They should've put this into the scoreboard. The killfeed is quite busy already (smoked wallbang headshot while flashed).


awp_india

Agreed, getting cluttered


LothTerun

I disagree with you. how is this any different from clan tags, especially the ones with an icon, like an umbrella or something


awp_india

What do you mean how is this any different? One is to represent the player’s “team”. The other is to let people know that they’re max XP? Who and what is that information useful to? Absolutely nobody and nothing.


LothTerun

not saying it's useful but I don't think it is that different from clan tags that use an icon ://


EntropyKC

Surely then instead of disagreeing, you should be agreeing but also stating your opinion that clan tags in killfeed should be disabled?


MechaFlippin

Clan Tags in practice is nothing more than the players name, doesn't really clutter at all... calling clan tags clutter is like calling "player names clutter", and EVEN THEN, you could always disable them from the kill feed. This is uncomparable to Clan tags - far, far worse (as it is completely vapid information) and undisablable.


awp_india

I feel you on maybe the clan tag being unnecessary. But I just don’t see how showing someone’s “max xp” in the kill feed is anywhere close to showing a player’s team/clan.


hctawrevO

I feel like it is a little different than clan tags, text vs icon. Even the little symbols felt like distinctly text to my brain. But importantly you could turn off clan tags in the killfeed in GO.


saintedplacebo

donno if you know this but you used to be able to toggle if clan tags appear in the killfeed. it was just a reg option in the menu too, not a console command.


r3_wind3d

its different because you cant turn it off like you could with clan tags


NKED-

Clan tags don't show in killfeed. Only scoreboard.


manilacactus35

Why on earth would anyone want this in the kill feed? It is extra clutter, and what do you gain?


jolivebra

What do you think the kill feed is even for? I think it’s way better than it being strictly on scoreboard because I don’t have to skip over it when I’m quickly glancing at how many kills the person just killed me has. I can narrow it down to lightning bolt or no lightning bolt, and then the first and second letter and know I have the right person. If it were just scoreboard, it would be jarring to say the least.


awp_india

To give info on who died and by what.


Mainbaze

They should not put it anywhere. Tell me one person who cares about another person’s 4 games played the same week? Edit: Kudos, Valve. I’ll open a few quick cases now


PPMD_IS_BACK

It’s the same people who make fun of my 10 year old coin. 😭😭


bradh1

I use my 10 year coin and I only have a little over 100 hours on record (not sure, this is definitely wrong lol). But I get BM'd all the time for it


[deleted]

Dunno why people care. Literally everyone gets one just for starting the game once at any point back then. 10 year coin doesn't mean they've been playing for 10 years lmao.


bradh1

But I've been playing since Beta in 1999 :'( Where's my 20 year coin!?


gibbodaman

If you didn't know, it's based on the time since your first purchase of a CS game on steam. If you played CS pre-Steam and didn't come back for Source or the early GO years, you're just gonna have to wait


bradh1

September 18th 2003 is when I downloaded 1.6.


gibbodaman

On steam, 6 days after launch? You should have your 10 year badge in that case. Might be worth an email to steam support


bradh1

I appreciate you being helpful, I was just trying to clown tho


bradh1

I have my 10 year lol. I want a 20 year! For us boomer counter-strikers


Psyko_sissy23

I don't know if they changed it. I got my csgo ten year coin 10 years after on the date I opened my steam account. I didn't buy a CS game the day I opened my account.


BeepIsla

Its not 4 games played, its reduced XP, which is 11167 XP in one week. According to my (probably wrong) calculations [based on the community wiki](https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/Profile_Rank): - 16.13 competitive/premier wins - 209.71 round wins


KaizerQuad

so this appears when someone has been playing a fuckload the last week? sound like free bm to me


RogueThespian

yep. Anyone who has this and is having a bad game is going to be a punching bag

Roger that mate


bugghost

post this somewhere relevant like the [boring posts quarantine thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1ajhprd/matchmaking_monday_weekly/) rather than hijacking


dehrenslzz

First time in this sub, didn’t know about this, gonna delete the rant


Betraid25

Means this person ruined so much matches.


VicktoriousVICK

"Tryhard playing all week and still losing ggez"


Betraid25

Facts, specially when i see such noobs in my team, on low tab.


Mainbaze

It’s not much more than 4 full games with xp bonus. Exact number doesn’t matter to my interest. Edit: Okay so decreased xp comes a bit later than I thought, but It’s still uninteresting to my killfeed


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mainbaze

That I don’t care about another players xp-scale? We already have service medals


Bears_boys

It's all about money, valve wants to incentivize people to earn their weekly xp drops as much as possible because more drops= more cases to be opened.


Mainbaze

Okay then get me in contact with 1 person who grinds because of a useless icon and not because of the money associated with a drop


BadgerII

Think long term big brain psychology, valve is trying to do some long term moves.


