    Not sure exactly what you are referring to? Are you talking about the retaliation window? Used to be closed with only a attack kill but now also closes with a punch/whip/slap kill as well?

    i kill them with a slap

    We made this change recently to close up a loophole high level players were using on lower ones. Let me just quickly go through the evolution of Axe Slaps on VC.

    - VC was originally released without axe slaps
    - When axe slaps were released, a kill through an axe slap did not take away any XP and really was just a fun stat
    - We then introduced XP loss through Axe Slap kills and counted against stats but did not count them as a typical kill in other regards (closing off retaliation)
    - After introducing the XP loss and after some users brought this issue to our attention, it made sense that an Axe Slap kill should close off the retaliation window since an Axe Slap kill results in the same loss of XP as a regular kill

    Does that make sense?
     
  5. i always thought axe kills shouldnt take away exp since that really is a cheap shot

    Maybe should not count if user if offline, but if online it should count?
