<Name> killed by <Name>

[SpardisJX 27]

If you're dumb enough to sport clan tags in your name on the game, then you deserve whatever cruel fate awaits you.  To me, it just makes you more of a target to other players.

 

In any case, like most of the people on here, I wouldn't want to see this on the chat window.  There's already enough annoying messages there regarding how hungry, thirsty, and wet I am.

 

However, like another person already alluded to on here, I might be open to seeing a "You were killed by <NAME>"  message below the "You Are Dead" text after you've already met your demise.  However, that's all the information I would want to see, anything else and it would be too compromising.

No thankyou OP. Was the most irritating shite in the mod, maybe give you stats when you die, but none of this kill counter crap. 

 

It gives away too much information, eg whether your kill was a clanmember, and whether your kill is actually killed. 

 

Takes away a lot of the immersion and therefore fun. 

[charliepow 100]

Yes for the sake of Alpha testing (knowing why you suddenly died, for example random fall damage glitches)

 

No once the game is finished.

 

EDIT: I'm talking about on the "You are dead" screen, not some stupid feed in text.

There are many, MANY reasons this wouldn't work. Here's one:

I play with a clan. We have clan tags. Say I kill a member of a group, the rest of his group see that I have clan tags. They look on the player list, see that there are 3 other people with those tags. Boom, they now know exactly how many enemies they're dealing with. Works the other way too, we would see the tags (if any) that the guy we killed has.

That's why we've removed any tags, do you know that now if you check the heart pulse your name will be displayed?

Someone hit me and i fall uncons. Come near my body and check pulse: (Jks) Alex has weak pulse.. press P.. oh there are others 4 (jks) on this server.. cool.. -_-'

Btw IRL no one will tell at your soul what has killed you so... No

If it shows everyone on the server who killed who, they would most likely see that person as a threat even it was self defense so if that same person comes across someone and says friendly that person will shoot him anyways so I and most others are going to go with No.

Dayzguy has been died

 

dat english doe.

and no.

[valtsuh 68]

There should be a 10 seconds replay that shows you how you got killed...like CoD.

then you could tell your friend how he died

[akafugitive 244]

Main stream shooters hold your hand too much, one of the reasons I like DayZ is you have to be mindful of your shots and make decisions on whether to continue pressure, observe for movement or displace and check for a body.

I do support better blood spray and patterns that help identify lethality of shots and blood trailing to track a wounded target. I discuss this in my Catastrophic Damage section of my top linked thread in my sig

The reason I will say yes to this, is because, the other day, I was at full health, zombie charged me once, and I got the "you are dead".

Now I was on the outskirts of a larger coast city, so I'm not sure whether I was killed by a player or not, I did not hear a gunshot. If I was killed by a zombie, it would have definetly been a glitch, which I could report to devs, to fix it. Since I have no idea I can't do anything about it.

The no reason would be realism, so maybe just have, " killed by zombie" and " killed by player".

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

You all say "No" but you don't come up

with an idea of how to fight the hacker threat.

So i ask you,if hackers are ingame,how the hell are

we suppposed to deal with them if we don't know their names?

Crying about "Mah imerzion" every time and not coming up for a way

to deal with a very large problem in the game,is not helping anyone.

Kill a guy - he tells his friend from where i shoot him.. ? what? NO

[youngbuck (DayZ) 11]

Im just wondering if ppl think about their issues before posting them here ... *slaparound*

so many reasons why this shouldn't be added ...

[Fry76 23]

Absolutely NO for names. Take away those bandage names and force feeding names away too. Cause you have ability to chat or tell your name and that should be only way to give name away.

Please, add this easy thing to Dayz SA, like the mod. When someone kills you.

 

<name> killed by <name>

for example:

Dayzguy killed by Zombie

Dayzguy has been died

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Why add this??

 

Easy, when someone whit hacks kill you, you can know his name, and you can report him.

Please Rocket, Dean Hall, or who read this, help us (the comunity) to end whit this HACKERs. Heal us!!!

 

Thanks a lot for read!. see u.

YES ! We should add it. It's a good idea and all the people who say no just don't want the game to get better...

What will we do about the hackers then guys?

If everyone remains anonymous,there is no way to

find and punish hacking players.

First the developers should work on an anti-cheating system that is good enough to prevent people from hacking. Then if everything fails we should consider other options.

[carbine781 (DayZ) 131]

I do not agree with you here.

First of all, I'm pretty sure whoever owns the server gets a log of deaths, etc, and could notice any suspicious activity.

 

Also, allowing the entire server to know when somebody has gone on a 'kill streak' or when somebody has died is unfair to the player at times.

They used the same excuse to use this in the mod to "combat hacking" tell me how well did it work?

No I think the standalone has much better strategies for combating hacking. I play on full servers and have yet to be teleported into the Thunder dome, see parachuting cows or people spawning in jets

Adding this so people can see when to leave the server based on hacking is like sticking a bandaid on a sucking chest wound. The server architecture is the answer to combating hacking, hence why the standalone developed it and is not using mod style early warning systems. If you have ever looked at BEC logs you would know the death messages are also not needed, just an active admin, hacker won't be dealt with one unless they are watching even with death messages

I don't see how knowing anyone's name is going to lead to stopping hackers.  Anyone can type in any name they want, so how are you going to ban?

[Drunken Knife 17]

All those bandits saying no -.-

 

This IS a good idea, no matter what the other guys say.

BUT, and thats the big but, don't make it a public message, but more like a private message like when you have hunger. This wouldn't effect the killer, because as long as there is no global chat he can't give away his killers name to all players on the server. It would be a pain to actually tell everybody, unless there is a forum where all players are registered and active.

And it isn't to blame the bandits, it is to blame the cheaters. How can you determine a name on a server? A) he tells you, B) you check him after he is dead. C) dunno if there is a third method

Means, if a cheater is there, it is unlikely that he will be killed, so it is up to impossible to know who the cheater is.

 

Also, why not make it like the Titanfall devs? If there is a cheater in the game, and they know for sure that he cheats, he isn't able to connect to normal servers any more. He will only be able to join servers with other cheaters. This isn't a bad idea. They can continue cheating and play like they want, but the majority of the servers is clean of them.

[Damnyourdeadman 1045]

Logically by the time the game releases,the steam name will be the same with the ingame name.

If not,it should.Because then there will be absolutely no way to do anything (not even from an admin point of view).

When the game first came out, it was your steam name that showed up in-game.  Then they changed it so that you can type in any name.

 

I think the developers have made it clear they want names to be changed.  So, knowing names doesn't even matter.

No.... NO.... and NO!

 

This isn't call of duty, and there's no reason to know who killed you in the game. This will just start bullshit wars, more admin abuse, and general retaliation stupidities.

 

NO!

[ld-airgrafix 403]

How about for realism purpose, we all cary personal id. Could be attached to our inventory. In real life we all carry some form of id, drivers licence etc. So when being held up or dead, other players can see our name. Also you shouldnt be able to change your name at start screen
