I jsut got shot.. or did I.. or.. WTF is going on? How to tell if you are shot

[Tobias]

I just know things. Leave it at that.

You can toggle most things, for instace, in your chat box you can standardly see outfit chat, squad chat, and say chat. If you are a commander you might also see that chat in there. But now you are going to cap a base with your outfit, so you dont want to see the say chat cause it might be pointless spam and you need to pay attention to your commanders, you can toggle it off. Dont want to know how much you are being hit for? Toggle it off. I am not sure but I think you might be able to sepperate between hittig someone

i.e: YOU hit SmokeJumperPS for 30 Damage with the Bolt driver!

and the other which would be:

BrileyPS Damages YOU for 5 damage with the Beamer!

as in you can toggle if you want to see damage you do as apposed to damage you take. I am also pretty sure that it will not show the ammount of damage your fellow players inflict apon one another, though it will show who killed who with what on the same land mass.

Most chat messages will be toggable though.

I thought I read this somewhere also.

I'm not sure how well being able to see every death on the continent will work though. I know I take pause now if like four guys on my team suddenly come up on my screen as dead in other games. Can you imagine huge battle going on and suddenly thirty names of your teammates fill up the chatbox as being dead?? (say from a galaxy crashing into something) That will seriously screw with your head to know you just lost that many people and are now probably seriously outnumbered.

I hope that the "some one did this ammount of damage to you" message can be turned off just for simple reason i dont want to know whos killed me. I may get angry and go off looking for the person who just killed me rather than fighting as a team.

Anywhich way, once this game comes out, you're all gonna see my johnson.

I'd rather not have who hit me cluttering up that area, sicne it's also where things people are saying go. I don't want to have to scroll up to see what someone just said because I got hit 5 times and it scrolled out.

It's pretty standard in any MMOxxx today to see damage messages and be able to toggle them. I'm sure you can also change their colors, etc. These are not advanced features we're discussing, these are standard things for any MMO game.

So many of the FPS gamer questions could be answered by having them play any MMORPG for a week.

I do not believe the UI is very customizable, though you might be able to edit text color though the client if you know how. I do believe you can move the possistion of the items on the hud though.

Tobias seems to have a reputation for pulling information out of his ass. i hope its toggable because I can see it creating a bit more lag then needed...and i need as least lag as possible.
