AdunSaveMe Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I know we haven't used it yet, but I saw no mention of this in the devstream and I just wanted to make sure the possible issue was at least raised for consideration, in referral to the 'drain sound' you get when latching onto walls that determines how long you can stay on. The problem with this is if there isn't any sort of visual queue, deaf players or the hearing impaired in general will have a hard time. I'm not deaf myself but I do have some trouble, and I know a lot of things can be hard to pinpoint even for people who just have a slight problem with hearing, like gunfire direction. If there's something planned around this, ignore this post. If not, there probably should be, for the same purpose as colourblind options. edit: I'd suggest an option to show a bar for the time. It could be something that just replaces the stamina bar, but shows airtime and latch power left, for those who can't hear the sound or just want more specific information on it.

The66Monkey Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 well i play music and have WF down low (sry sound team) so probably wont hear it but i think after a few days of playing around with it we will be able to estimate our hangtime without needing the audio que. See it as support for those who want to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampirePirate Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 All they have to do is put in a timer somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
