe out the raid attacking them.

This animation could be anything from a dance to rub In the feeling of shame to simply sitting down and eating a snack (like that fight was intense, let me eat over your ash piles)

It could also be things like a cheer or flourish. And if/when we get VA could have an accompanying boss win voiceline.

    Yeah he should moon the corpses or maybe even "roll the dice" at them. Would be pretty funny to see that as you stroll by with your group in the open world.

    I think to have some animations around that would be great. The cyclops could pick up a corpse if he is close enough and swing it as a weapon or just throw it away and then spawn an extra spirit wolf from the direction where he yeeted the dead.

    A dragon could just eat a fallen player and let out a triumphant roar.
    The answer is probably >>> HERE <<<

    A cyclops mooning a dead raid party would be pretty hilarious.

    Personally I'd prefer them to have petrify than taunt, Seen boss taunts in other games, gave me cancer, but hey I'm open to try both.

    It’s a slippery slope. First we have bosses mooning us, what next? Boars in the starting area flossing and teabagging corpses…..

    JK JK I don’t care. Game is gonna be interesting either way.

    Much love ❤️

    That would really cool to see. Only thing preventing that is that we all get turned into a pile of ash when we die.

    Which is why I would make the use of a corpse as a weapon animation range limited, he swings the player once, on hit it explodes into a cloud of ash, but if the Cyclops is too far away he wouldn't have time enough to swing it, so he might just "stomp out" the pile of ash.

    But having a dragon do like a wing flap and all the ashes blow away or something would be nice.

    That would be real cool as well, yeah :D

    Mobs, including bosses, should loot the players they kill and add the items to those they drop when defeated.

    Nastiest taunt ever.

    Lord Nagafen in Everquest used to summon the corpse of all his victims, and add them to his treasure pile. Back them, all your gear was left on your corpse when you died. Was rough to get the stuff back if the raid failed. Good fun!
