Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I'll make this short, the new visual makes most colors impossible to use, it blocks my entire vision. What was so wrong with the old one? It was perfect before. Not to mention the new added sound which makes it even more annoying... I am certain I am not the only who thinks this. What was the point of changing this anyway? Man.. I never beg, but please.. revert this change, it actually ruins half the enjoyment of this wonderful gun.

PoisonHD Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Everyone on Steve's stream was freaking out over how good it is, and I believe it's great. If you want to use it with certain colors, just turn down the effect intensity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 How much are you gonna bet that literally everyone who praised it doesn't use it actively? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny5five Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 There is a new graphical option in the menu to turn intensity up and down. Try that it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Nah I don't believe you. Why would it even be better? Because of unnecessary effects that block vision while also making an extra, annoying sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others have to as well. It's great to see enemies erupt in masses of particles when you hit them, and when it clears they're lying dead on the floor.

Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 So you love it when you can't see anything? Gotcha. Makes a lot of sense. And also, corpses disappear and don't just fall down on the floor. Guess I was right about you not using the Plasmor too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you use it? I had it happen just messing around in the simulacrum earlier, and the point still stands that I love seeing the enemies disappear in a mass of particles.

Peazo Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 The new arca visuals are ridiculous. With rhino stomp and any short range firing, I'm blinded in a wall of particle fog. I'm playing on a lower resolution which i prefer and it's an eyesore. The old wave affect showed more depth in terms of distance. Now its a billion particles which makes how far the weapon is firing look inaccurate. Turning the visual slider down affects more than just the weapon, with the firing still not looking that great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, you get literally blinded. It's kinda sad, I got a nice riven not too long ago, I might drop the weapon entirely, this is just unacceptable for me in every way possible.

Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I think I am getting motion sickness for the first time ever in a video game... And this.. this isn't even all of it. The WHOLE screen gets covered in the energy color, mainly when I shoot an enemy that is standing in front of my face.. but why did this even become a thing? This is actually making me mad and sad at the same time.. of course they had to do something unnecessary like this... Effect intensity doesn't help at all.. even on the lowest settings.

It has a ton of bugs that don’t occur in missions. What you’ve shown is that it happens in the simulacrum, you have not shown that it happens in mission.

It does, it disrupts my stealth runs, I can go record an exterminate and have it happen >.> It's just easier in the simulacrum to get a ton of enemies grouped @Karu-QW I just recorded part of an Adaro run where it happened, I'll show that too.

Johnny5five Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 For the record I do like the new sounds it makes, but the particle explosions could use some toning down. Ask nicely and they might do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfam Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Effects definitely seem way overdone, even with a subtle energy colour, but personally I really hate the cartooney trail of smoke rings it leaves behind. This really just looks plain stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess overtuned particle effects are one way to reduce its popularity. The enemies around where I shot? Did you read what I said earlier, I want them to disappear in particles which is exactly why I have intensity on 200 and Particles on Ludicrous, and the lightest blue-white energy color I could find.

Especially slam attacks on some melee cover the whole screen right now. I am not a kid who gets amuzed by a lot of "blink blink" , especially if the overall useability goes down. Then turn your effect intensity and particles down, there's a slider for a reason. I was just pointing out that I have all my settings cranked to make the biggest flashes.

Rhyandra Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 This kid.. incredible. Not reading posts and then acting like I am ignoring obvious stuff. This discussion is over. And as I know DE, they won't change anything. They went way overboard with this and I will probably throw this weapon into the trashcan. I don't play games to become blind.
