20070930 Firearm Flavour Text

Officer 123satsitx 18:49, 30 September 2007 (BST)

Suggestion type
Flavour Text

Suggestion scope
Anyone who gets shot while logged out.

Suggestion description
You know whenever you log in, and someone has shot you, you get the message "Random_User shot you with a pistol for 5 damage...and again...and again...and again, until you really get bored of the same message? Well here's the solution.

Whenever someone gets shot more than three times, the message displayed would change to "Random_User shot you with a hail of (#)bullets. For example, AZombie is shot by Random_User's pistol 5 times. The message displayed would be "Random_User shot you with his pistol 5 times in a hail of bullets!", or "Random_User shot you with a hail of 5 bullets from his pistol."

Also: Other attacks could be included too! For Example: "Random_User hit you witha flurry of punches for a total of 8 damage!", or "Random_User hacked at you with his axe like a lumberjack for a total of 21 damage."

Edit: This could be a toggle, so keep your voice down, Karek.

  2. Keep - Makes sense, and, as a purely cosmetic change, will not effect the game balance in any way. --Saluton 19:04, 30 September 2007 (BST)
  3. Keep- nice--Dragon fang 19:56, 30 September 2007 (BST)

  13. Keep - user voted keep on this suggestion... and again... and again... and again --~~~~ [talk] 21:40, 30 September 2007 (BST)
  14. Keep Justify flavor text? It's either looks pretty or looks ugly. Keep implies the former. --Wooty 21:54, 30 September 2007 (BST)}}
  15. keep - as with someone above doc crook 23:10, 30 September 2007 (BST)

  18. Keep - Boffo, good one. I'd add a toggle, though, so karek can be happy too. (You know, there's been a spate of good suggestions lately. It's kind of weird.)--Jiangyingzi 01:53, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  19. Keep - Nice flavour. --Pgunn 01:56, 1 October 2007 (BST)

  21. Keep - Yay for flavor. --Private Mark 04:26, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  22. Keep - Flavour makes the world go 'round. And in response to Karek below in the kill section: Maybe make it a toggle option like Radio messages, flares and such things. --the one, the only, sushiknight (talk contribs HARD E.N.D.) 04:47, 1 October 2007 (BST)

  27. Keep --Karloth Vois RR 16:05, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  28. Keep - Heck, I'd like to be able to see who took a potshot at me and missed too - so I can ridicule the guy later for his poor aim.--Actingupagain 20:32, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  29. Keep -- Less repetition is good. I say go with toggle to make everyone happy. --MrCoolantSpray 14:35, 2 October 2007 (BST)

Kill Votes

  1. Kill - I like being able to see each instance.--Karekmaps?! 00:43, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  2. Kill - as Karek and Midianian --Pavluk A! E! 09:34, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  3. Kill - This really only substitutes the NAME shot you for 5 damage, and again, and again with NAME shot you with a hail of n bullets from his pistol. It's still as boring. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 09:38, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  4. Kill - Karek hit it on the nose.-- dǝǝɥs ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 11:13, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  5. Above. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ #nerftemplatedsigs 11:15, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  6. Kill - As boring as before. --Abi79 AB 12:50, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  7. Kill - Combo breaker!!! It's the same thing, just with a few words changed. No more boring, nor exciting, than what currently exists. --Ryiis 15:06, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  8. As above.--ShadowScope 17:32, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  9. BORING! No. It's still the same, and as Karek. Glenstone 21:44, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  10. Ehh... -"RandomUser shot you with a 'hail' of 4 bullets!" No. --AlexanderRM 23:31, 1 October 2007 (BST)
  11. Kill - There can be good reasons for seeing how many times someone attacked you, even if it's not often... So I don't want that ability gone. Meanwhile, the current system doesn't harm anyone. --WanYao 13:42, 3 October 2007 (BST)
    Kill - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING! Sockem 04:45, 15 October 2007 (BST) Vote past deadline
