Weapon Hit Area System Message

[Klavis Verge]

Anyone remember the grey text that would say "So and so delivered a <descriptive> blow to your legs."? Or arms or face, etc. etc.

I know they patched it out because people felt it was too spammy but back then it was relevant to understanding the mechanics of melee combat as well as the importance of wearing face armor, cursor targeting, etc.

People died faster when suffering blows to the head, and those that ran away had greater armor damage on their legs.

I was wondering if there was any remnant of the body targeting preference in the current implementation.

That message was what made me realize how intricate and realistic the game was.

I quit right OSI right before T2A and don't remember this at all. If you think it is era-accurate, find some proof and re-post this thread in the Era Accuracy forum, I guess.

I don't remember this at all.
