Irish. 4886 Posted June 23, 2014 Can we elaborate on the death messages? Something a little more descriptive other than "YOU ARE DEAD" would be nice.. Something along the lines of: "YOU ARE DEAD..you have succumbed to your wounds." "..you have been beaten to death." "..you have drowned." "..you have been shot to death." "..you have been killed by a zombie/player." ETC. . . . I think this would greatly improve the ability to catch bugs that kill like collision issues. If the message said, "..you have been crushed/fallen/shot." then we would have the ability to know what happened. I dont really see an issue with telling players what killed them. A simple, "You have been killed by another player" would suffice and has little chance of creating a negative response that would detract from the game itself in my opinion. What do you all think of a more elaborate death message explaining why you died? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frosti 2165 Posted June 23, 2014 Bad idea. You should not know if you got sniped or sneak attacked in melee to tell about it on teamspeak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted June 23, 2014 Bad idea. You should not know if you got sniped or sneak attacked in melee to tell about it on teamspeak. In the end you are already going to tell your friends on TS that you got killed, them knowing how is not really going to change the outcome. We do have ears to hear these things with you know.. right? Like you will hear someone walking around you.. or the shots ring out. Telling your friends really does nothing different unless they are km's away and in a vehicle and can get there in 2 mins or less to get your revenge. Even then, does it really change anything? I know it doesnt because Ive played the mods for years now and my clan has never had an issue with not knowing why we died... with the exception of those WTF moments where you have no idea what just happened. It goes like this. deaddude: "I just got shot." clan: "where?'deaddude: "dunno, but Im in Berezino at the school."clan: "k, we are coming.. Ill get your loot man." Now change got shot for died. Nothing changes the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted June 23, 2014 The game is heavily modifiable so eventually people will have death messages that that meets their desires. We will have those Play 1 is killed by player 2 with m24 @ 923m mods soon enough. I must admit though I miss the dayz mod seeing your body when unconscious pretty hilarious seeing zombies eat you up and or seeing the enemy player come and loot your passed out body. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qww 287 Posted June 23, 2014 im against knowing what killed you unless you were aware of it before you died, while i do see the point you are making about bug detection 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, thats exactly why I brought this up.. to remind the devs that sometimes info is a good thing. Knowing the player names is horrible and the distance even worse because it can literally allow you to pinpoint down where the sniper is quickly.. but at least knowing by seeing your body, or a message stating what killed you is a good idea to deal with the numerous bugs this game has during its development. Its not like we have sidetext to ask people if they killed you or if pulling out your axe on that staircase did in fact kill you. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eleventhavenue 204 Posted June 23, 2014 Yes!We need ´´You have died of dysentery´´ now! And really, it's not more unrealistic than a ´´you are dead´´ in the first place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
