Index Of "little Things". Small Suggestions Done By The Community.

[Renan.Ruivo]

Hello everyone!

In favor of helping the developers get a faster way to spot small (and sometimes tiny) changes that are suggested by the community but that would help a lot with the game, i have searched roughly 15 pages of this sub-forum to make this indexed list of threads.

I will try to keep it updated with more threads as people write them. Remember that we are looking for things that, at least to us mere players, should be easy tweaks or changes and not stuff that would require weeks of coding.



(04/01/2014) UPDATE: Given the success of the idea, i'm going to go ahead and ask people to also post their own "little things" ideas on this thread as well (just as you have been doing). So i'm going to enclose the simplest suggestions on this post in Spoiler Tags since the list is growing, and am going to categorize the suggestions as well.

Any QoL (quality of life) improvements that you proposed anywhere on the feedback sections. Post a link for it here on this thread, but remember that we are looking for small stuff (Think that "Showing Titan Extractor Health at Deploy screen" is probably a whole lot easier to implement than "Creating a cover system from scratch")

(20/01/2014) UPDATE: As a way of helping with not only indexing the ideas but also making sure that they are succinct suggestions, i'd like to request everyone to include a quick sentence to summarize their suggestions before or after the actual suggestion. A TL;DR of sorts. For examples, simply look at how everything is listed here.

Thanks!

Added more thingies! "Titan Extractor Health On The Deploy Screen" implemented on 11.7.0

[noveltyhero]

Hmm, could you add a simple idea. Cooldown display for our abilities (i.e How long until my invisibility runs out) for the new HUD.

Added :)

[Renan.Ruivo]

Updated the thread.

[MaxiTB]

Maybe disabling scanner for already max scanned items in the codex ?

 

It's really annoying if you have a stack of items or you want to expand your codex and you can't identify an enemy from a distance and just waste a scan/time, especially when you try a stealth approach.

 

Additionally: Scrollbars are not working correctly in the UI (at least not in combination with filters).

[Zap15]

Can there be a mention for an option to hide damage numbers?

[MaxiTB]

Oh, and I forgot:

 

An option in the settings for cutscenes:

(1) Never

(2) Show once [default]

(3) Always

 

That would be awesome cause I'm pressing 99% space just to skip the same cinematic at mission start over and over again.

[Renan.Ruivo]

Sure, all added :)

- Adding more variety to sounds for individual enemy units, especially robots. (e.g. Shockwave MOAs will have different sound effects from regular MOAs, etc.)

If something's right behind you and about to attack, the different sound effects could notify you which unit it is so you can react without having to wheel the camera around first. Recycling old MOA sound effects could be a good start here.

That's a good idea, sure. 

 

However that probably takes a lot more work than the other little things hehe. Pretty sure that they are working on it already though. (You could always PM DEGeorge though)

[CaveCricket48]

Option to disable using the Space key to perform the climb-over action.

Gwon-Gwah!

'i'm sorry, what?'

Gwon-Gwah!

'uhh'

Gwon-Gwah!

 

 

 

sliders to set the Strength of Depth of Field, Motion Blur, Bloom - and a slider for the response time for Depth of Field.

those should be pretty simple to implement. if Digital Extremes didn't think of that ever while writing the core of the engine, and those technologies are only 0% or 100% :v it's not our fault, that's for sure. moo.

[noveltyhero]

Another point: When able to claim the resource drone, add a button to claim the resources and the drone itself. So something like "Call back and collect"-However just "Collect Resources+Drone" is better.

[Stuifiee]

Option to turn elements of the HUD off individually.

[Renan.Ruivo]

Added a few more to OP :)

[DCypherThis13]

I'm no programmer, so I don't know how much work it would take, but a simple "READY" button in the lobby would be nice. Just in case you need to change your load out or discuss strategies.

[CaveCricket48]

Remove purchasing from the arsenal.

I have a thread on this.

 

Need to update it at some point.

[CaveCricket48]

Manually select host.

[taiiat]

Manually select host.

wow, we forgot one of the biggest ones.

 

a preference setting for the matchmaking and match choices. 

to either prefer to host, or prefer not to host. 

 

how did we forget this one.

 

 

 

edit:

oh, and on that unstuck command, it could actually work if using it would also send a report automatically to a database on where the player got stuck, what equipment, location in tile, etc, yadda yadda. then everyone wins. we can fix the places you can get stuck, but also get out of being stuck in the first place.

Yeah hehe i saw that one. But if i may say, those aren't exactly little things to change. A lot of what is listed there would take an entire update development cycle to implement.

It's not exactly about little issues, but more of a congregation of things big and small put into little, digestible chunks. I didn't know what else to call it.

Gotcha. Yeah this list is aiming to gather really small things (at least from my experience in dealing with dev) that can be implemented/changed in under a week.

[shut]

I'm not sure if this is a "little thing", but fixing some currently-broken game mechanics would be lovely. Including:

 

- Toxic clouds left behind by dead Toxic Ancients and certain Crawlers (clouds are left behind VERY rarely, and are often glitched to be invisible on the occasion that they actually work)

- Staggering due to Rollers and Runners (neither enemy staggers nor has a role in the game at the moment)

- etc.

Edited December 26, 2013 by SortaRandom

[CaveCricket48]

Staggering from exploding Infested Runners put back in.
