"Destroyed By" Cards Feedback Poll & Discussion

Hello Everyone,

I’m sure we have all noticed the new “Destroyed By” Card when you die to a player. We have already had 2 posts asking how to disable it, which cannot be done currently. I thought it would be good to poll the community to see how people feel about it. I have included 2 polls, the first to gauge the community’s opinion on the feature and a second to see how people feel about an option to disable the feature. Below the polls I will include my opinion.

  • I like the “Destroyed By” Card
  • I dislike the “Destroyed By” Card
  • I am ambivalent to the “Destroyed By” Card
0 voters
  • I want to be able to disable the “Destroyed By” Card
  • I do not care if I can disable the “Destroyed By” Card

Personally, I despise the feature. I am generally against any UI changes that are forced onto the player, more so when that UI change changes the way something has been presented since the begining of the game and was not something the community asked to be changed. It is obstructive to the killcam feature which I find to be extremely valuable in improving my gameplay by analyzing how I was killed. It forces you to engage in content that isn’t historical (i.e. fictional profile pics) which while it isn’t a big deal, it makes the game less immersive for me. If I wanted to see the profile of the person who killed me, I would simply look at their profile from the Tab menu. The “Destroyed By” card presents information that is irrelevant to me at that time. When I die, I am concerned with who killed me and how, and how I can communicate that info to my team, not what level the player was or what their profile picture was. The whole feature feels like something out of Call of Duty, which is not a compliment. I’m questioning who this feature was for- the players? - certainly not as I’ve never seen anybody complain about the lack of a calling card when you kill someone - or Gaijin? - who not so long ago introduced an auction house with limited amounts of cosmetic items that ended up selling for insane prices. It feels like Gaijin wants to force players to look at other players profiles so they can sell (or more likely auction) expensive profile cosmetics. Without the “Destroyed By” Card, most profile cosmetics would go unseen by 99% of players, making most players unwilling to spend money on them.

I’m curious to see what you guys think.

Oh it is for players. Just not the current playerbase.

So many videogame franchises went from their own thing to being a generic shooter because they said they want “the call of duty audicence”.

Look at current CoD, and the insane money there is in selling skins.

It’s for the players who spent over 100 USD (I believe it was more, but I can’t find any record of how much they ended up going for) on the “Spring Festival” Profile Icon Frame. Before it was borderline worthless, but now that any player you kill gets to see how “dedicated” of a player you are there is a justification to sell more of these.

I really don’t care why they implemented it and if someone likes it…good for him.
What i care is it takes 10 seconds to get me in the screen to spawn another vehicle.
So there should have been an option out of it.

The biggest thing for me is it is obstructive to the killcam. It takes up so much of the screen and is completely irrelevant to the info I want to see

Please, let us disable the killcard. If someone likes this, fine … let them use it. But i HATE clutter on my screen, i don’t need this CoD lookalike killcard

Ambivalent because it doesn’t personally bother me, but voted to be able to turn it off because it’s silly to treat this community like CoD.

However I feel it’s there to entice people to buy silly frames and other cosmetic nonsense so I doubt Gaijin will allow us to disable it.

I like the card, but it’s alsoannoying an clunky and I want it gone or at least able to be modififed or disabled like a HUD UI element.

Options for position and size etc.

Personally, for own vanity I would prefer if the card rendered my tank from a 3/4 view so the victim has to look at my cool camo, decals and pay2win bushes

I tried to add another poll option/another poll to give the option for “I do not want others to be able to disable the “Destroyed By” Card” (If any mods could help or offer any workarounds so that we can more accurately gather people’s opinions that would be awesome) I want this poll to be as valid as possible to pass on legitimate feedback to the devs. Apologies to anyone who was unable to vote this option but would have preferred to. Please leave your thoughts in a comment if you fall into that category.

I agree kill card either needs to be removed or made much smaller
