Disable kills landed messages in the DA

Might make the DA lake about fun furballing again.

I could care less if there was no ranging or kill message in the DA and I fly there only for fights so you have my vote there. The one thing you may or may not over looked is that i don't think HTC wants to lose any paying customers over it and that's what might happen to the ego driving score guys in the DA. But if it stays the same as it is now he will not lose paying customers and just have forums like this with some rants lol.

The ONLY thing I can say against this idea is that there is one use for this message.  Our squad goes to the DA occasionally and has competitions where we separate into two groups and fight each other.  We typically keep score using the kills landed message.  So for example we will fight a four on four until one side gets 12 kills total...then switch planes and reset.  We use it for wingman training and SA training in furballs.  It's another way to train vs just dueling 1 v 1 as that sorta ignores the importance of SA. 

That said.....I can think of many many other reasons to +1 the idea.  We can come up with another way to keep track of kills.

Unfortunately I'm not sure changing the game will do much to change the attitude (and flying habits) of the guys targeted by this change....worth a try though.

Can't hurt.  Might help.

I think it's more about getting the arena set as it should be to promoting the dueling/furballing it's built for rather than worrying about trying to control a certain group of people.

This might be the secret to emptying out the lake unless HiTech likes the foot traffic.

BUT....but....It shows how awsome I am when I land my 2 tphy hoing  killz

Is that observation not equally pertinent in the MA, where there are no shortage of players doing precisely that? I say disable kill messages wholesale

No way it would empty the lake, or the MA. What it may do is alter gameplay to reduce some of the less gamey tactics ( for less gamey, read "realistic when your skin is on the line").

I had a day off yesterday and spent it having great times in the DA and WW1 arena.

Seriously good fights with Shakey, 50calmg, Maxous, Oddsocks.
No worried about score and most of the guys bailing after winning fights to save time re upping.
So for a good many, removal of namrs in lights, would make little impact

It's hilarious how the majority of posters in here are MA players who MUST be terrified that their glory might be reduced and thus want to make sure no one else has any. INHO if you're not a DA regular your opinions is moot.

pssshhh, dude..I just landed 3 in my Chog.. 2 were proxies but I did HO the third one down

No you didn't. Joach1m found you, and you died. Sorry.

The DA is not an MA and shouldn't be treated such. If your motivation for flying is wtg's, score, and rank, fly any of the MA's. You'll even compete with more than a handful of people. The DA is for certain aspects of the game and the arena should be setup to promote those aspects.

The MA is just where Hoers, picker and runners go to get their atta boys, then I guess.....
