[Suggestion] When you die, show a graphic that says "Killed by (Job)"

One thing that I think would make PvP more fun would be if you could see who got the last hit on you. Other competitive games do the same thing with who killed who like DotA, Counter Strike, etc. I would love a screen that says what damage you took in the last 5 seconds as well so you can see how you died, but I know this would be tough to do. Sp a last hit notification when you die would be nice in the mean time. I think a global announcement would be too much for Frontlines, but just a notification for yourself would be nice.

Example would be a Bard kills you, so during the 5/3 second respawn window, a graphic comes up that says "Killed by Bard".

Edit: Completely forgot Feast had this. But for Frontlines there's nothing. I'd like a notification in it so I know who to focus down to get some petty revenge. Global announcements would be way too spammy for Frontlines, I was thinking more of something the player themselves can check.

There is. oO At least in Feast there is shown who killed who.

So I guess you are talking about Frontlines? -> This mode is not about killing others in the first place but earning points by doing most damage on crystals or keeping up flags.

That may be the main point, but killing still happens. And you should kill each other if the opportunity arrives. Also some jobs are do better by focusing on player killing, like Magic DPS since the Ice has magic vunrability up buffs. A magic DPS would better server the team by killing players if they can manage it instead of attacking the Ice. A simple message so I can see that a Red Mage killed me would be nice, doesn't have to be the big announcement like in Feast though.

There's some chat setting you can do to show who killed who for Frontlines. I actually thought it was default but I guess I turned it on a long time ago, or at least moved the option from my Battle chat to my General chat tab. I do like this idea though, they need to port it over from feast as people need to know I killed them the fifth time :P

Truth be told, I'd rather have a breakdown of the top 5 damage sources in the last 10 seconds or something like that. IMO, knowing what killed you is more important than who got the last hit.

I'd love that as well. But I was thinking that this could come first and the rest later since having a small window like that to check seems like a lot of effort to create.

To clarify further. Killing players grants points. If you have a good hit on a group the map control and ice access from it is a pretty big gain in play.
