Have the game itself make jokes when you get a kill with anything.
If you get a kill, subtitles will appear above your healthbar. Different weapons will result in different quotes. Some examples are:

Minigun: She weighs 150 kilo-oops, wrong game.
(CREDIT: AH-64 Apache)

void dagger
#

lol that would be pretty funny and cool

ripe carbon
#

interesting take

void dagger
#

but might make new players mad and quit the game right?

#

idk ill give u a thumb though

plucky yoke
#

Minigun: you won your freedom with a gun that has 100 rounds of USA freedom

#

RPG: hopefully you killed the player inside the tank

#

LMG: WW2 is over bro

#

GL: how in the world did you do that bro

ripe carbon
plucky yoke
#

VSS: just a CQC weapon mixed with sniper levels of accuracy. good job man

ripe carbon
#

how about grenade?

plucky yoke
#

Grenade: it appears you rely on explosives. if you rely on explosives, get a life

#

.50cal: you hit something? Congrats!

ripe carbon
#

grenade needs sth better

#

like

#

"imagine relying on explosives" or sth like that

void dagger
#

lol yes

#

april fools aint till a while tho righ

#

t

plucky yoke
#

Autopistol: pistol, but with skill removed. great job on a pointless kill

#

Tac-shotty/shotty: a surefire way to guarantee a win. (CQC only. Refer to your local weapons dealer)

#

Crossbow: Its 2024, not the 15th century! Wrong era m8

#

Knife: how much of your soul did this one kill take

#

Fists: I dont even want to know how you did this

ripe carbon
#

concussion

#

how about vehicles

plucky yoke
#

oof ;-;

#

concussion: you blinded a player to death. great job

#

APC-1: how did you find this vehicle and how did you get the kill

#

APC-2: you ran over someone 100ft back

#

APC-3: How in the world did you steer this thing to a kill

#

Tank lvl 1-3: you definately didn't try to shoot a person with this. did you? DID YOU?

#

Heli lvl 1: an RPG strapped onto a huge drone. good job

weary arrow
plucky yoke
#

heli lvl 2: 2x miniguns, 2x the amount of freedom

weary arrow
#

Heli level 3: Really? You need to be able to fly, AND have your bullets aim for you?

weary arrow
plucky yoke
#

jet lvl 1: explosive expert, needing fly hacks, bullets aiming for you, AND freedom? what skill issue do you have?

#

jet lvl 2: slightly more skill than the other jet, but meaning you have slightly less life

#

edit the ones that seem good, and the ones that are still missing I will redo the kill roasts

plucky yoke
#

👍

weary arrow
#

Jet level 1 unguided rockets: You really do spray and pray, don't you
Jet level 2 unguided rockets: You hit your target! With rockets with the AOE of a football field! A winner is you!
(Rest will be for both jet levels as the weapons other than the unguided are the same)
Jet homing missiles: Let's be real, that was the only reason you got into this thing, isn't it
Jet machine gun: (top gun reference) That wasn't too close for misslies you know (Yeah this one's kinda bad)

the game should focus on fun

#

this adds a focus on negativity

#

attacked for dying, attacked for killing

#

constantly hearing it can be detrimental to that one guy who just got home from school and wants to have some fun at the end of the day

#

and now the game's not allowing that distraction

frozen summit
#

being sad on April fool's day is pretty sarcastic

#

shouldn't expect anything to not be a hidden prank on that day

dire willow
#

the focus is silly goofy fun

#

something like the bodies flying up leaves a laugh and made a lot of people think there was a bug

#

a success

frozen summit
#

"fun" is subjective
so there's not really a correct answer to whether it's funny or not

dire willow
#

well being told you are "bad" constantly is very rarely fun to people

#

games with voicepacks will includes ones a bit like that

ripe carbon
#

Plok has a point here

dire willow
#

the difference is you actively choose to use that voicepack

ripe carbon
#

no one wants ot play a game that belittles them when they're just tryna have a fun time

dire willow
#

here people log in and are forced to hear "you are bad"

ripe carbon
#

except the games out there that do that

frozen summit
#

they should know if they are bad or not, decided by themselves

dire willow
#

it's about pranks, yes

#

point missed though

#

there's fun and silly

#

there's just straight negative

#

there are still pranks no matter the occasion that do not cause smiles

#

the game should focus on smiles

#

so if it's a negative prank, it's an immediate no from me

frozen summit
#

wait

#

what is a positive prank

dire willow
#

even knowing it's not true, hearing those things has a psychological effect

#

well you could turn the knife into a floppy knife

#

use the rubber chicken logic on it

#

like last year, bodies flew up

frozen summit
#

isn't that just neutral?

dire willow
#

you could make bullets look like bananas

#

if it's not negative, it's positive

frozen summit
#

hmm

#

sure, whatever

#

so positive pranks

#

this suggestion isn't looking very positive

#

but it's kind of the point

frozen summit
dire willow
#

yes

#

further showing it worked

#

we had a lot of bug reports come in that day coronalol

frozen summit
#

I thought it was just something hilariously wrong with the game pepelaff

dire willow
#

some people when they were told it was an april fools prank asked if it could be permanent

#

that to me was a successful nod to april fools

frozen summit
#

eh, when you die, you get a brief peek to the entire field

#

so I guess it was kinda useful... maybe

dire willow
#

swap the team colours

#

red = ally, green = enemy

#

yellow/brown in colour blindness of course

#

that's something that could be done, it doesn't insult and demean a person

frozen summit
#

yea, I'm never against these kinds of pranks either

ripe carbon
#

let make it so every grenade you pull out explodes
totally not a feature im manipulating into my will

#

this is the best april fools suggestion EVER

#

hunting rifle: you used it on an animal, right ?

#

smoke grenades should also do damage on april fools

#

smoke grenade: You are a bot, or pretending to be one.

#

revolver: You just love to spin around.

#

Tank machine gun: you don't actually want to drive this thing, you just want to sit in it.

#

desert eagle: you love the tactical shotgun but want to give the enemy a fair fight, so you use the pistol edition

ripe carbon
#

you mean tank machine gun

prisma crescent
#

jk

#

laser trip mine: you think you're in a spy movie

#

fist but holding binoculars: you can even kill someone when you have 2 sniper scopes

#

killed someone after you died in your vehicle because it rolled over someone: you totally meant for that to happen right ?

#

you killed yourself: Congrats, you killed someone... just not the enemy

#

I don't see how these couldn't be taken as a joke, they're just too funny.

ripe carbon

#

pistol: is that skill ? or is that just showing off ?

prisma crescent
ripe carbon
#

one is simply saying you lost to your opponent, while the other is openingly being negative for using a weapon or just playing the game

#

That's like a sport coach makes fun of how one of their player plays based on their moves and performance, it's a negative psychological thing that will make the directed person feel less willingly to want to participate.

dire willow
#

there's a difference to losing a match and constant negative feedback even as a joke

ripe carbon
#

You can take it from here plok.

dire willow
#

you can look into the pyschology of it if you like

#

even knowing full well that it is not true and that it is not actually meant by the person, there are adverse effects to a person's mental and emotional wellbeing

#

I would hate to know someone had a bad day at school or work, came home to the game

#

and then got all this negative stuff just for playing that they didn't ask for

#

the game has a clear focus on fun

#

even the about me Joja set for the server shows this

weary arrow
#

Ok @here

#

I have decided to overhaul this

#

Instead of insults

#

It will be jokes

ripe carbon
#

@here doesn't ping everyone

#

if you were to ping @here and it actually pinged, you would be in so much trouble
