Other Make Killed with DNA More Obvious

[Torbjörn]

I was playing last night and was reported several times by people when I had their DNA. It usually happened when I was an innocent with a DNA scanner from a dead detective. I think it needs to be more obvious than in the message in chat since it’s a waste of time for staff to deal with these kinds of reports.

Bumping tf outta this.
I feel like a damned cuck when I report and I’m hit with the I had your DNA

 

[Ruki]

Agreed. +1

It says so in the chat and in console, in case you missed it during the death prompt.

 

[Ruki]

Nah what we mean, Opal. Is we're getting reported even though the game tells them we had their DNA

I'm 99% sure it doesn't say in chat but on the death badge it should be more noticeable when they have DNA.

In SGM it was retard proof it slammed into your face that they had your DNA.

Let's be honest; if someone is salty and stupid, the gigantic "THEY HAD YOUR DNA" popup was insufficient. Fully half my reports in that other server were solved by typing "I had DNA." (And the period was required because you had to include 10 characters in your response.)

Frankly, the only solution would be to absolutely negate the automatic popup for reporting if the killing player has DNA. Then when they type !report have a pop-up menu saying "THIS PERSON HAD YOUR DNA, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO BE AN IDIOT?!"

That's not a bad idea at all. Well, not this phrasing exactly, but a good point overall.
I'll try to get this added for the next RDM manager update.

That's not a very great idea unless you make the game check that it's "valid" DNA. You could just abuse this otherwise by picking up their DNA from any gun they were holding and then kill them for it.

Obviously this would only work for valid kills (traitors being killed by non traitors who had their DNA).
And, again, this would simply be a warning; it won't stop you from going on with the report of you wish.

I made a sarcastic, drunken post and Opal folds the good parts of it into the new meta.

I think I like Opal.