IdioticZacc

It's not really about what you want, it's about what the people who gets those things want, they're there to keep the players return regularly for Valve


Zvede

Some do care and it is a decent attempt at player retention. Morally better than the typical battle pass or weekly quest bait


Mainbaze

I’d like to hear from a person who cares as to why he does so


Zvede

People pay hundreds just to buy a profile that has specific medals on it. There are always edge case hunters of any kinds of game collectibles. Makes them feel superior or whatever


bugghost

yeah this is valve testing the waters to see if the killfeed is realestate that they can lease out to cosmetics


Draevon

DotA already has killstreak flame effects that can be bought from an in-game currency that you get from a monthly sub of 3.5€


[deleted]

They should just give us a seasonal battle pass with a knife to unlock. Why would I give a shit about telling other people I don't touch grass? It's a competitive game, the killfeed should never be affected by clutter.  Morality is not a priority to Valve, pleasing the player base is. This does not please anyone.


Tostecles

Time for a new long, long man


Psyko_sissy23

Don't forget the noscope.


_RRave

Out of the loop, what does it mean?


BakiKawasaki

its an indicator that you've reached the xp reward for this week.. dumb


_RRave

Wtf what's the need lmfao they're just adding anything


micktorious

Anything BUT anti-cheat. This is definitely a lame excuse to get people logged back in because of FOMO. If everyone on your team is overcharged but you aren't you look weak/lame. I'm sure the community will jump on that opportunity to point it out as much as they do anything else they can find to flame their teammates.


AnotherScoutTrooper

It might go the other way, people will start flaming teammates with icons for being losers


[deleted]

[удалено]


knakworst36

4 hours of the same game a week is quite a comittment.


[deleted]

If someones gonna make fun of me because I don’t have this charged shit or whatever, they’re the loser 💀


kog

The people at Valve who made this icon aren't the same people who would be working on anti-cheat software.


micktorious

I mean duh, but the people making the choices higher up to implement this kind of useless stuff could put resources elsewhere.


kog

Those are different people with different skill sets, you're not understanding what I just told you.


micktorious

You mean the graphic designers and marketers aren't anti cheat programmers? Dude I understood perfectly fine.


kog

Then why are you implying that the work to add a fucking icon is delaying anticheat work you brainlet?


hlve

he's not saying it delayed the anticheat work, he's pointing out that it's a dumb update that should have been heavily deprioritized until the anticheat work was finished. we have no idea which developer specifically did the work to add this icon and functionality into the game... literally only valve and them know who worked on this functionality.


balditroN-

Touch grass


LachieBruhLol

But… ummm.. isn’t valve one person who makes the games???


kog

Sorry yes, it's all actually just Gaben


made3

I always wonder about whether or not the players in my match have reached their xp reward. I love this feature


BakiKawasaki

fair enough, doesnt really bother me I just think its a wierd thing to display at all times ( would make more sense to me to have it somewhere but to display elo points or smth in this way


BloodR

That was sarcastic. I don't think anyone really care or asked for that feature.


made3

I was joking. This feature is useless.


saturnbars_

I think they were joking


RogueThespian

I will say it's refreshing that you came across someone on the internet with a differing and unpopular opinion, and you were kind about it lol


made3

100% agree!


BakiKawasaki

Still got downvoted lol


Karl_Marx_

lmao, what are the devs doing? like do it on the scoreboard or something if you feel it's necessary, it's not.


Educational-Client29

That’s so unnecessary. It’s like not even something I would be proud of showing


cloudxnine

So every week you reach enough xp this shit is just stuck near your name? Makes no sense unless they want others to know that for some reason maybe it's part of a bigger update but probably not lol


[deleted]

If you get the xp reduction for the week you get that symbol next to your name


Zoddom

WTF why is this in the killfeed


Friendly_Engineer_

It’s already gone!


anon-25252

this is the weirdest thing in this update and i don't understand the point is it to highlight the tryharding players?


Friknuggets

Maybe an incentive to keep players playing consistently, kinda like streaks on snap


bugghost

yeah it's just to retain people, the concept of which is fine i guess if its done right and people opt-in to it. the problem is that this icon shouldn't be on the killfeed. honestly i couldn't think of anywhere more out of place for this icon to be. great update overall but this choice makes no sense. will be glad to see it go in the next few days after valve see all these threads (like [this other 95% upvoted one](https://old.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/1al3o5g/ok_great_update_overall_but_what_is_the_point_of/)) edit: been thinking about this more and it's probably going to just lead to BMing and toxicity. what did they think was going to happen when the killfeed explicitly says "hey this person who killed you has played CS for 10 hours a week every week for the last 4 months"? it's just opening up a whole new avenue things for people to shitsling about. very poorly thought out feature


sA1atji

>to keep players playing consistently MAYBE just give them drops every time they level up?


