Killed by wrong player in logs

Not sure if this is the right place or not… if not, apologies.

 

This happened twice to me in open space (Empire sector, if that matters).

 

First time I was fighting some pirates. I unexpectedly died, the combat log said I was killed by Cloudz. I said hey, Cloudz reported that he did not fire on me. Additionally the combat popup said I was killed by a positron cannon. Cloudz doesn’t have a positron cannon. Interestingly, the combat log does not reflect positron cannon. (Yes, I’m quite certain the log showed positron cannon.)

 

<    PRIVATE From>[  Cloudz] yea im gonna go with that was a glitch im in a squad and no one saw me attacking you

<    PRIVATE From>[  Cloudz] oh yea it was a glitch, i dont have a positron cannon

<    PRIVATE To  >[  Cloudz] so you found it in your combat log then?

<    PRIVATE From>[  Cloudz] yea

<    PRIVATE From>[  Cloudz] but it said i killed you with a weapon i dont have

Second time, I was dead and waiting for a res. Some other players were fighting some bios in the zone, then I noticed the kill notification popup (screen top left) said killed by me, again by a positron cannon, which again was not equipped.

 

I’m not sure how to reproduce this except to play and pay attention to the kill notifications.

 

Sorry I have no screenshots. You can have the entire logs, not sure if they’ll help more than the excerpts above.

if you look closely this is end of combat log in the game, killed him with a missile that long ranges does not have

He probably died from his own missle’s explosion. and you last damaged him so you got the kill

lol

 

i had full health, so he was for sure not attacking me but i saw him behind some rocks. haha that FlinT would do that.

Then maybe I hit him with my coil mortars if he was around the group of pirates my team was getting rid of, but the odd part is that I jumped to Criminal without going aggressor. Even more weird is that I turned criminal when I was just about to enter the gate to the next zone so the battle was over by then anyway.

oh this is in invasion??

 

if a bot/pirate/alien kills anything you have shot at without any other player have shot at them after you. it will be shown as your kill. thats why.

It’s not the right place, you need to request access to the CBT forums: [http://forum.star-conflict.com/index.php?showtopic=23414&p=270910#entry270910](< base_url >/index.php?showtopic=23414&p=270910#entry270910)

But yes, player damage > NPC damage in invasion for some reason. Also can get you criminally flagged if you damaged a friendly NPC at one point and it later dies to other NPCs. Strange design decision…

It could be due to the fact they removed the “Assist Timer” and it’s impacting this game mode more than predicted.

No it looks like an intentional change they made. In “normal” game modes the NPCs do get fully attributed killshots. It’s only in invasion space that NPC killshots don’t count if a player participated.

Kinda like the invasion NPCs don’t see through cloak unlike the normal ones. They decided to make them different.
