The taunt was funny at first, but now it's getting annoying. I almost died when I was playing Kritz medic and the kritzkrieg taunt wasn't working. Thank god the fire went out before I died. Not to mention the numerous attempts I've tried to taunt kill and my character decided to dance instead.
So what do you think? Should Valve nix the thriller taunt and save it for next year?
I miss the taunt kills.
They should have it only if one of these things happens:
1:If you have the Paper Bag / Ghastly Gibus. (It should be exclusive to the Paper Bag, though, because that's specifically labeled as a holiday mask.)
2: You are playing on Harvest_Event.
3: They introduce some sort of Halloween mode similar to birthday mode.
That or just make it as rare as the spy-crab taunt.
it's becoming so constant that i miss the old taunts and want them back
also want taunt kills back even more now :D

That would be too common.

That's exactly something a spy-crab poacher would say.

Difference being Spy Crab taunts are actually cool.
Thriller taunt can actually interfere with a taunt kill, thus being annoying.

But at a spy crab rate it would still be lower than it currently is.
Let me summarize my post for you impatient types: Yes. It's getting me killed way more than normal. Either can it, or limit it like Sgt. Napalm suggested.
The day the Halloween update hit, about 20 minutes before it did hit, I started playing TF2 to get re-used to everything. In about an hour and a half I scored 3 taunt kills - one of which didn't even stun.
I logged off some time later, and saw TF2 update. I, of course, cussed TF2 out for having its update come out 20 minutes after I started playing. So I hopped back in so I could get my hats early. Much fun was had Thriller dancing. I missed a taunt kill or two, but so what? It was an awesome taunt.
Flash forward to yesterday: I'm sitting on the last cap of Gold Rush, frantically trying to help my team fend off the advancing onslaught of Ubered death. We're getting harassed by a Sniper and a Demoman. I figured they were in the little window hallway thing overlooking the point - which was right - and slide up the stairs behind them. Neither one of them had ANY idea I was there. The PERFECT time to taunt kill. Of course, I kukrid them both to death because of utter shit chance of actually getting a fucking kill taunt. By the time I had taunt killed one of them, BLU probably would've gotten the last point or one of them would've bumped into me and/or turned around and beaten me to death. We still lost that fucking round.
Isn't the Halloween Special ending soon anyway? Did we ever get details on what'll happen to all the Halloween content once it's over (specifically the paper bag)? I haven't been around the forums lately (thank Borderlands), so I haven't been keeping up.

Quit taunting, then.

It ends on November 9th, the paper bag will stay but you can't wear it (I think), and the taunt will probably go away with the event.
And the achievement for dominating someone with the Gibus will always be there, according to a Valve guy on the steam forums.
i was a medic and was burning till i had 10 hp left. desperate as i had a 90%+ uber, i tried to taunt with the kritz and did the thriller, making me die.
:argh:
Making all taunts the thriller dance was stupid on Valve's part.
[QUOTE=Keychain;18179671]Making all taunts the thriller dance was stupid on Valve's part.[/QUOTE]
That isn't how it works.
It's so annoying when I'm going around with my fist and find a lonely sniper, and i think ( oh lol ima taunt kill this guy ) and you stand there dancing next to him.

sandvich always works doesn't it?
i end up getting it the wrong way around
when i want to dance i end up fencing the spycrab next to me:crying:
jarate taunts are always thriller dances :smug:
[QUOTE=stea1th;18181292]jarate taunts are always thriller dances :smug:[/QUOTE]
As are sapper and PDA taunts.
I still find it awesome. I was spy witth dead ringer, and a scout with sandman 'killed me'. He did his sandman taunt and he saw me uncloak behind him. I did the 'thriller dance' before I backstabbed him. It was beast.
It's annoying now.
I lost the opportunity to taunt kill so many times. :argh:
I am pretty mad that the Halloween special is extended for another week.
They should have started it a week earlier to stay with the Halloween spirit, not extend it another week after Halloween has already passed.
The Thriller taunt should be limited to taunts that don't do anything (so no on the Sandman/Pyro's secondary/sandvich/fists/Kritzkreig/Huntsman/knife). Problem solved.
Also screw you guys Thriller taunt is awesome :colbert:
[QUOTE=NotPigeon;18194111]Also screw you guys Thriller taunt is awesome :colbert:[/QUOTE]
It was a week ago.
[QUOTE=NotPigeon;18194111]Also screw you guys Thriller taunt is awesome :colbert:[/QUOTE]
awesome at first, yes. but after a while it becomes old and repetitive.
It should have been a real thriller taunt were you stand stiff, raise your right shoulder then do the claws thing.
And thriller music playing in the background.
Well...Guess the song fits percetly when you do the taunt and are sitting duck head shot practice:Your Paralyzed..Thriller
As a heavy I tried to tauntkill before, instead I got the dance resulting in the taunting spy to finish his taunt and backstab me.
I say have it enabled with paper bag on and for other than gameplay-effecting taunts.