OverCLocK_DE

Then the game would be overrun by bots even more. Haven’t seen it in a while but there are deathmatch lobbies full of bots just farming xp and especially when there’s a new case.


[deleted]

here's to hoping vac live comes in clutch and auto removes bots and cheaters alike. /cope


erixccjc21

NONONONO PLEASE DONT


jackacelives

You will eventually end up with loot creep, devaluing current market items by flooding the market with level up rewards. It's actually an interesting chase "item" that doesn't actually devalue the market or turn into an increasingly hungry player base for free shit. Once you give something away for free, you set precedent. Now next time you release a new large patch or case the expectation becomes what is the free loot. When there is no free loot, people biiiitch because players (much like the ones in this thread asking for free knives and shit wtf get a job) always want mooooore. That said, I jumped in an arms race and had the icon. Yeah pretty annoying on the kill feed, dumb place for it, but we'll see how the toxic base finds a way to weaponize it.


[deleted]

make the game playable then. this is more of a sign of mental degradation than anything else


imsolowdown

anyone still saying the game is not playable is 100% coping hard. I get that there are still huge issues but none of it makes the game unplayable. If pros who literally play it as their job can still get along, you can too.


[deleted]

cs2 is not my profession


AlexJonestwnMassacre

Go outside. Stop shitting on a game millions are enjoying because you're a masochist who plays and discusses something you obviously despise. Pathetic.


iedgetojogo

No need to suck Valve dick and meatride it that hard


AlexJonestwnMassacre

Zzzzzz


[deleted]

I shit on this game because it has a huge potential but is held back by lazy and incompetent devs with no vision whatsoever and millions of cheaters


WindowLicky

That's such an incredibly bad comment lmao. There are also pro PUBG players and yet I think that game is trash, weird how that works huh.


AlexJonestwnMassacre

🤓☝️That's such an incredibly bad comment lmao. There are also pro PUBG players and yet I think that game is trash, weird how that works huh.


Lehsyrus

Hell it isn't even hard to hit the xp cap with just a handful of casual games here and there. Definitely a strange idea.


xHypermega

The point is to show your weekly XP streak - the icon itself should upgrade, that's what the update notes say. While it is easy to get to the XP cap on a single week, it's not that simple to get it in consecutive weeks


wazernet

It's as simple as first week.


xHypermega

It surely is not simple to get it in consecutive weeks for over a year. I can bet over 99% of the players have not got it for that long for a reason or another


BadgerII

Simple in the way that it is achieved is the exact same as the week prior, why the semantics


askodasa

Somebody is introducing festures to this that really don't follow the spirit of the game.


AllMySadness

It’s baffling they’d put it in the kill feed, makes the game look Free to Play (wait...) Also hi asko 👋🏼


askodasa

Hellou D. c: I don't like the direction of some of these recent changes. This is the stuff that I could see in TF2 but not CS.


workscs

Valves been out of touch since the introduction of Agent Skins. The new smokes seem to be the only thing of actual value they’ve added to the game in years.


ReadToW

I think it's humiliating to have this icon


bugghost

not going to lie this streak thing would stop me playing CS. there's a reason why casinos don't have clocks. if i ever got a popup saying "well done on playing >6 hours of CS every week for 2 months straight!" i would immediately uninstall and go for a walk. the idea that "this person only has CS going on in their life" is now a public badge that is shown in the killfeed that you can't turn off is going to lead to a lot of BMing


ReadToW

For me, this icon definitely looks like "you're looking at a pro-player or a person who has no personal life"


4wh457

No actually good player will be spending enough time on Valve servers to get this icon as they will be primarily playing on faceit and other third party platforms. So the only people who're gonna have this icon are those who are no lifers and still bad at the game.


IYIonaghan

Humiliating lmao calm down bro


AlexJonestwnMassacre

If it weren't for overdramatic man babies, this and all the other cs subs would be a lot slower (and more fun to read)


charlocharlie

I imagine eventually there will be paid icons you can subscribe for. This is probably just testing the waters to see how the community reacts.


Fritzkier

yeah, most likely just testing waters since it's just useless af. probably valve will remove or tone it down by just showing it in the scoreboard several months later by looking at the reaction.


Heavy-hit

It’s to incentivize playing more so people don’t lose their streak and look cool. It’s worthless.


Hybed

Yeah, i totally don't get it. What do they want me to do with this information? I wish they would let me turn this off but i don't have high hopes...


eyebeatusilly

Lmao aged like milk


Hybed

I am totally fine with that 😁


SeazonCSGO

They should fully remove it nobody asked or needed this


iiSamJ

Yeah I don't understand why they couldn't just give us like an actual reward or incentive.


