First Blood

[hihihilolHI]

I know this is a bit soon after posting a new thread, but I don't want to forget this idea. It is pretty simple, the person who gets the first kill in a game is rewarded with 50 points and there would be an announcement like:
+10
+50
hihihilolHI has drawn FIRST BLOOD!
SparklyMuffinz was sabatoged by hihihilolHI's pistol!
I just think this would be a cool addition, I know Zombies has it.

I agree :3

But 50 is too much, let's say 25?

 

[DarthLego5679]

You'd have to ask @Razinao if this is codeable.

 

[Tiger_087]

I think this has been suggested before, but I don't think any ops gave feedback.
Personally I think First Blood should be added (if it's codable).

WHY NOT

WHY

I can actually see a potential benefit in this - it encourages people to join a team immediately as opposed to waiting in the lobby for 1) someone else to join or 2) a team to be winning.

EDIT: Of course, though, 50 points is indeed a bit too much. Maybe 15-20 at /most/.

That is not what I was asking.
WHY THE POINTS?
Cannot there be fun for just a message that that person was the first one?

Incentive. :3

Understandable, but is not getting 100 points for your team to win incentive?
The earlier you join, the more kills you can get, the higher you raises your chances.
What about Capture The Flag 15 points?
I do not think there should be points for everything that can POSSIBLY happen on TNT Wars to make it more incentive.
Not to mention there is an event coming which will make it more incentive.

Well, unfortunately players are mainly driven by points. Even if it were just 10 or possibly 15, I think it would definitely encourage people to vie for it more so than just a message.

I agree that we are definitely ending up with a lot of "incentives," but I fear that these are almost necessary.

READ STAFF CHATTER, there are enough incentives coming anytime soon x)

Not to mention that people are enjoying the skin challenge, without receiving extra points
It is not necessary to have this for the first kill

I saw it. I believe I had discussed it with you before, too.

I hadn't thought of the teamskin challenge, actually. x) Oops. And I suppose that it may be point overkill considering the potential "new incentive," but I still think it would be useful as a different incentive in its own right, as the "new incentive" most likely won't encourage immediate team joining as this would.

I can see this going both ways. xD

 

[Defiant_Blob]

Well, the teamskins allow you to see the new skins and have something that would last longer People would want something for it, otherwise the first blood message would get old >_>

Well, if there will be just a message about the first blood, then I see possibilities with the "new incentive".
(everything has to be printscreenable, remember?)

Kills in the first minute of the game reward +1 points?

First blood could give a bonus 5 points. I don't see much of a big deal that someone gets 15 points instead of 10 points every 10 minutes, and even then they might not be the first person to get a kill. Thats hardly incentive but just a 'Ooh ya' bragging feature. It's just for complete:ancy.

This is a very good idea. Sorry for posting the same thread.
