SnokyoDrift Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Right now, the fire/ice/lightning effect feels far more suitable to the fantasy genre. I don't understand why they didn't go for incendiary/shatterpoint/gauss or something that fits with the lore of the game. The burning/shocking effect on enemies from fire and lightning mods feels very out of place in this sci-fi shooter. The visual effect is overly large and distracting, conveying minimal information while being a major eye catcher. Instead of the massive debuff effect that makes it difficult to see what you're shooting, why not have coloured bullets to indicate the elemental status of your weapon? Even better, have a coloured canister attach to your weapon when an elemental module is equipped so that it doesn't look like the target is spontaneously combusting after being shot.

Xoxile Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 People need a visual confirmation that their effects are taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactamid Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thank you! Less WoW - more sci-fi :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzermeido Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I agree. It'll be great if elemental ammo would leave small decals with the corresponding effect around them as opposed to INSTANT BURNING. For example, incendiary rounds leaving a dark, burned penetration mark with small embers occasionally dropping off.

CloudPies Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 The amount of FIRE on an enemy is a little overkill... its very difficult to tell where the head is sometimes if you're wielding a sniper rifle. Especially against the ancient infested with the low light conditions and their heads being basically overlapping their bodies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnokyoDrift Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 People need a visual confirmation that their effects are taking place. On the target: Sparks or burn marks for incendiary, refraction effects for gauss, cracks/blue tinge for shatterpoint. While travelling: Red/purple/blue bullets On your weapon: optional canister in the colour of your mod. I don't know what to do with melee weapons. It looks way too 'warcraft-y' for me, and I play heaps of RPGs and RTSs. Right now I feel like my 66 RPM pistol is magically turning into a flamethrower with these effects. They just don't fit the visual style of the game. Hell, just give us an option to turn them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iraetus Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Whats WOW? (I really don't know) Anyways, I agree. I prefer to see a small exploding effect as to a body burning but still continues to run like nothing happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XombieNinja Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I feel as if the animations are to over the top, only when I'm dashing through a wave nd hes still dancing in the fire and by the time i get there he's still dancing but already dead. It's been the problem a few times nd caused me to waste time on defense missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vabla Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Agreed, the elemental effects are way over the top. Especially fire (which also gives the illusion of an additional DOT effect). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BETAOPTICS Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ok so if there was to be added canister somewhere to a gun or something like that, what to do when mutliple elements are installed.Besides this problem I agree on most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modded Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Yes, please tone down the effects. Sometimes it's hard to see if a guy is dead because he's burning. -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
