okay so I posted this idea on the MWO forums but haven't gotten a lot of response and I think it's just because... well it's the MWO forums, and then I herp a derped and posted in the basic forums not really thinking about how it would be an NDA breach, fortunately NDA is no more so... anyway, I figure if more people respond more people might at least glance at the topic but I don't want to be a douche and bump my own thread (too often) so anyway, the thread is here, http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/438..._fromsearch__1 "personally, I like the kill assist but I think it needs a bit more credit to the person who actually did the lions share of the kill rather than the kill shot, in which I suggest the TKS, Technical Kill Shot, granted for doing the greatest percentage of the damage to the mech, while not removing the kill shot entirely for statistics (though I think having a stat for TKS would be fantastic too) this would put far more priority on performance rather than on who got the last shot. (people often focus far to much on the actual kill rather than actually working as a group, this will also help give more credit to support when support isn't actually getting kills but doing great damage and keeping up the rain)" the basic idea, I put a poll on the actual thread to try and give an idea of whether people agree with it or not so yeah, feel free to add your two cents or not but I think it could make a difference in the way people play, not just how the 'score' is counted.
Sounds like a pretty good idea to me Though I doubt the devs would create such a change, people love their Kill Shots.
ahh but that's the beauty of it, the kill shot isn't removed, simply adding TKS to give credit where it's due, it'd be perfectly plausible to recieve both if you did both the majority damage, and actually got the kill shot.
