Doesn't this change encourage tower sitting while they see if the damage from their last sortie results in a kill or two...

Maybe. If you’re gonna sit in the tower waiting on the off chance that someone finishes off what you started, more power to you I guess. I think that would be kinda rare. I’m personally just re-upping or walking to the fridge to get another beverage.

Ha, I think this explains something I've recently noticed.

It used to be if you got in a 1v1 fight and both took damage, but you killed the guy. Then you got picked by someone else while you were low and slow, the picker would get the kill. The guy you killed couldn't get it because he was already dead. Now if the picker comes along and does just a little extra damage but enough to kill you, the dead guy who did more damage gets the kill if he hasn't upped again yet? Am I understanding that right? A dead guy gets the kill?

In real life wouldn't the guy who got the kill get credit for it, not the guy who died already?

I think that's exactly what's happened to me a couple of times in the last few days. Yep a dead guy getting a kill on me after I killed them, seriously..... A dead guy getting a kill?  LOL

Something about this just doesn't feel right. What am I missing here?

i like getting those leftover kills after I die, it happens a lot given how I tend to fly  :aok
then again, I only sit in the tower when I'm trying to find the closest thing resembling a furball  :banana:

Or if you bailed out and lived..

Just land all of your kills and you will not have to worry about it  :cheers:
