Damage indicator

[UserSqc101]

just to know from what side you been killed
if hit from left - red flash on left border of screen
if hit from behind - red flash on all borders of screen
if hit from front - vanilla red flash
if hit from up - red flash on up border of screen

[Some Helldiver]

How about no.
This isn't CoD.

I like that Unturned DOESN'T have this feature. It is more fun in my opinion because you don't know exactly the direction you are being shot from.

No. Think about it. It's harder to know where you're being shot from without damage indicators. That way you can't instantly know where they are.

^^^^ so much
Also, irl you get shot you don't immediately know where the bullet came from.

Have people forgotten Half Life already?

What is with people's obsession with these fishy games?

HL had a basic directional damage indicator, and it wasn't even the first game to do it. It has become a rather basic part of first person shooters everywhere, and for good reason.

It makes sense to know, with at the very least a ±45° range of accuracy, what direction damage is coming from. "Oh dear, my right arm and right side of my chest is hurt, golly gee what direction did that bullet-BARG I am dead! <killed by follow-up head shot through the right ear>

It doesn't have to be much of an indicator, or an intrusive one, or very accurate one, or even very noticeable, but some kind of hint where damage is coming from would be nice.

Even then, with damage indicators, even with experienced players, people derp and don't notice the basic things; so it isn't like people will never ever be able to do stealth kills again. People panic, and can still miss the detail of what direction a shot came from.

But you still can find out... It is never a total mystery... unless instantly put out of action.

if you all compare this to call of duty hit indicator - it is fair, it has simularities but it makes me think that all of you don't know where the bored of the screen is.

Knee-jerk reflex bias on anything that reminds them of fish CoD.

They'll likely fight tooth and nail against it, because they have such a hate for that game, that they'd let it influence their decisions in a game they like.

If done well... and stressing 'if done wall', it would be a nice feature in Unturned.

bad game - no, repetitive - yes. it is a bloody shooter with intriguing story no more no less

[Salamander]

No thx, I prefer a bit of challenge, plus you can tell where the sound comes from.

That's actually exactly what happened in my case. I'm just worried about the community and every time I hear a suggestion like sliding and stuff it worries me. Also, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't refer to people who might disagree with you as "they". While there are definitely people that would fit that hasty generalization, I think you'll find there're several others who just disagree with you and will not consider your perspective as you saw fit to condescend to them without first hearing them out.
I personally don't want hit indicators so as long as it's something I could toggle, I wouldn't mind it being a feature.

The use of 'They' was intentionally. I wanted to rub in the point that emotions and bias are calling the shots, with made up 'logical' arguments to support it; rather than stepstepping back and attempting to objectively look at the idea itself, with as little drama as baggage attached to it.

I know, that kind of thinking is easier said than done, an no one really is 100% objective and unbiased, but attempting to do so is better than just blindly following the same old, easy, possibly incorrect, patterns of behavior.
