Game Mechanics post-death view

much like dark souls-esque games, have the player's vision linger in the place they died for a few seconds with a you died message

some attacks enemies do (primarily heavy explosion is the most clear example) will just straight up kill you without knowing exactly what happened. the hitbox comes out before any visuals do, and the player is instantly teleported back and thus unable to see what actually happened.

if the player's view lingers for a bit after they die, they might be able to see what killed them and understand what exactly happened.



also it gives a few moments for the death to really sink in, so they can think about all the mistakes they've made in life

I like this idea

 

Bonus points if it says YOU DIED across the screen to really rub it in.

 

Maybe add like a /toggle setting for this but otherwise +1.5.

 

and it played circus music

 

This would require a huge amount of work for probably one or two individuals on the CT (if you're reading this you can hire me smile) but getting a chat message naming the attack that could you would be really huge and let players learn and adapt to their deaths.

or even just the mob would be nice

Better yet if it says “player kicked the bucket” it should actually show you kicking a bucket.
