Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Character-player correspondence

Could you please associate the character's name with the player's name in the game HUD, under the survivors' icons, and in the tally screen? It would be very useful, even decisive, to correctly report infringements at the end of the trial.

    What happens if they all 4 just run the same Survivor?

    What an idiotic sarcasm! My answer to @weirdkid5 made sense: "The fact that the criminal can use a machine gun is not a good reason to deny the policeman a bulletproof vest" means this: "The fact that in exceptional cases (if everyone uses the same survivor) the addition of the name of the character is useless does not remove that, in the normal and most cases, having it helps the infringements reports".

    This is a great idea. Sometimes I have a hard time identifying who's who based on just their aura (I tend to get Meg and Nea mixed up alot) because their outlines are so similar. Would be super helpful when teammates get injured and/or go down.

    This is a good suggestion. @weirdkid5 points out that it wouldn't solve your ability to always identify the right person, but such a fact doesn't take away from your improving suggestion of course.

    Good suggestion. Nothing more to say. :)

    It says the names of people/characters on the match details list (under options or whatever). Should still be accessible on the ending screen.

    That's true, but my suggestion makes the correspondence more evident: if you suffer a wrong and the two names (character's and player's) are linked just under your eyes during all the trial, you'll remember easier the guilty to report.

    Seems generally useful.

    In the tally screen, once everybody is out, you see the survivors running.

    Hovering the mouse cursor over their names in the tally screen, you should see the respective name getting displayed over their head. This will enable you to identify a survivor, unless everybody used the same char, same outfit etc.

    @Pizzaman It's easier to memorize who is guilty if you can immediately see the player-character correspondence, especially with more players using the same character.

    @IceGod34 I did nothing. The staff gave me this gift, because I have been judged a nice user. :)
