Combo

[teal falcon]

Why is it that if I kill a lot of players in a short period of time, I don’t get more points for it? Like combos in other games.
Example: in 10 seconds I killed 5 opponents, but this is better than killing them individually.

[last warren]

Official servers do not have killstreaks, only some Community ones

[teal falcon]

It’s worth adding then to the official

[last warren]

We don't want them, that's why we didn't add it

[teal falcon]

To whom "we"?

[last warren]

Devs / Staff

[teal falcon]

That's why I wrote this here to let players have their say. These people are unlikely to play this game.

[last warren]

We play the game, and the Devs don't want to add killstreaks, as it's their game, that's up to them.

in fact.. wait a second..

[teal falcon]

It sounds crazy, I don’t understand why they don’t want to add this, since there are bonuses for other things in the game.

[last warren]

Seems I may have forgot to add this to my list.. I'll fix it soon

[teal falcon]

"Things that will not be added" u about this?

[last warren]

Yes

When I get confirmation, on something that won't be added, I list it there

makes it easier for everyone.. Pretty sure it was included in the last forum, seems I forgot it this time

so I'll check again, and add it if required

[teal falcon]

It's sad that the developers are not going to add this, because I am happy when I have a lot of points, and I would like to get more of them by killing for example using c4 many players in a short period of time.

[last warren]

You get enough by killing them

This isn't a Hero shooter

Some mechanics, only belong in certain games, not every one

[teal falcon]

If this is not a hero shooter then why do the developers leave it heroic at other points?

[last warren]

It's like Battlefield/Squad etc.. They are not 'Hero' shooters

[teal falcon]

It seems that in Battlefield there is a multiplier for killing a large number of people at the same time.

I may not understand what a “heroic” shooter means because I’m communicating with you in a language other than my native language using a translator.

[last warren]

Ok, still if the Devs don't want to add it, it's up to them

A Hero shooter is like Overwatch, 99% suire, I could be wrong

[teal falcon]

Then I don’t even understand why you said this, because Overwatch is a team game and there are no killstreaks in normal mode.

[last warren]

Style of game

I am not saying it has them, just the style of the game

[teal falcon]

Do you think that in this way people will lose the life of their character in order to make more kills in a short time? Like the character will be a hero and not think tactically?

[last warren]

No, points aren't being understood..

How about this, leave it here.. and we'll see what happens

[teal falcon]

Squad is a team game, the player fills in the missing role in the squad and selects it before starting to play. In this game, you are automatically placed in a squad, even if you did not want to play with someone as a team. Squads should be divided into those where players want to play as a team and tactically, and those where they want to play arcade-style. If you are not in a squad, you simply have to run far if you want to shoot. Should I suggest adding this separately?

[green ginkgo]

I don’t think is really necessary we get enough exp from kills and headshots.

[teal falcon]

Yes, I didn’t think about headshots, but it’s also interesting. It also upsets me that as a sniper I can kill at a distance of about 200 meters, but I won’t get experience for it as if I killed at a long distance, why the game considers this close - I don’t know. This threshold needs to be lowered.

[green ginkgo]

200 is something that most rifles can reach, that’s why. Plus it’s the border where snipers show glint and become long range.

[last warren]

200 metre is close, when you can get a 2.3 kilometre kill

[teal falcon]

This is still wrong, because this is the distance relative to the weapon, I would like to get the same amount of experience if, for example, you kill not with a sniper rifle, but with a pistol, but this distance should be exactly below 200 meters if it is a pistol.

[teal falcon]

In this perspective, yes, but you can’t take such a position on every map, what if I’m playing 32 versus 32? It turns out that I will receive less experience than players playing on a large map 127 versus 127?

[last warren]

Wait, so you want to get the same XP for a ~200 metre kill, as you would a 2000 metre kill

the 2000 metre kill requires way more skill (for the most part)

[teal falcon]

I don’t want to get about the same amount of experience, the second option is really better, it’s just that on average kills with a sniper rifle occur at a distance of less than 200 meters due to the map.

[last warren]

On small servers/short range maps, sure, I understand

[green ginkgo]

I would say no to that average for larger maps

[teal falcon]

Yes, such a distance is very huge, but the scope that you cannot zoom in and out during battle also greatly influences here, as well as the characteristics of the rifle you chose. You can't take a rifle, raise the scope high into the sky without shooting range and hit a character in the head.

[last warren]

You can

You zero the scope

then you don't have to shoot so high

[green ginkgo]

Yea I do that kinda stuff regularly with the m125 scope on the m200, my longest kill is like right around 1 k without zeroing.

[teal falcon]

I can only change the shooting distance, but not the magnification itself inside the scope, right?

[last warren]

I've got a 1100 metre kill, with a 4x scope (so far)

[green ginkgo]

It’s just learning the scope you use.

You can change the scope if you want to do a longer distance.

Do a canted for close or a top sight

[last warren]

Yes, you can change the zeroing, not the magnification, but you don't need a zoomed scope for 1000m or less, just good eyesight

more than 1000m.. Might need something bigger

[green ginkgo]

We getting off topic tho

[last warren]

Yes

Back to Combo's/Killstreaks

[teal falcon]

I would like to be able to zoom in on the scope and change its reticle.

[last warren]

A lot of us would, but IF they happen, they won't be big

[green ginkgo]

The only thing regarding multi kills is a small notification telling me how many people I got with the one nade I threw before listing each individual.

[last warren]

the range may be 1x-2x, or 1x-3x..

you wont get a 1x-40x

[green ginkgo]

I would like the option to replace canted sight with a magnifier

[last warren]

imagine a 1x-40x >.<

[last warren]

sure

I see how that could help

[green ginkgo]

You toggle on the magnifier like you would swap to a canted

[last warren]

Well, they do flip in 3x scope for AR's.. so.. why not

so you have a holo as main, and a 3x flip in

IRL

might I add

[teal falcon]

The red dot sight with 1.5x zoom is really missing ( we offtoping )

[green ginkgo]

I wouldn’t mind multiple options like a 2x, 3x to pick between

[last warren]

Would be nice, that's what the other thread you linked is for, to discuss them

[green ginkgo]

There was a magnifiers thread a while back but I guess it didn’t get traction.

I don’t think a combo notification is bad, might add clutter, but I don’t think there is a need to reward it with exp

When I get 4 guys with a nade tell me I got 4 kills before listing each individual.

[drifting umbra]

Bro thinks this is hotline miami

[teal falcon]
