_Anise_ Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Its a game, I can't irl feel my weapon and when it is pulled from me, so when an enemy does knock the weapon from my hand I either have one of 2 things happen ... 1/ I moved 400 meters and realize my gun is on the floor somewhere at the other end of the map! (there is nothing to distinguish if this is your gun or a friends or the hostage, to me it just looks like a blue marker) or ... 2/I click nothing happens, "I must be reloading" i click again and still nothing, then the confused realization that I have been standing around for 5 or 6 seconds and my gun is on the floor and I die because I am not killing stuff. Realizing I am disarmed in middle of explosions that are making my screen shake and flooding with particles frantically run around spamming X (pick up gun) which is now also performing mercy kills on things around me before I finally find and collecting my gun. In something like an open world survival game that is striving for some realism then sure this mechanic would be right at home but in a fast paced game like warframe this mechanic feels super slow and bad to me. Anyone else have thoughts on this mechanic? Edited May 2, 2020 by _Anise_ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I have seen this icon appear while still having my primary so I guess possible my secondary was accidentally dropped? anyway it reinforces my point in #1 you can run and jump and glide and be half way across the map before pressing to realize your primary weapon is missing. either way my points stand, this mechanic seems confusing and is too slow a mechanic for warframes fast pace.

_Anise_ Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) sorry I got confused, I thought you were saying it was currently this way? I was just on a mission and I saw my squad member drop his weapon, it was marked on my screen with a blue marker, I could hear he was using the arcaplasmor before and could clearly see its model on the floor next to the marker 😃 he left his weapon where it landed ran to the exit no cares were given, but in a squad of 4 there's like no way I know who dropped what gun even if it was my own! #confused honestly I think the whole disarm mechanic should be replaced by something not quite as jarring maybe gun jam mechanic or maybe they could add yet another grind for a "weapon chain" similar to popular mmo's do to "opt out" of this mechanic Edited May 2, 2020 by _Anise_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uthael Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The disarm is a nice touch. I'd like it to stay in the game. For the people who don't notice their gun is gone, I guess a flashing debuff icon on the right side of the screen would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)ForesakenDemize Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I'm pretty sure the Drahk masters just got a huge buff because I played for about an hour today and they stole my secondary atleast twice per mission. Insanely frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
