Just humor me for a second. Some of you already know where im going with this. Attention, this is not a troll thread but i know alot of you will rage. also if you respond with a big angry wall of text, ill just skip it. Just warning ahead so you dont waste precious typing seconds :3

My suggestion is for Lockdown. Right now, when You get killed, it says (Player name) is wielding and then they show the (weapon of death) at level 1. Instead of just showing Weapon Level 1, it will also shows the weapon at level 1 WITH any UV's it has. >:) Why show me this? Because i want to know what killed me. for real. Costumes are banned from LD to show us what the person really has. Why not the same with weapons? Bout now, UV spammers are preparing their angry speech. So to recap, when you get killed, it shows the weapon of choice plus any UV's on it. (you guys lucky i didn't propose showing bonuses on it)

So please, respond. Haters, rage. Lovers, have fun ROTFL at the comments to appear. Take this thread seriously or take it as an evil joke or something. IDK...

It's not necessary, UV or not, you're dead. If you're really curious, most players will tell their UVs since there isn't anything to hide.

UVs are part of the weapon that killed you, it would be sensible to show them.

Considering Lockdown is a watered down imitation of TF2, and in TF2 they show you what the other person would see if they checked their own weapon, there is no reason to hide UVs. Silly.

If they want to hide them and you asked they could easily lie to you. "Oh, I have no UVs. I was just better than you."

@Both of yous

when in LD, many ppl take hiding thier UV's seriously. im not gonna get mad and rage quit (cuz that would be stupid and make the game easier for them) if you killed me with a VH ASI flourish. I want to know what im going against. if i striker vs striker, and i get killed by a super weapon, by no means am i facing you again the same way. ill just go recon and annoy you or team up with someone. But some ppl think UV's is cheating so they just uncheck Full Inspect. now HP trinkets on the other hand.....

You may not distinguish a medium from a vh, buy you already know it's there if he seems way too fast.

agreed.

In LD, you should not be able to hide status. It should always be on full inspect.

--or--

If its not on full inspect, then you should be able to wear costume armors and hide your gear. Either give us full transparency or let there be gamesmenship and trickery.

It is unsensible for some LD players to get triple resistant max on a skolver set, and then you are left to guess what it really is and isn't resistant towards.

Especially in light of the fact, they all look the exact same on the screen holding thier toothpicks, polaris, and GF. If it had a huge display of thier name, you could remember, okay, last time i fought XYZ he was immune to my shock and ABC was immune to my fire. But now, XYZ and ABC are identical twins, and in the heat of battle its pretty darn hard to tell which of the 5 skolvers is which and who was resistant to what.

So yes. A clearer name display and the ability to see UVs always.
For names, i'd recommend they each knight could have a number on the ring that surrounds thier base, 1-6 or whatever. It would not hinder the visuals and would allow players to quickly say, MAN SKOLVER 1 IS A BEAST, HE IS IMMUNE TO SHOCK, FREEZE, AND FIRE!! Skolver 2 is susceptible to my volt driver. Okay guys, you go after skolver 1 and i'll go after skolver 2.

As it is, i don't know who i'm fighitng unless they kill me and it says "-----" killed you.

@Romnil

feel proud to be the first large text that i have read completely:) im a little confused with the "rings". will it be under their names? or on a base they took over? Or..my opinion...When You hover the mouse or something over their name, it shows the resistances. again idk. im not the ultimate SK Fan or i dont know how these ideas would work. but im getting aggravated when im fighting against seemingly indestructible clones. Just trying to make LD easier for peeps like me....

No reason *not* to show UVs and heat level, really. As pointed out, they're part of the weapon. Simple as that.
