3mptylord Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 In the same vein as the recent changes you made to grenades, can you please improve the ability to locate leeches? It could be a locator pin, or just a tether between you and the leech. I would rather it's not an audio cue (my least favourite part of Disruption), but that would still be better than what is basically nothing at the moment. I hate that the only indication that there's an energy leech is when I hear the "insufficient energy" noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaZeku Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Liches already get a waypoint, different from the one for Thralls. Mind, making that one stand out a bit more, I wouldn't say no to. ... or, wait, are you actually talking about Energy Leech / Parasitic Eximus units? If so, very big yes, those should've received proper visual indicators (and / or LOS requirements) from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasha-7HS Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Please define leaches. I'm not trying to be a jerk; there are almost a dozen enemies that fall under the general term of leach/leech. There are subspawned enemies, Deimos enemies, and eximus units all that fall into the category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not referring to a specific unit - I'm referring to an effect. As far as I'm aware "leech" is a prefix/suffix that many enemies can have - but what they do is the same, and I'm asking that they should all be given a telegraph.

Personally, I don't think they need to be any more obvious than the general aura that all eximus units have. However, an indication of their range would be appropriate. A light circle on the ground around them (similar to interception points) would fulfill both the range and location indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaggelos Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So many times i've been surprised to see my energy almost gone because the HUD gives me NO warning of my energy being drained. What with all the hundreds of things taking place on my screen, at least make it flash and a small sound effect to indicate the drain. Also, Ancient Disruptors need to be telegraphed and a way to counter them/dodge efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Muralivilla Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Personally I get to know that my energy is drained by energy leech only after not being able to cast my ability. Recently a long run ended up being a chaos when we were all energy sucked by an enemy who knows where it was, this is very problematic if they are stuck below the map/wall for god sack. Leeches have 15meter range and its difficult for us to spot and prioritise in long run. DE has to do something about this. Through waypoint/equipment/mod/focus school passive whatever will work. BTW this was requested to DE long back by someone and it went not being addressed, I don't know if they will still consider paying attention on this.

Nok-Rntha Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 People have been asking for a change like this one for years. Years Visible tethers, stolen energy/health given back after you kill the eximus, the leech ability only working when the mob has line of sight... It's crystal clear DE isn't interested in addressing this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but they've been against adding other on-screen indicators too - I was hoping that (perhaps) now was the time with all the other UI improvements they've been making lately.

Interesting. I hope they get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
