To make LD more interesting (focus group & Discussion)

Kill counter

The kill counter is so badass and yet extremely simple. On the side of your screen, it actually counts the people that you kill. After the match is over, kills will be counted next to dmg.

Updates on who have been killed

An option that is addable to LD is an updater on who has killed whom.

Example:

Manhoe killed Chris
Rebootse killed Nick
Rebootse killed OMGHAX
Eurydice killed Rebootse
Eurydice banned Venomousbiohazard

Killstreaks!

If you get 3 in a row, then the counter says : Eurydice killed OMGNUUU
Eurydice has got a triple kill!

The only problem with this idea is that LD would be a BLOODBATH :D

Any other ideas that you guys could come up with to make the game more interesting? I feel that people are half-caring about their matches now, and nobody ever fills.

Actually this is half suggestion

1. No, we don't need more inflated egos.

2. Want to make lockdown more challenging/interesting?
-Get Bombastic suit and helm and play striker.
-Use new Shard Bombs or Heavy Decon, maybe BAB.
-???
-More interesting

3. Less Skolvers would be more interesting but that's not happening.

There isnt much free area to display stuff without becoming annoying. The camera is too close to the player.
Maybe you could put it in chat, but with all the acton, it would disrupt actual chatting.

Bleh.

I hate that. It makes the game look more focused on the killing rather than real goal. Only one I'd be okay with would be the 2nd one.

"Want LD to be more interesting and challenging? Play with a different set than a clone. Needs more Winmillion."

less clones

less clones, more weapons/armors being viable.

Could even stick a weapon's depot in the respawn room to switch loadouts during match, allowing for more adjustments and counter adjustments.

My suggestion:

At the rate that Lockdown matches go, I don't think a long respawn counter is really useful----and it discourages players who are still learning LD and get killed a lot. They barely get to play long enough to figure out what's wrong with their gear setup because it takes a while to respawn and they don't observe other people's loadouts. Faster respawns = more chaos = tighter matches. That's just my 2 cents.

Respawn watcher

Almost every other game has this, can't we just watch our teammates while we wait for respawn? I mean really, it's dull enough to watch the opponent get killed and then be stuck looking at the locker room, let us watch our teammates play.

Not that hard I'd imagine, since PvE has it plenty. Also, yeah, only way LD's getting interesting is if the clone loadout becomes obsolete/only as effective as other armors, which won't be happening.

"I feel that people are half-caring about their matches now, and nobody ever fills."

People don't fill because there aren't any items worth filling for.

Bombheads are probably saturated/aren't really as appealing, older players are stock full of krogmo coins (ex: i've been trying to sell off 2k kcoins, and now i'm at 2.3+ lol).

The people who play Lockdown tend to be the "hardcore" endgame players - what's there to want when you already have everything you need?

Personally, I play LD because i find fun in trying to figure out other people (and trying to win with less-common strategies; ex recon gunning), but that's not enough to make me want to spend energy on filling. I spend my mist on revs every few games or so.

Go go killstealing! 'Cuz people will actively try for that instead of just fighting intelligently. People already don't play the objective enough as is. We don't need to encourage this crap. Maybe add this kind of thing if there's ever a deathmatch/TDM mode added.

And no one has cared about matches for as long as I have played LD. And I got 3k+ coins.

@Skold-The-Drac
If this isn't a suggestion, it should be. Probably one of the most helpful things when I was new in T1 was watching teammates fight while I was dead. I expect it would help a ton for LD newbies too.
