Remove Murder Count Debug Monitor

[kwhy (DayZ) 6]

Even though this is an Alpha I don't feel like the the Murder Count Tally in the corner is needed. I doubt that anyone really is using this to debug the game versus just using it as an easy CONFIRMED kill indicator *so now we can move on*.

I don't really see its purpose since the boards don't reflect a lot of questioning how Arma 2's game engine deals bullet damage. I'm sure someone will say it is needed for DC, but that is a whole other problem that will eventually probably be delt with by a despawn timer.

Since this game seems to strive for some realism and while some servers set the option to remove kill messages (expert mode) which IMO is the way it should be all around then how about removing the Murder confirmation kill from WITHIN the game or at least make it an option?

The point I'm trying to hit on here is that your not magically going to know if you killed someone from a shot especially from a long distance every time. There should always be that uncertainty that the player might still be alive or you missed especially if your not equipped with a scope or binoculars and didn't confirm an exact hit to the head or body ect.

I've seen enough videos online now that show this is being used as crutch especially with squads trying to gun down someone from a long range. Once they confirm the kill by the arcadey count message or server message then they will move up. It shouldn't be that easy, there is always that chance that maybe the player is still alive or you missed so you need to keep your guard up and confirm the kills yourself by either moving to the body or seeing blood pouring from the poor sobs head.

I'm sure you guys striving for kill counts will be able to go online at some time and see these stats. WW2online (Battleground Europe) does this and works brilliantly for that game and if you think this game is brutal try playing that sometime especially before they had any mobile spawn points.

if anything I think it should be turned off in Expert or at least made an option for servers to choose.

I normaly use my murder/bandit killed indicator to see if I killed him or not.

but I also would like to see it removed, its like most games its just fun to have so you can see how many kills you have.
