Question - Possible bug

    So I was playing gun game yesterday, and more than 3 times I killed a player at the same time they killed me (It did announce the kill in feed). I did not get the next gun type, however. My question is: Is this a bug or is it intentional?

    Now that you mention it, I think that's happened to me before. Sometimes both myself and my opponent get killed and I wouldn't progress to the next gun- I usually just dismissed it as deja vu or something though.

    I always thought that this was intentional, because the one who kills the other one first gets the kill. Think of it like the bullets are not teleporting but actually travelling, so it can be that your bullet was fired just a bit earlier.
    And technically like that you are dead at the point you get the kill, and because of that it is invalid.
    Not sure if it really is intended though. ^^

    Ah, that would make sense.

    I would prefer if the kill is valid even while dead; otherwise it would detract from the mechanics of the game- it'd end up focused on exclusively killing, rather than killing your opponents while surviving. That being said, it's fairly minor and unlikely to happen on a regular basis, so the impact of going either way probably isn't high enough to warrant a lot of change.

    I would say it is the other way around. Having a valid kill when you are already dead seems to me like the gameplay would be focused on killing instead of surviving.


    Edit: I thought the very first sentence states that fodrol would appreciate it if the kill would be counted even if you are already dead Oo.
    Well, maybe I misunderstood (still not sure ), anyway I'm fine with the way it is.

    I think you said the exact same thing lol. But yea this is not a very major problem, it's just that I wanted to make sure that the admins are aware of it.

    In response to the question, whoever kills first gets the next gun upgrade, if you get the kill after you die, it doesn't count as progression to the next level. That was intentionally added to encourage players to survive, instead of just YOLOing it out there and getting lucky enough to get a kill after they had died. :)
