Small Quality Life Team Play Changes (Indicators)

[JacklostIT]

I think there are 3 changes that could be simple to create (I suppose...) and can be a great help (2 of them for team play):

 

1 - an indicator (a small icon near health bar maybe) of buff and debuff that are on your warframe (maybe a rhino buff your damage, but... what is that orange aura near you? for how many seconds does it last?).

It could so be useful if an indicator (maybe wih timer) tells you what is going on ^^

2 - varius tipe of signals to indicate different things and not only the with cubic symbol.

Maybe you can hold a key (default "G" and then you can click on a small menù with 3-4 type of signals of different colour, something to say: ehi, there is a rare mod, or, come here to help, there is a stalker on me, or run away etc etc... there is a similar thing in moba like lol for example).

 

3 - it could be usefull if there is a menù where you can read what marks are on you (griner or corpus or stalker; kjust to let you know it and maybe the %)

 

Sorry for english mistakes ;-)

Rhino roar is already telegraphed by a glowing outline around you. It lasts as long as the buff from the ability does.

The mark thing is decent I guess, but simply placing a waypoint and typing a word in chat kinda serves that purpose

On that note, placing a waypoint on a mod will mark it as a mod, so there is that too

Finally I believe that something akin to a mark log is coming at some point in the future, as it is a highly requested feature.

Teammates don't know how long their party member's buffs last on themselves. Adding a buff icon with a countdown, similar to the icon and countdown shown when you are on fire, poisoned, etc, would help a great deal.

1. Yes please yes

 

2. Meh. Emotes are suppose to come so this is kinda already solved... (also if you do mark the waypoint right on a mod the waypoint becomes a MOD waypoint)

 

Just a little tip, its gimmicky but its their. :) Same with enemy, if you put a waypoint on a enemy it becomes a Red waypoint...

 

3. This is coming next update. (This week hopefully)

1.yes i agree. even if i know what the aura on me i would like to know how much it last and how much it will buff me.

2. that a nice idea but most of the time people just type in chat: stalker,foundry component.. but on the mod part they should do: yellow waypoint for rare mod,silver for uncommon and bronze for common instead of just "MOD" waypoint.

3. i think they are working on something like that. took that from rebbeca's twitter

1) See it in various games, but the one I play where it is common is Star trek Online.  However, theirs is very tiny and needs a mouse over.  Often times I can't mouse over those because I am busy in battle.  That's the only inconvenience unless you memories what the icons are.  It's a good idea nonetheless.

 

2) This probably needs more careful thought.  Perhaps if each of the items have a name hover above them, but this feature can be toggled and/or optioned for off or on.

 

3) I don't know how people would know if someone is marked when joining or being a part of a team, but during a mission it would be useful if some 'marked for death' icon hovers above whatever warframe the marked player is using.  Like for Stalker it's a red and black head that looks like Stalker's head, G3 with grinner colors, and so on.
