XGankerX
CorpseSexxor
PPUButtplug

We here at Tangent Forensics regret the unfortunate outcome of your recent encounter, and hope the above information will come useful in exacting retribution against any and all guilty parties.

mail includes the name of anyone who dealt damage 5 minutes prior to death. fits perfectly with RP - pro have access to all runner genetic records from MC5 via CityAdmin, and anti have stolen copies). vote 5 and sign please.

Wouldnt this be quite tricky to implement?

Cool idea though.

[Cerbious]

actully a very good idea.. always a time when killed from behind when lvling or what not and didnt get chance to see name as to busy trying to save ur ass.

like a couple weeks ago my apu got jumped whilst half-buffed and half health in chaos cave, i lost my 2 slott ultimaed fully artifact 1 slot free holy thunderstorm to those bastards and i will never find out who to seek my revenge.

other games use this sort of thing, how hard would it be to impliment?

[Jake Cutter]

There might be a way to track who killed who...after all, people take FS and SL hits for it.

I like the idea.

Regards,
Jake Cutter

a) there's not enought Tangent Investigators to investigate all my deaths
b) plasma has no name written on it
c) more mailspam & serverload/lag
d) this doesnt improve combat - it improves mailspam, serverload/lag and "DIRECT>wh1n3"

.. did I mention I didnt vote 5 stars?
(no personal offense - I support every1 who contributes -honest- suggestions... I dont agree with all of them tho' )

[Kozmos]

No.

Theres a local list, if you dont have the ability to read the names from that before you die, you really need to have another look at your con setup

[Asurmen Spec Op]

Give para and DB a SL hit, thats better

[Heavyporker]

My gosh, I'm blinded by Kozmo's brilliance!

Never mind that there are actually weapons from which people could kill other people at range! Everyone just does it up close and personal!

[unreal]

No.

Server/client lag can be an issue there. Surely by now you've seen people either run past you or shoot you from local range and not appear on the local list until several seconds later. Not to mention you could get killed from someone sniping you or having a monk holy lightning you with that spells _very_ long range.

I think this would be tricky to implement if you want to get detailed data (ie, amounts of damage being done, runner details and whatnot), and if detailed data is what would be preferred (and usually is), I don't think the mail side of things is the way to go.

Edit: I think some similair thread has been started with a similair subject.

[Spoon]

True, but you can't see your local list when your droning....

[Riddle]

I would suggest that it be a screen prompt after genrep on Death.

Simple, less lag, and no mail spam.

"you were killed by XXX" you nib

Seriously i have been killed by the odd sniper i would like to track down!

[Bugs Gunny]

Hey, when i kill someone at range with my xbow i want to remain anonymous.... euh... well... nevermind......

[retr0n]

Ages ago, people asked for KK to track who did damage first etc, so that if an
allied ganker attacks you, you can defend yourself without taking an SL hit, this
is the same thing it's just the end result that's different, but you still need to
track who did damage etc...

Would be cool, exept for the mail thingy, make it appear in a window or something,
but not the mailbox. But it's not going to happend.

Theres been instances where my local list hasnt updated for like 10 minutes, so i
could be running round in an OP full of people with the list of people in Tech Haven still there.

Heh, i've got the best ooc screenshot ever for you! Gotta get it online when i'm back home.

On topic: Since i got that shit connection i get that alot too. Peoples namers showing up wrong or not at all or they just stay in local after they're gone already.
