Title: More detailed landing message
Post by: helkos on September 26, 2005, 12:26:25 AM

Maybe take out some of the extra chunk(add?) and make it something like,

[Landed] (plane) K: A: Hit: Rearm:

[Landed] helkos(F6F) K: 2 A: 1 Hit: 8% Rearm: 1

or something like that

:D

EDIT: posted before done :)

With my hit% I'd always be too embarrassed to land. :mad:

Not that I manage to land anything in general. :D

Less is more IMO I dont think I really need to know some one elses hit %'s and rearm info.............I dont even want to know their squadron name.............


I would like to add the threshold of 2 (or 3?)perks earned. (You need 2 perks and 2 kills to get a system kill report)

I think I would like  just

{name} returned {#}kills in a {ride type}

uber ac would then require more kills to get a report............

outnumbered sides with higher perk multipliers get more reports.............

Would promote more use of less uber ac IMO

I enjoyed the instant kill messages in WB. You could follow people racking up kills and see even who they killed.

Would reveal vulchers too since they'd repeatedly kill the same playerid.

Was fun to taunt people on ch1 and then have their death displayed on screen. :D

What about 2 kind of messages ?
One for the arena like the current one.

And another configurable for the player only

At least fix the cutoff of squad names or give them a ticker... the way it cutoffs now makes it feel really unpolished like a beta test or something. like

helkos landed 3 victories in a p51-d of [EST]

where EST would be a squad named example squad ticker.
