Uncomfortable with Hydroid's screen shake.

[kapn655321]

Folks may not know this, but Hydroid has a 1 and 2 ability. 😉

I love his 1.
I love this frame!
I also feel an awful sense of shame when I wish to play him as I do.
The knockdown does not stop.. thus, the screen shake does not stop.
For the whole party. =/

He's my boy, but the 'thunder' he brings is a detriment to the team.
Honestly, I don't use Hydroid in parties explicitly for this reason,
and this reason alone.

Sure, players can turn off screen shake, but I seriously don't
want to be the One Reason they have to turn off that feature entirely..
especially in the middle of a mission.

I fear putting this out there will cause people to troll with it.
..which might cause it to get resolved faster,
but could make folks resent my favorite frame.
I don't want that.
I don't want to go messing up everyone's
aim with a wobbly screen, either.

Never liked the screen shake option, it's the first one I turn off alongside motion blur. It gets especially annoying during eidolon hunts. I have a feeling most players will agree with me on this.

That feature give me lightheaded 😫 and i turn it off immediately.

If they leave screen shake on then they're masochists and if anything would appreciate the extra shaking.

I leave it on, but it's not out of masochism.
In this case, I can use it to know where my 1 is impacting without paying close attention.

Tempest Barrage in particular just needs the shake to tone down dramatically.
It's the only skill that jumps out at me as being way too much.
..unless you're deliberately ground slamming on people over and
over or something.. which is also in Hydroid's wheelhouse.

I use his 1 more than his 4 sometimes lol. Wait, he has a 2? Surely it must be super usefu.... Nah.

I don't mind the shake. I rather they iron out some of the weaknesses of his current kit and maybe just replace his 2 with something I won't forget exists on the frame I play for 90% of the content.

I don't either.

I mind causing it for other players.
No one can line up headshots ever if I keep 1 cast near us.
