A tiny bacon icon should be added near the player's nickname in the scoreboard. For players that got Chickey's buff an egg icon could be added near the player's name but instead of announcing a single player that got the buff it will announce wich team got it. Ex : *Team* got/has been *chickey's buff or how's called* buff/buffed! What it adds to the game : - risk factor for the player that got bacon. Now that everyone knows who has bacon he will it be probably a priority. - team mates (if they want) can escort and help baconed players now knowing easily who got it or in short more team work. I had better ideas but I kinda forgot them in the way to the forums. :lol: PS : Bacon icon not made by me, randomly founded it on the net.
The Chickey Cantor announcement would also have the benefit of informing players what the point of killing it is/what they got. I've been in dozens of games where people did not know that killing him gave the entire team bacon (if they even understood what getting bacon did). Having more fanfare post Chickey Cantor kill would really make it feel more important and encourage the casual player to join the fight on the platform. It would be a great positive feedback loop.
I would love for Uber to add that Bacon icon to the forums. It would get used quite often. The other ideas were good too.
And you could incorporate the Bullseye congratulations messages from Uncle Tully's for those lucky few. Way to go, StriderHoang!
