PGI DONT YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING THIS AWAY. THIS IS A FEATURE. NOT A BUG. DONT. EVEN. THINK. ABOUT. IT.

This dance always brightens me up after I get utterly mauled. Keep it!

Sometimes when the EBJ is killed, the game's ragdoll physics go beserk and the dead mech begins spinning and slipping around uncontrollably.

It's epic :D

lol, I voted yes, but you all know there's absolutely zero chance they aren't gonna fix that one, right?

Actually... this happened once before IIRC.... I don't remember which mech it was, though...

Slight update on this: The dance is only client side, not server side. So if you kill an EBJ expecting the dance, you won't see it. Only the EBJ pilot (and curiously, anyone spectating them), will see the dance.

I had to look it up on youtube, never saw it before. PGI needs to keep it forever, and also add it to every other mech so at the end of a match there can be an equally awesome breakdance battle.

I'd even settle for it being an April 1st only thing. But it'd have to be done every year. >.>

Heck, I think they should make ALL mechs do this on April Fool's Day as a gag. Why not? A bit of humor...

My dancing jaguar definitely cheers me up when I die. I kinda hope it stays, since it's harmless.

Well,

i don't own any EBJ, but my Kintaro KTO-20 does a great "Undead-BreakDance"-Performance after being desroyed that i love to watch till the games ends every time.
So i voted "Yes" and would like to see this feature implemented with every mech. Or maybe we can have a "dancing mech of the month"?

Greetings

I stand by the fact that if there is an actual malfunction with said mech and it is purposely written into the game, that it is okay.

But this is a bug, and it is sloppy coding, which probably has other bits of sloppy coding surrounding it. Fix the problem, and then consider an actual implementation if people want it. No need to close the door on bugs in a game. This isn't some Alpha build.

I want to play something that is supposed to perform perfectly as advertised and designed. Playing a game that is mistakenly bugged on my computer is a turn off. Playing a game that is purposely designed to malfunction a certain way is another story altogether which adds to the excitement and immersion of the game (such as a UAC jamming).

I say fix the bug and consult the community on little bits of immersion for implementation after it's fixed.
