AdunSaveMe Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 While I like the weapon itself and think it's both useful and really satisfying, the effect is a bit much. This thing is crazy. I have to play with bloom turned off just to actually SEE what I'm firing at, and even then it's a little difficult. Here it is in the 14.5 preview. It's a beam, real neat looking, small enough to see what you're shooting. Here it is when I got it. There's three grineer behind that beam. Might not look bad in the screenshot, but in real-time gameplay, you can't see anything. I think it was better before. It might have been similar to other beam weapons, but it looked good. It wasn't blinding. This kinda looks like something I'd expect to see in Destroy All Humans. I dunno. Any chance of it being toned down, or even reverted? Hell I'd go for an optional attachment that changes the beam, that'd be cool too. Beams aside, I like the gun. It's pretty rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalenath Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's pretty rad. Oooo, that was BAD. A radiation weapon is radical... *snicker* The visuals can be a bit much at time,. I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikiri Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Toning down the enery color to something less.. flashy.. should help alleviate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdunSaveMe Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Toning down the enery color to something less.. flashy.. should help alleviate the problem. It doesn't help much. I've tried different colours and graphics settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric1738 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) i was forced to reduce "particle system quality" to low, at least the flashy wave is gone Edited September 3, 2014 by Eric1738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealPandemonium Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have effects turned off so I didn't even know this was a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prany Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Particle effects on low here too. Turned them down since tried Amprex. Aside from fog effect on Earth tileset at night, I don't feel like I've lost much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vomder Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I was using this for the first time last night with Mirage, suffice to say, I couldn't see anything but beams. On a related note the beam does remind of the Mesmetron from Fallout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClockworkSpectre Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) As much as I love this little beast of a weapon, I also find the beam to be really over done. I would much rather have the beam that we were shown in the preview video for the weapon. Also if you watch some one fire it from the side it looks like a bubble gun.

OverlordMcGeek Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) What?! that beam looks like nothing like the beam that comes out of my nukor the one that comes out of my nukor looks like a small concentrated stream of heated air. Maybe an inch thick beam coming out of it and what you see when its really hot outside coming out of the black top. Am I bugged? I don't get that magical circle things that your screenshot gives out. Here you go; graphics are at medium and bloom is on. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198106754189/screenshot/40852351194615709 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=309606631 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=309606359 Edited September 3, 2014 by OverlordMcGeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to turn your graphics up or post pictures they explained this earlier in the thread brah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netheroc Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Toning down the enery color to something less.. flashy.. should help alleviate the problem. Also weapon customization should have NO impact on useability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble_Cactus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I like the 1950s raygun waves, but they are a bit too... prominent in actual gameplay. I'd like DE to come up with a middle ground that keeps the waves but makes them a little more subtle.

AdunSaveMe Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Dear Journal, Update; had some real meat today. Nukor beam is still big and blinding. The hopeful light of a response or further feedback continues to fade. Soon it shall be all but gone. -adunsaveme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdunSaveMe Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 i weep along side you The Gammacor has a beam that doesn't obscure vision The Nukor still has this stupid line of rings that blinds you instead of the cool S#&$ that was teased WHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomFruit Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Actually, it kinda reminds me of the Microwave from Descent 3 - microwave-based energy weapon, looks like a trail of rings, makes enemies wobble when you hit it. D3's one fired projectiles rather than a constant beam, but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
