Unique Death Message for Each Turret


Recommended Posts

This is a simple suggestion, and I couldn't find anything similar; but there may be somewhere.

When a tank is destroyed, on the top-right of the interface it shows it to all battle participants. There are two types of messages:

Player123 destroyed Player321

or

Player789 self-destructed.

I suggest that these messages are unique not only for each turret, but also each type of death, examples:

 

Firebird: Player123 burned Player321

Railgun: Player123 pierced Player321

Falling off the map: Player123 fell off the map.

Vulcan self-damage: Player123 overheated.

Thunder self-splash: Player123 was struck by his own thunder.

 

There's many types of deaths, including all 11 turrets, 3 of them able to kill themselves, falling off the map, being killed by mines, and maybe a few more I missed adding up to over 16. If it won't be in Tanki Online, I at least hope to see it in Tanki X.

Tell me what you think!

Alright, thanks for the positive feedback! 

This will be the spreadsheet with ideas for the different messages, updated every time I see a better one:

 

Turret kills:

Firebird: "burned"

Freeze: "froze"

Isida: "leeched"

Hammer: "hammered"

Twins: "melted"

Ricochet: "juggled balls at"

Smoky: ???

Vulcan: "minigunned"

Thunder: "struck"

Railgun: "drilled holes in"

Shaft: "sniped"

 

Turret-related self-destructions:

Ricochet: "failed at juggling"

Vulcan: "overheated"

Thunder: "was struck by his own thunder"

 

Other deaths:

Leaving the map: "tried to flee the battlefield" (something related to jailbreak maybe?)

Mine: "took a false step" (how will this incorporate the one who planted the mine?)

Suicide (Del key): "took his own life"

 

Try to avoid using the turret name in the death message, as I failed to do in freeze and hammer.

I got a better idea...

Whenever someone kills somebody... instead of 'destroyed' a symbol of the turret should come...

 

 

 

P.S - Okay, I'll admit it.....I stole this idea from CounterStrike..:P

I don't like the symbol nor animation idea, and Helindu_2014 I'd like to avoid the turret names, to be creative.

I love P-Shooter's suggestion for a mine, but the thunder self-destruct isn't as clear, we also want it to be obvious yet creative.

Self-damage. When an enemy is nose-to-nose right with you (or you are aiming at a wall near you), it's like looking down the barrel of your own gun - just pull the trigger and see what happens. Thunder users would know. :)

All turrets have barrels.

We want to make it clear which turret makes the kill (or self-destruction) and avoid using metaphors and idioms.

Ricochet: Juggled balls - Penguin40 juggled balls at TestPlayer1. 

 

Mine: Blew up - Penguin40 blew up TestPlayer1

 

:lol:

 

And Thunder self-destruction: Splashed himself - Penguin40 splashed himself
