new salute voice lines are kind of trash

[MissingTex]

i wanna scream rock and stone but instead they just start spewing paragraphs that don't match the hype of just saying rock and stone. cool update tho

[Deepest Blue]

I like the ones they added last update like "We rock!", but this update stuff like "Best ever!" or whatever it is feels like it's being shouted in lowercase. and there's several like that. Pretty lame, I agree.

That's objectively the best line in the game.

They seem like they're way more common than the old voice lines, which I kinda get them wanting to push the new voice lines and all. But I... wouldn't mind if they were made a bit less common, let's put it that way. :P

if it's not a Rock and Stone, it's a leaf-lover cheer.

I like the new salutes, but I can definitely see it as altering the mood of several situations, here's an example:

Extraction commences, you all run back up the cave. Swarms, no, seas of bugs flood the cavern you just came from, a raging torrent of teeth and claws roars and quakes from behind you. The gunner shouts "Run on ahead! I'll cover you.". The cave lights up from muzzle flash. Lead sprays into the writhing mass of bugs, as the stench of sulfur and bug guts fills the cave. Bugs start coming from above. The drop pod is in sight, and 3 of you make it in time before bugs close off the path. But it's too late for the gunner. He looks ahead and sees his opportunity for escape is gone, and he musters what vocal strength he can to let out a shout that shakes the cavern, and even scares some of the bugs back: "Gimme an R! Gimme an S! Gimme a rock and stone!"

Maybe they'll allow us to customize which voice lines we want to rotate through in the future. Could even add them to the helmet/backpacks we find. Maybe allow us to choose 5 or so lines we want to rotate through or possibly even an option to use just one.

I did notice one that was like "For those about to rock, we salute you." or something like that and thought that was pretty good and made me lol. Got that damn song stuck in my head now, lol.

ROCK . . . AND . . . STONE!

Some are quite bad, not sure how it made it past the drawing board. It's not like they were pressed to add new voicelines. I guess the update is aimed at making people want to R&S a lot less :(

I think the worst one is the cheerleader one. That one begins with little energy and tapers off even more at the end.

Have to admit I dislike some of the new Rock and Stones.

It's supposed to be a deadly adventure where dwarves risk their lives to get things done. While being sarcastic / passive aggressive / absurd with a bit of seriousness is perfectly normal down in the deeps, because you simply don't give a crap anymore... "Rock and Stone" means brotherhood. You don't joke about it.

Now there are lines that are too joyful or cheerful, they kinda ruin the atmosphere.
