Yeah this would be really cool, i have nothing against it.
Makes sense if they’re wearing a mask or something I suppose?

I object to this method of hidden names.
Its already hard enough to be friendly towards other completely random people as it is. Forcing me to get closer to see who you are and if you’re a potential crackhead PvP-only kiddo is already terrible. And with peoples refusal to accept something like The Better Together Update idea, this kind of content will only smash being friendly further into the ground.
A somewhat revised idea, could be that using Binoculars on people who dont have clothes that hide you would show their name. That way; Binoculars are useful, bandits will hide their identity and you will know from far away, cool guys wont have anything to hide, and makes balaclavas and what not more useful.
And to make it easier for noobs who dont know what they’re doing, Unturned could feature a tip system whereby when they put on such clothing, it gives them a tip explaining that other players will no longer be able to see your name. I mean, tips would be great for tons of things. I honestly hate games that save their tips for loading screens like UT3, TF2, so on.

If you have a binoculars and they arent wearing masks you can look yourself and judging from their appearance, realise if you have seen them before. I dont know how a name could help you
This is extremely absurd, you want players to hide or reveal their identity but praise “who killed you” feature which we should never really know, unless your killer came face to face.
I don’t know how food is supposed to hide your identity… is this an idea taken from the TSA? I bet all visitors to the USA or Japan’s recent G20 would be very interested to know how but I don’t see any similarities to real life… what are you smoking? I want some too.

This would make it considerably harder to figure out the names of toxic people and even more importantly, hackers. Don’t know about that one.

When you’re dead, there name pops up, would a hacker really let you get so close to them?
Killing someone would show you “oh yeah ____ has killed you”
So if some intent is to hide ones name, they might not kill.
Even if being killed doesn’t tell the player who killed them, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be appearing in the server logs, which is going to be more useful for letting servers deal with hackers than going off what a player says (unless you’re being shown footage).

The whole point of the feature is that it does show who the player killed, and yeah most actions like that should appear in server logs/console.
So regading this thread, it seems that people don’t want this feature added, and some of them provide pretty good reasons, that i can barely argue against
This could probably work in very specific scenarios where it’s automatically disabled by itself but could be enabled (like config-ing a server or singleplayer world)
I don’t hate this feature or anything of that, I just think a better solution was found by the end of this recent thread.

TL;DR if I can no see name at a gimplse and judge you based of that rather than behaviour/gear is bad
No, just no.
I hate that system, it removes all stealth, it shouldn’t say who killed you.

The only way to report hackers and trolls is by knowing there name, that’s the first step into getting them punished by admins.
We can’t rely on admins constantly, they can’t do the work for us by finding who’s being toxic without knowing a name, we should help them to maintain whatever server we’re playing on.
There will most likely be a report feature when you get killed. Anticheat will do the work and admins will also probably have a log tool that will show who killed who in case of suspicion

That’s a pretty good idea, but what if you needed the person’s steam for when you get killed?
Theres quite a lot of reasons one of them being that you just want to talk to him or invite him to the group. Then again not a lot of people would do that.
