Death Indicator

Recommended Posts

When someone dies gets murdered or eaten ect, it shows in writing at the bottom left the player name, and that he has been killed...

i.e ''Susscon was killed''

me and a few mates were thinking if it actually showed the writing as a color as a cause of death, or even state how they died..

example:

''Susscon was eaten alive''

''Susscon was murdered''

''Susscon has Drowned''

a few of us think it will be nice to be notified that the ''murdering swine that might have killed you''

and showed his name, stating the f****r is being eaten alive! :thumbsup: :D

i say this because we let a few guys tag along with us for over 2 hours, helping them gain weapons, food, drink, ammo... when we got busy to build a fire to cook some fresh steak for us all, they shot us, looted us, and took everything!

THE MAN HUNT WAS ON!

chances of meeting them again were slim, but we noticed 2 of them got killed as there names appeared at the bottom, and it just got us wondering HOW they actually died.... were they shot? eaten? or betrayed?

''personally i hope they were betrayed, murdered and looted just like they done to us to show them how sick it is to kill and rob someone that has helped a fellow survivor who had nothing until they met us''

I think, "[...] was killed." adds a sense of the unknown. You know someone died, but you don't know how. Sometimes I hear gunfire and then see, "KittyLover123 was killed" and wonder if that person died to the gunfire, or was the one firing. Then I find their dead body at the back of a building, with zombies on the roof and realize that their death wasn't that grand...

yeh u have a good point there Zero...

at the time we were hunting these guys down after what they did, and we were having a debate ''guessing'' how they died... one of us hoped they got eaten alive, tbh i hope they got betrayed, shot and looted just like they done to us so they can see how annoying it is for that to happen to them. HA lol

either way i thought it would be interesting to see other players views on the subject to have insight on how an enemy, or even a friend has died.
