A Tiny Suggestion: Kill Assists by paulna January 26, 2017 at 8:01 PM UTC
I'm not 100% positive where to make this thread so I'm putting it on "Off Topic"This is a small suggestion having to do with kills and credits, as I've played Avicus throughout the years, pvping has always been fun, however trying to get a kill and then having it stolen by someone isn't very fun :( so here's my small suggestion... Also, I dont know if this has been suggested or talked about before so please let me know if it's been said.
Suggestion: Add " kill assists"
I'm sure it's self explanatory but here's a quick run down
Whenever you hit a player, but aren't the one that kills them, there should be an "Assist", so you, and anyone else that helped kill the player can get (half?) credits for helping kill the enemy.
Also, If you hit a player but after a certain amount of time (s)he doesn't die, the assist goes away so you don't get credits for helping to kill them, that way no one taps every single enemy and just waits for other people to kill them.Let me know what you guys think, opinions are welcomed!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what else to say about it, it's pretty simple to understand, this just helps even out fights and stuff IMO...
PS, Maybe the assists don't affect K/D stats??

It could work, if they made it so you get like 1 credit when you deal 33% or less of the damage done, or you get 2 credits for dealing 34%-66% of the damage done. This could help with killstealing and leeching off of people :plactify January 26, 2017 at 9:01 PM UTC
+1Great idea, especially for kill steals :p

+1 This would be great!Zintenka January 26, 2017 at 9:01 PM UTC
Awesome suggestion! I believe that credit distribution should be based off of who did the most damage.If Player A did 85% of the damage then he gets the most of the credits and the person who helped gets less even though they did the last hit.
If Player A and Player B did approximately an equal amount of damage then they both get the kill or an assist even though either one may have actually did the last hit. (If a length of time has passed then whoever killed the player gets the kill instead)
I also believe that many factors should come into play as well:
- Alpha: Person who hit the victim first. 10% of the credit distribution.
- DPS: Person who damaged the player most often. 30% of the credit distribution.
- Damage: Person who did the most damage. 60% 0f the credit distribution.
- Environmental: Whether shot in the void, exploded by TNT or was knocked off a high place. Just an addition factor. If added, it can account for 40% of the credit distribution and Damage accounts for 30%

Has been suggested beforeIt's too unnecessarily complicated for what it does, not worth the time tbh

It has been suggested before and it is quite an awesome proposal but it will unlikely happen. It would cause too much stress on the server. Just imagine tracking every single hit on the server, and the many different players - especially with the different conditions (see Zintenka's post)paulna January 27, 2017 at 4:01 AM UTC

Keeping track of time and damage tags to this extent would probably be a bit stressful and complicated...
Many games do this to avoid kill thieves. .

But it can be done though and can potentially increase credit income as well as distribute it fairly.

can we have a system that you don't have to be a mathmagician to understand?
EDIT: In response to your other comment, there's no reason to be sarcastic when no one here is fighting. I'm not gonna take a bite of your bait so you better pack up and go home before you get eaten by a shark.

It's easy to understand the percentages and the math is up to the developers, my friend.

also if there are any sharks comma bring it
kycrafft January 27, 2017 at 7:01 AM UTC
so in this situation comma are you saying that i'm using myself as bait comma because otherwise how the hell would i get eaten by a shark question mark
also if there are any sharks comma bring it

Refer to Joel.This was asked a year ago and a dev explained the database present records every kill, imagine how much stress it would add on top counting every single hit.
It's a great suggestion, just not feasible currently.

+1 but I'm pretty sure that it's not going to happen since it's a rlly hard thing to do and the server ( I think ) I would lag so idk about this sugg but I like it ^^Lasuz January 27, 2017 at 9:01 PM UTC
