GonkH8er Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Alright, in the latest video, we see in the garden ruins MP map that when someone is killed with the lightsaber, it says for example (cant read it properly) Cannon fodder was sabered by Tavien it seems to be "sabered" all 3 times we see that happen. What kind of Frag or death notification would you like? I think sabered is fine for sabers, but some variety would be nice too. And then there's other weapons. Are you hoping to see comical ones like "wardz was leeted by Vagabond's bryar", "Kurgan discovered Jedi cant fly" and "Chang Khan turned Dsbr_1337 into a cute little pile of ash"? or are you hoping for more serious ones like "Aristotle killed Gary Gaber with the repeater"? Just basically telling who and with what. personally, I'd prefer more comical ones, and lot's of them. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SWS]Strider Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 My guess is they will be like EF. Which some of them I found semi-comical. I thought Phaser Burns was kind of funny. I don' t think it supposed ot be but it was. I personally love the funny ones such as "Strider was welded to the floor". I like the comments that aren't ROFL funny but just the ones that make you snicker. Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broode Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I prefer a large variety of comical ones, like "Saber Guy cut Broode into chop suey" and stuff. I also like Half-Life's way, in the top right corner: Saber Guy Broode Ill only prefer the comical messages if they dont get in the way of chat, like other games.

Guest Obi Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 <font color=cbcbff> Funny and serious. For example, before I had spent 5 years playing the game, I thought that "has become one with the force." was absolutely hilarious. Perhaps they could use more star wars plays on words to come up with some more serious but comical frag notifications. I think it would draw you away from the enviroment of the game if you saw "JO_ObiWan discovered that white Jedi can't jump." or something like that. It would be funnier to read things like: Tog_Hax0r_WD is not a jedi yet would be a cool one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I want comical ones, but ones that don't detract from the SW atmosphere. IE no "leeted" or "chop suey" or stuff like that. I loved the Jedi Knight ones... RedwingGreen7 has become one with the Force. Dan-Re Seyah has become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. etc. The play on words thing was really funny; but it'd make you laugh when you wanted to, but it didn't stick out in such a way that it would annoy you when things got intense. My request is that they keep JK style frag announcements but MORE of them. I want variety here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterJedi Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I -really- want serious ones. Comical is not for me. It's all Jar-Jar all over again. Serious ones get my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Just think. Out there... Somewhere.. People are playing JKII Outcast Mulitplayer Right Now. Likely over the Internet too. Cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted February 16, 2002 Author Share Posted February 16, 2002 I imagine nearly all of the games are over LAN, not internet at the moment. The only net ones theyde be doing are to test the net code for bugs. That, and having team games. Raven vs LEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Hmm.. here's an idea.. how about an optional announcer (a la Quake3/UT)? Maybe get James Earl Jones to do the voice overs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter545 Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I would prefer Half-Life's way as Broode said - much more readable. In JKI you didnt have time to read all the messages about kills and self-kills. In HL it is very easy to see who has been killed. Just my thoughts..

TUS_Tomcat Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 How about: Kurgan unlearned what he had learned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I'd go for a mix of humourous and serious...with relevance to SW, as stated above. An announcer might be fun too, either counting down frags...or UT style, telling you who is dominating, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krak3n Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 well to be hopnest i'm not that bothered, and sabered don't sound too bad. "PlayName played catch with themself" is quite funny in Medal of Honor : Allied Assult when ppl get fragged by their own grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonepadawan Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 *name* has met their destiny. That sounds ok. Only *Killers name* is so acurate against *dead blokes name* (when killed with a stormtrooper rifle) *Killers name* finds *Dead blokes name* lack of faith disturbing (When choked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Killed by another: *Moses would not defer, so CaptainRAVE killed him *Moses smashed Nemios into who knows what *Moses showed GonkH8er the true power of the Force *[sWS]Strider frightened Moses with his sorcerer's way Suicides: *Moses was a Jedi like his father before him *Moses sees a city in the clouds Who wins (if it's to a certain amount of frags/timed/CTF) *TUS_Tomcat is now the ultimate power in the universe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I'd like funny ones and some serious. Most should be Star Wars related, but if a couple weren't that'd be ok. Somewhere, a Raven guy is writing all of these down to use:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krayt Tion Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 The 'frag notification' of JK was just one of those little touches that made the game a classic. All death notfications were given from a believer in the force's perspective, when you think about it. That was fine by me, but this time around maybe we can have some other distinctive non-jedi elements of the Star Wars ethos apparent in death. That's the key, though- incorporating notable parts of the SW ethos into the death system of the mp game is where it's at. I'm all for healthy doses of Teh Funny too, so long as it is Teh SW Funny.

Belgirion Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Id rather have comical ones like "Belgirion's last thought "Nnoooooo!" "Belgirion, throw the grenade, not the pin!" "Belgirion discovered that falling hurts" and "Belgirion reduced Bill to atoms" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazilla Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I think that with LucasArts' legacy with humor games, they'll put in some really nice ones. And strider, I also liked the phaser burns and welded ones. I don't want outright ROFL funny, and I don't want serious, and I DEFINITELY don't want Jar-Jar humor. But, nice, sarcastic punchlines are really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 We should be able to write our own custom death messages, if an SDK is released. Possibly even without an SDK. May be a simple edit to an existing text file database of death messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmgewehr Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 It's really easy to edit them in Medal of Honor, I wouldn't think JK II would be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
