[Suggestion] Dedicated chat box, and who-did-I-just-kill clarity.

[Undead Clown]

I did a quick search, so hope this hasn't been brought up.

I think there should be a dedicated chat box separate from the kill log.  Also there need to be options for how long it takes for the chat to fade, or how many lines to keep.  In the confusion of battle it is very hard to keep track of a conversation when the lines just scroll by.

Also when you kill someone, or are killed by them I believe there should be a kill message that pops up in the middle or top of the screen (make it a toggle for people that like it the way it is).  I get killed all the time and never get to see who killed me because the chat or kills are going up to fast. The same issue when there is a group of people attacking the same person, it would be nice to know if you got the kill or not.

Read it, he said "separate from the kill log".

Turn off casualty reporting.

There's chat in it too though... Why bother wasting two buttons for something that's already there?

I agree, it should be a bit like counterstrike, where the kills and stuff are on the top right and while the chat box is where it is now, it'll reduce the confusion between Kills and Chat.

Did you even read my post?

That would be OK for the chat, but then I would not even be able to see who I killed or who killed me, another topic in my op.
