In the recent months, Cubecraft has doing nice QOL changes regarding disabling certain features If the players don’t want them. One feature that is noticeable, but cannot be disabled at all are the custom kill messages. This means that when people purchase something so that they get those kill messages, they cannot disable these at all. Personally, I’m against servers forcing people to get something when they purchase something, even more if the purchase was done with real money.

So my suggestion is: make those kill messages be able to disabled as well. The custom egg break messages in Eggwars can be disabled just fine, so why not the custom kill messages as well?

besides my personal reason, I hear most people talk about the following two reasons:

1. Custom kill messages increase targeting
People who have custom kill messages are guaranteed to have a rank. So in the games I play, people who have custom kill messages are likely to be targeted more by fellow players.

2. Disliking the messages in general.
A lot of the custom kill messages reference old meme material. There is something like ‘... This is Sparta…. This is an really old meme from like 2009. There is also something like ‘OWO’d to death‘, which I personally dislike a lot.

This shouldn’t be hard to implement and people who like the kill messages can keep using them, I only want them be able to be disabled for the people who don’t want them.

This is my suggestion about the custom kill messages, and I hope you react with an agree. If you don’t, that’s fine, but please explain why in the comments.

@josepadgui can you please explain why you voted disagree?
I think being able to disable custom kill messages just doesn't make sense. If a player has paid for a rank to get them or has got them as a cubelet reward is just to show them off. Allowing you to disable these kind of messages would just disincentivize players to buy these kind of packages or to grind cubelets and loot points to get better cosmetics. It's like if you were allowed to disable other players' win effects, particle packs, companions, etc.

No, they mean disabling it for the user not other people disabling others effects. It’s so you are not forced to use these items

I know, but I said that if they allowed this, the loot system would lose its sense. If you can disable kill messages, win effects, etc from other players, then what's the point of getting exclusive loot if other players can disable it. The loot system is there to fill one of the most essential human needs, the need to pretend and show off your stuff to other people, it's just a matter of how the human brain works. To defend my thesis answer to this question honestly: Would you buy a cosmetic package if you know anyone else is going to see it, just you?

This suggestion is not about disabling others custom kill messages. It rather is about disabling those of yourself so others cannot see yours.

The players can opt to play without an custom prefix or cage, but players cannot disable their custom kill messages at all. That’s what I want to change

I agree as you explained it is only for your own kill messages. Maybe you should make that clear in the original post so that people who don't read all the comments are also aware of this.
