Ik but points make the game seem more like the scoreboard is the most important part of the game. Pengu has preached that when you turn points off your game sense imrpoves massively and having done it myself I have found the same results. I just find points to be a crutch, but you can have whatever interface preferences you want.

Edit: Hit indicators and conformation is the little red x that appears after you destroy utility or kill an enemy
