Question About Scoreboard/death Announcments

NecromanZer · May 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">^^</div> Since Flayra has decided (and in great wisdom I might add) to take out the scoreboard from the aliens in 1.1...., maybe the death announcments could be tweaked?

Instead of saying "NSPLayer lmg NSPlayer(1)"

it could say "Marine HMG <Aliens name>
"Alien Chomp <Marines name>

If you get what im saying, it would prevent this situation - lerk is raining down spores and skulks are chomping madly, take the lvl1 armor marine to 12 health and the lerk gets him

<skulk> "OMG U KILL STEALER"

I think you worry too much. Being able to see who kills who has never been a problem. In fact its nice to know when you actually killed something or not, or when someone kills an onos. How else will you know who to patt on the back and say good job to.

People need to realise it is a team game, and who cares who kills the marine who is shooting the hive with his HMG, as long as he dies.

CEldin · May 2003

yes

Sirus · May 2003

Sometimes its important to be able to look up and see if you killed the player, especially in dark areas.

If that ever was implemented I'm sure multiple times players would think they killed a marine, meanwhile another player did, just making mass confusion.

Actually i and many others use the scoreboard to check up on how the team is doing when ur kharra, i usually do it when i died n waiting to spawn back in, also ppl getting into clans is gonna be a big problem with alot of complaints, not saying im in or want to be in a clan jsut saying ur gonna get alot of emails on complaining bout the scoreboards, also eople use the scoreboard to check on stats, not just to see server timelimit and name <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> i really think takin out the scoreboards would benifiet teamowrk not whoring but if your trying to do it to stop hackers i dont think its gonna help much, if anything till make the game seem, more boring as time goes on and u check page and all u see is names n a big blank space between kharra and marines <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

On a bit of a side note, there is a new icon for Electrified deaths. Just FYI

No, overall resources for the team are displayed. There is also a timer displayed. No scores in this version anyway..

Nah, the death announcements are beneficial to the game. In organized games, you know who is where. If suddenly they die, you can react accordingly and go to their destination to reimburse their defenses etc or to help back them up.
Plus, there's nothing like getting an hilarious Knife kill to humiliate the alien you just killed <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

it's not working yet but it says they are supposed to.

Lt_Hendrickson · May 2003

Have you ever played dod with ff and who killed who turned off. Thats freaking insane. You don't know if the guy died let alone if he were on your team.

It works fine. I remember a scrim in the past where the opposite team had 1200 resouces to our 120.

gesh critical, talk about 1 sided.

Haha, yeah. It was on mineshaft and the marines had just about every node electrified and also with electric tf + turrets. They also had the dual resource node.

I think the marines had 9 nodes to our 1.

NecromanZer · May 2003

Ok, well it seems no-one wants this to happen <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

nevermind, i thought over it again and it kinda sounded stupid

Corrado · May 2003

For me, i like to see my score when I play. Its fun now and again <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

So...would it be possible to see your own scores only? It'd mean that you'd be able to see how well you were doing, but there would be no talk about frags etc as one of the other guys may have been lying :o

Frogg2 · May 2003

sure status still works just wont see deaths.

NightCrawlerz · May 2003

LOL YOU WANT TO ADD ATMOSPHERE THEN REMOVE KILL NOTIFICATIOSN ALL TOGETHER!!!!

ME: c'mon we need to take waste!
other marine: alright
ME: now be carfull
other marine: (bite) X(
ME: WTH!! noob wer........ (bite) X(

silence claoking... and no kill notifications OMG PWN

Skillzilla1 · May 2003

As long as you still see if you're *DEAD* or if you're going to *REIN* and I'll be fine <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Iced_Eagle · May 2003

i love seeing my scores. so if they takin them away completely wouldnt it be better just for them to show up for the alien team?<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'> i like that idea. but "status" is fine too i guess....

I can't say I like this one bit. I already had a complaint about the lerk death animation being very not-obvious which often makes me waste rounds on a dead lerk when I should be spending them taking out the skulk thats about to chomp me. Its not that big of a problem because of the death notification at the top right, so leave it the way it is plz.

fear not, he is not kidding

the marines dont have a scorboard anyway (just a list with names and pings and stuff)

Jower · May 2003

Scary how people who haven't played the game find their way here...
And anyone complaining about the removal of scoreboards
It's a teamplay game for crying out loud !

Anyway
Speaking of REIN ( this is off topic but it's short )
Do you still switch who you're observing when you go into REIN ?

Bogglesteinsky · May 2003

cos that was really annoying. it always seemed to happen just when they got into a big fight...
