I turned kill messages on in the melee arena. They had been turned off do to buffer flooding when we had +400 people in an arena.
My suspension is it will have a significant game play impact.

I think its great but I also feel you can streamline it a bit to be more effecient..
Currently if I make a kill or get killed I get 3 host messages instantly
1) host message OBX shot down saamiam
2) host message You were shot down by obx
3) host message you have been killed
I feel that the first message would be sufficient enough to inform me that I was killed.. as if blowing up and finding myself back inside the tower was not enough of an indicator.. lol
Just one host message seen by all is both informative and suffecient for me.
Just a thought
