Starkey 5 Posted August 13, 2012 Would be kind of nice to be wandering through DayZ and be informed of how players were getting killed, instead of the fact that someone had just died.Player was mauled to death by Jamie HynemanPlayer was hit in the head from 600mPlayer was crushed below a bus... would be more entertaining than ...Player was killedPlayer was killedPlayer was killedThoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This keeps in line with the current mechanics of the kill reporting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatfieldcw 184 Posted August 14, 2012 +1 for DayZ announcer.Death messages should not give intel. Their very existence is a little offensive to me, but very few servers turn them off. You find out that somebody is dead by finding their body. If you want to know how they died, you should examine the corpse, although that doesn't currently work. I personally would like a whole forensic report in there. "This is Beez. He has been dead for about 12 hours. His body shows scratches and bite marks. His leg is broken. He apparently died of blood loss." Or, "This is Beez. He has been dead less than a minute. His head bears a large bullet hole. He was obviously killed by a gunshot to the head. You should not be kneeling right here." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted August 14, 2012 Yeah personally i was for removing them entirely, keeps you guessing if the guy you shot is really dead or just laying still. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
