[Feature Request] [TF2] Bring a new life to the sprays #4540

Open exactsameproblem opened 1 year ago

exactsameproblem commented 1 year ago

Hello there,

We all know that sprays have been turned off because of some bad behaviours in game, and this is totally understandable.

But can I suggest an idea to give the sprays a second life?

I thought about only allowing 10, 20 or even 30 pre-made sprays to choose from. They could be useful sprays like "Need a dispenser here!", or "Spy! Watch your back!". Or funnier sprays like "Nice shot!", "Missed!" and so on. It looks like many games already do the same thing.

This could be extended easily, for example by adding a color according to the current team.

And why not accepting community-made sprays on the workshop too? I really think something can be done that way while making everyone happy.

What do you think about this idea? It would definitely be another monetization avenue for Valve.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my message.

Best,

Great idea. and seeing as how modern games like Valorant, Fortnite, and Apex have the same feature - I don't see why not. https://valorant.fandom.com/wiki/Sprays

A lot of children play this game. And even ignoring that - normal people don't want to be subjected to porn randomly in a video game.

There are sprays like this on Gamebanana, very easy to find too.

I hope some avenue for customization is left around should this be implemented, at least on community servers.

Hello, Yes, @condor00fr wrote about Gamebanana in order to find some examples and it's indeed a good resource. I picked this one for example: https://images.gamebanana.com/img/ss/sprays/4500.jpg which is very basic but it might need to be translated then. So a better idea (without translations needed) is this one: https://images.gamebanana.com/img/ico/sprays/564f5dedddbdb.png I'm not sure if and how it would be possible to help on that Feature request? Best
