So, how do you want the Kill Feed to be in the DayZ Standalone for official servers?

 

No kill feed

Minimal kill feed ("Bob was killed")

Moderate kill feed ("Bob was killed by Billy")

Maximum kill feed ("Bob was killed by Billy with a DMR")

Other (please post a reply)

 

P.S. The DayZ mod currently has minimal kill feed.

No kill feed :) Confirm your kills manually.

 

1. It doesn't regard the entire server to know who got killed.

2. It gives a chance to players to miraculously survive by playing dead.

3. No bragging right.

4. Paranoids!

1. True, but the same thing could be said of any FPS. :P

2. That's actually a really good point.

3. Also a valid point.

4. Lol!

 

The main reason I think moderate kill feed would be nice is that you can tell who backstabbed you so they can't just lie and say they didn't kill you. But that's probably a luxury that will only appear in Private Hives.

 

I deleted my choice for now as I still need to think about it.

Yeah but it goes both ways, they can't prove they killed you.

Yeah, I don't see the reason the Kill Feed is in DayZ other than it allows players to know if and when the guy they shot, died, and for bragging rights. And the latter is one of the biggest reasons why there is so much KoS. People want everyone else on the server to know they killed poor Bob because they think the more that people see that, the more popular they will become on the server.

 

^ Yeah, I know. Fucking stupid, huh? Some people will do whatever it takes to get noticed. It's the "Hey, look at me! I am special and cooler than you!" mentality that a lot of people have. Especially over the internet and gaming.

 

Anyway, my vote goes to no Kill Feed. If I don't see it happen, I don't give a shit.

I hate the kill feed.. Nametags should also be completely gone. Not even in the game script, nothing.

I agree with no kill feed. It breaks the immersion to see a message that says "Bob was killed by (weapon/zombie)" instead of investigating what happened yourself..

 

I think this is the reason why you are able to detect where exactly where wounds come from around body parts to distinguish easier on what happened to that person when you encounter it and without having context to say someone has died is like watching the news about a murder.
