Need More Variety In Node Effects On Dark Sectors

[Shifted]

EDIT:

This should be in feedback. My mind went derp. Mods pls.

 

 

While I appreciate the subtle change that was done to differentiate Dark Sectors IN OPEN CONFLICT from those that are only preparing for one, it's still too similar.

 

Both are pulsing and both are red.

 

The only difference is lack of the mini explosion dots.

 

Can we please have something else?

 

Just from the tip of my mind:

 

Green, constant glow: Uncontested

Purple, constant glow, with a pulse: Challenger Deploying

Red, constant glow, mini explosions: Open Conflict.

Dark Sectors UI screen

Slides of all DS nodes, noting which are contested, which are free, which have friends/clan mates in available sessions, etc.

Bad enough that 9/10 are always contested, but you have to scour the entire map to find out the status of each.

For a future patch yeah this is a good solution and I saw it proposed in many threads, however a new UI panel can't exactly be hotfixed.

Swapping effects on nodes is much less of a pain to do, and can rather easily be put into a hotfix.
