Death message change

I think that the death message (eg. R0ck3r killed DthStar with melee) should be removed because in DBZ people with scouters never knew if they killed someone,
I think it will make the game more like DBZ.

so you are saying that when you dont use your scouter you can see death messages and with you cant ?
it might be more realistic but... it's a game..

ummmmm.........NO. I could see making some more original and interesting death messages like "xxxx was sent to the next dimension by xxx with melee" but complete removal is just stupid. That would lead to lots of confusion about who killed who.

Besides, you could just check your fragcount if he is dead or not

Heh , his next suggestion is gonna propably be " remove the frag count and tab function "

Warning:warning: for the ev0l thing called spam. Keep it on topic.

the only thing i think is lame is that it also said how he died so wy not make it like "player1 is bin sented to the next dimention by player2" and not the attack after it.
it imbairest you sometimes.

i agree with niobe... you should see who killed who so you can see
1: who killed your buddy
2: if you killed a team mate ( if friendly fire's on )
you only need to see who killed who and not how cause that's not important :]

Or. For certain attacks, like beams, and melee they'll be like this:

• Melee
  1. Player1 was brutally beaten by Player2
  2. Player1 was slapped around by Player2
• Beam Attacks
  
  • Kamehameha
    1. Player1 was turned into molecules by Player2's Kamehameha
    2. Player1 was vaporized by Player2's Kamehameha
    3. Player1 didn't see Player2's Kamehameha
  • Final Flash
    
    1. Player1 aparently didn't see Player2's Final Flash
    2. Player1 was vaporized by Player2's Final Flash
  • Spirit Bomb
    
    1. Player1's spirit has now become part of Player2's Spirit Bomb
    2. Player1 didn't see his spirit join Player2's Spirit Bomb

Just to name a few.

i like Krazy-Killa's idea, its not always the same boring "Player A killed Player B"

I like crazy killas idea. This isn't an important aspect of the game, but it would be a nice little detail to make esf more unique.

I don't care about changing the text printed, but removing it is a bad idea. It'd just create a new level of confusion.

i don't hate krazy's idea but i said : you DON'T need to know how like : player1 is killed by player2 ... that's it... not how-_- that's not important ... imo it's wasting space (not much but...) to put like : player1 was killed by player2's spiritbomb or other attacks.... keep it short like : player1 "is killed by" player2
"or other text" like "is send to other dimension by" but WITHOUT the attack which is used... that's my idea:]

Why the anger? I don't see a problem with making the text longer. You're acting as though it will take up the entire screen, or multiple lines in your console, which it wont. I like the idea of multiple death messages.

i only explained what i mean... not angry... but krazy's idea is good too... hmm... maybe it should give some more fun if you see a different text... but then it should have MUCH more then 3 and maybe different to each model and 6 groups:
1. lasers 2. non-beams (spiritbomb and bigbang ) 3. weak beams 4. strong beams 5. melee 6. blind attacks( solarflare )
and maybe if someone misses with melee you'll see : player1 missed player2 ... player1 is just lil n00b ... or other text and if you killed yourself like : why did you killed yourself? or : do you hate this world that much o_0 ... more ideas

when you kill your self:

-so there is the light
-kamekaze mision completed
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-i just want to catch my beam

killed by non beam attack:
-i just wanna play football by player2
-that sucks by player2
-that's not fair by player2

killed by beam attack:
-die player2, ow that's me
-i just had it in my hand by player2<- when die by beam struggle
-away go's the birdyby player2
-what whas that?by player2

killed by melee:
-you're strong. by player2
-man that speed. by player2
-that what quick by player2
-where is my head, i lost my head. by player2

anything to add

Now those are funny death mesages.

I have a few myself

when you kill your self:

Hmmmm, that wasn't really smart to do.
Hey king yemma, how are things!
What the..............................


when you die by melee:

Ow my butt.
Now my clothes are dirty

maybe there should be an option like : death messages on/off and you have to put text in it by yourself like how you want it
