Vanyel Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Omg, please, tell me it's not truth!!11~ I can't play this game now! Seriously, you should read first the topic it was mention in to know the context. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brom Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Do you have other suggestions for death messages? I do not like the second one. I think the first one is funny really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atreyu Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I like, "MindFreak has become better at dying." and, "Mindfreak was PWN3DZ0RZ!!!!@#?!??!!!!!!one!!111one1!" Or whatever.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted October 4, 2005 personally, I don't really like either of them. possible humour/offence aside, they're a couple of the worse off messages for being out of character of the game but... *shrug* I don't die often, and I'm not often around other people who do either... so it's a minor issue to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Well the game was originally made with unexpected little quirks that are out of character...ent has a good sense of humor, and I find it amusing to come across these little tidbits. And the first I find not so much funny but sarcastic, and the second I find funny. And yes, I'm from the USA. All that aside, we had this discussion (the search function is your friend) already here. It appears that the end result was that some things were removed, and some left alone. I think for every one person who didn't like them, another 20 did. At least.

LadyWolf Report post Posted October 4, 2005 Umm..don't die you won't see the messages? lol Seriously, like Aisy said, Ent has a good sense of humor, and I think they are funny, you never know which one will pop up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDoctor Report post Posted October 4, 2005 But those people who like them aren't going to quit EL because you remove it, and I know some people didn't continue with it because they were offended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Mind Report post Posted October 4, 2005 They should add one that mentions mother nature. I don't know what it would say, but it should mention her somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derin Report post Posted October 4, 2005 I like the messages, sorta like a comic relief in all the stress BUT, Bagdad Bob (iraqi info minister) is geting rather obsolete. So maybe he should go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm rather tired of people preaching their comic-book inspired views of anti-Americanism to me in games. It's a F***ing game, not a soapbox! taken from http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setView/hype/gameID/73 I agree, they ought to be removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cayuga Report post Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) Am i dreaming ? Hey ! it's a game ! the creator of it has his own opinions/sense of humor/etc. if you don't like, don't come, nobody ever forced you to join. Do i boycott american films where frenchies are the baddies ? errrrr... no, i keep in mind that it's only a movie, even if it happens more and more often. not a big deal. I don't care. they'll get bored from this before me. ^_^ If these death messages are removed, why not erase snakes as well ? i'm affraid of snakes, it's impossible for me to play el knowing i may see one !

Learner Report post Posted October 5, 2005 im from iraqi and its racism! 205634[/snapback] It isn't racism. It's a joke based on facts that the Iraqi Information Ministry during the war was missrepresenting what was happening and how things were going to the point of losing any truth about what they were saying.

TheDoctor Report post Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) It isn't. And really there is no reason at all to leave it in. Can anyone give me a good reason to leave it in besides "ITS FUNNY!!!!!" or "I LIKE IT" Edited October 5, 2005 by TheDoctor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