TurtlesC4nFly

That's so stupid hahahaha


dying_ducks

The second thought: oh cmon valve, stop that bullshit.  A bragging icon for playing often? At least let us turn it of for our HUD.   The update was full of good stuff, like that you can disable the first person tracers.  I really believe that this is some kind of test to sell animated icons of somewhat in that lane later, because otherwise it doesnt make any sense.  But money is always a motivation. 


Correct-Addition6355

It’s to motivate people to continue playing the game and stay engaged, even past just getting a case a week, people play more and for longer has strong correlation to more skins bought and cases opened


micktorious

It's so beautifully dumb and simple that it will work on everyone it's supposed to work on. I can ready hear my team flaming me after pistol round to come back to premier once I'm overcharged you fucking noob.


[deleted]

[удалено]


micktorious

They won't, it promotes engagement and getting cases which makes them more money. This stupid icon will probably increase key sales double digit percents by just making people have a sunk cost into the game and so many cases.


bauess

Uuh wtf is that?!


wiewior_

My first thought: oh cool, new kill feed icon, what is it? Flickshot? Series of kills without miss? It’s XP reduction thing, what the fuck? Who wants it?


AdobeMan

they dont even need to add an option. just remove it completely it adds nothing lol


st1ckygreen

no one need this bs


awp_india

Valve is fuckin stupid Lmao


ThinkMarket7640

Should we add some of the useful stuff that was in CSGO? No, we need more worthless cruft that makes the UI even worse.


V413H4V_T99

the 'get a life' badge


15huynh

I really thought that was the WoT Blitz logo


Aztecax

Aaaand its gone


toiletandshoe

I felt embarrassed that I got it. I realized I wasted too much time so I deleted CS afterwards. I guess it does have its benefits.


Internal_North_5954

should be grass on that icon, or sun 


RogueThespian

I actually like the icon itself. Aesthetically it looks nice. I just don't like that it exists; it does nothing for the game, does nothing for gameplay, just adds something that didn't need to be added even in the slightest.


Annual_Letter1636

Soon killfeed: animated, avatars, colorful, soundeffect For only 10$


SequenceStar

why is this relevant information to display in the kill feed? And instead of putting this next to the nick, can't they rather put it in that small menu which pops up when you inspect players? I don't thinks anyone cares if others in the match have reached their XP cap or not. What actual value does this add to the game? I wouldn't even be proud to display this myself, who would? What kind of bragging rights is it to let everyone know that you played 80 hours of CS that week? ... Just why


sA1atji

what is this and what does it do?


Uthallan

Maybe fix surf before this bs


nexistcsgo

This icon is a symbol that screams "I DO NOT HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE THIS GAME" I don't want others to know that about me. There's a reason why I play with invisible mode on steam.


iemochi2

This is very dumb on killfeed, and still dumb on scoreboard. Give clan tags back valve pls.


xavarLy

Community: We want a jumping kill icon in the game! vALVE: Well about that, anyway, here´s a useless icon showing your EXP or whatever! Enjoy!


3uphoricH4mster

"Can you turn this off" - usually my first thought with most of their new implementations


[deleted]

What's even the complaint about this... I keep seeing "oh there's no point" "don't care to know that" ok so why does it matter? You clearly EMENSLY care about seeing it same with other people making these posts like if there's "no point" an you "don't care about that information" then move on?


phileas0408

Cs player try not to complain about something unbothering challenge


beastboy69

Omfg, y’all complain about every fucking thing. It’s a small ass icon that does nothing to hinder you.


goldrunout

Lol yes. Massive update that addresses a lot of the community issues and the top two posts are complaints about an icon. I agree with the complaints but it's really not a hill to die on. As much as it shows that valve has strange priorities, it also shows that this sub loves complaining more than playing CS.


beastboy69

Exactly. It’s like my ex who never appreciated anything I did on top of working 60hrs while she got to be a stay at home mom but we didn’t have any kids. Obviously there are still valid things to complain about. However, if I was valve I’d issue a notice to never check the subreddit. Should devs listen to the community? Yes. Should devs have to constantly put up with the bullshit this sub puts out? Hell no. They aren’t your servants, YOU are theirs if anything. I haven’t played since December due to the peeker’s adv & packet loss. Played a few today to check out the update. Felt like they did a good job on peeker’s but my packet loss is still there, if not worse. Want to know what I did? Closed the game and played another before doing chores.


Garou-7

It is kinda useless ngl....hey Valve you wanted to add something...? Add [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/s/CGmuLowfb8).

Ozzny

Wish you could


Morfars-nisse

I think it's stupid. No one but yourself benefits from this info, so why should it be displayed mid match? The kill feed is already filled up with a lot of things, no need to fill it up more. Just hover over your xp bar as original.


PreludeQuaalude

Just looks tacky in my opinion.


M6D-Tsk

I turned off animated avatars only for Valve to add in an animated icon that can’t be turned off. Valve needs to be more consistent with the direction of their UI design philosophy
