Title: Kill message spam
Post by: BuckShot on February 14, 2020, 09:08:04 PM
I wish for the ability to disable ok only the x killed x messages, and make it the way it was before.
I understand the system messages can be disabled or they can be put in another tab but I know I won't use it.

And when you use a second tab, all the system info goes to it, not just kill spam. Please make the kill spam a stand alone option or do away with it.

Amazing that folks want to see they landed kills but not that they died.
This is the way it was for years. HT just turned it back on.

Could care less if anyone sees the kills, the message board is used for MESSAGES! Also info like hanger down, gun down, field captured etc. You either have to miss all the system info or the country messages if you split to a second tab. Again, AN OPTION WOULD SATISFY EVERYONE!!!

This. I can see why the kill messages would be annoying due to the amount of them.

The host supplies all kinds of info.

great, but its not that the host is supplying info, that is good.
its just the info could be presented better.
as it is even if they are separated out to their own window you miss important info because how it scrolls. or one sound failing to stop kills the entire feed.
i feel there is zero reason it cant be its own separate thing from the host messages.

So you know how easy it is to recode the game so that the kill message could be split out. Maybe you dont and its more of a project than you think it is.

I mean sure there could be some technical problem with that. but having done a fair bit of coding myself i am going to go out on a limb and say that is something that hitech could handle.
I would however bet the code is not that rigid, and this is a doable change. i also expect hitech is competent enough to pull it off if it was what he wanted.
I should have clarified though. i meant from a gameplay point of view. (i obviously am not privy to hitech's reasoning) thats my bad.
i feel there is zero reason from a game-play point of view ,that it cant be its own separate thing from the host messages.

Agreed. I don't know the coding required, but obviously the game recognizes it as a separate entity since it can be turned off and on. It makes the message board almost useless. Again, it is not the information in the spam I object to, it is the quantity that overfills the text window. JUST PUT IT AS A CHECK BOX ON THE SETTINGS.

This is one of the most disliked changes implanted in aces high. i think it is even higher on the bad list of changes than the GV dar-bar
On vox this shockingly bad change in the text buffer's function comes up all the time as a compliant.
Angry post about this change may come up in the text buffer but it goes by so fast, you can not read it anyway.
I noticed the few positive comments about this egregious change comes from players who rarely or no longer play, or do not play during prime time.
As so many have said or posted, the text buffer should be used for only useful information.
The spewing crap of who killed who just has no place on the information text buffer.
If it is a desired feature during non-prime time, then give us the option to turn it off.

just about every change is the most disliked change at least that's how the forums read... .
I think it's a good thing. It shows server activity.
