Name in Lights Switch
« on: September 04, 2010, 07:45:49 PM »
My Wish:

For the members of the Aces High community who disdain seeing anyone's name with number of kills landed in the text buffer. A new personal choice option in the clipboard.

{x} Disable kills landed text message.

So they can lead the way to a newer more Nobel Aces High social philosophy.................  :old:

Thank you.

I dont mind the name in lights as much as I do the "You shot down So-n-So" (or visa versa).  I think it should either show "You shot down a Spit16", or maybe even nothing at all!!!  Perhaps if one wants to see if they got the "kill" or not they should have to visually see the plane go "puuf" into the ground or turn into itsy bitsy pieces.

Anything to help make the experience more true to the "simulator" feel I'm game for.   :)

I'm not sure what the request is, but I've always wanted to disable my personal landing messages.

The key from my perspective is not landing at all, or at best in pieces :)

I can understand the "name in lights" thing for the newb. It's a big thrill to finally not only get a couple of kills on the same run, but to survive to land it as well. It's a mark of being "on your way" to being a better player in the game.

Personally I'd rather see who I killed or who killed me on MY front end instead on the world channel, and like Del said, have the ability to turn off my own "landing in lights" would be cool. Being able to turn everyones "landing in lights" wouldn't be cool, because it is another stepping stone for the newbs.

+1 I hate landing kills and having to tell people they were all proxies or less honorable kills.

You can put it on the grass when you land.

If your going to put kills on landing up then start with 1 Kill.  Why does it have to be two?

I've always enjoyed seeing who I was fighting after one of us (usually me) dies. If I had a good fight, and one of us had to run, I'll try to find out who it was on 200.

landing kills and seeing the progress of the war is important.  I see no reason why a player should not be allowed to disable seeing the kills, but its important for others to see it.

why would you not want to show you landed kills anyway. . .
