Anariell Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) The mods don't glow anymore when other squad members haven't picked them up yet, making it hard to mark or find them. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not but it is really lame . Btw i'm not sure if this is the right section for posting this :/ Edited June 8, 2013 by Anariell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FateZero Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Have also noticed this, makes it hard to mark mods for teammates after I've picked them up :/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirdan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I agree. It realy makes it hard to play, especially defense missions. I hope this is a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey1779 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Someone in my Endless Defense noticed this, it is a real pita. I hope this is a bug in the patch because if it isn't it turns what was a gentleman's agreement for marking mods people had not picked up into a dog eat dog get your own and F*** the rest of the squad members over ordeal.

Cirdan Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Like it is not hard enough to find mods when playing Online with Speed players... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon357 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I think it has something to do with fixing the bug that displays the ammo box markers after you've picked them up. Seems like a similar thing. I can kinda get the problem, but setting down a waypoint in the general vicinity of the mod always seemed to work in groups I've been in. I mean, if you set down a waypoint, it's something to be picked up, right? Materials or mods, you probably want both, so what's the big deal?

ElectiDei Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Sometimes in Defense missions you get the mod while killing, waypoint, and the waypoint wears off by the end of the wave. You have also moved around in this time and now forget where the mod is. So your team has to go walk around in circles attempting to find the thing lost in a corner. This is frustrating, coming from someone that basically only plays with a group of friends with an external voice-chat program, and we yell mods out every time we get one. Just played 10 or so defense missions, and it was a hassle to make sure everyone got every mod. Just making them sparkle again when someone has missed it would be nice.

utxjgthedon Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yes I have also noticed this. Kind of a bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.PiTHON. Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I don't like this change either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaweru Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm in agreement that I don't like this change. I hope it was an unintended side-effect of the ammo on the ground/tag indicators (which I didn't care/mind really). The inability to still have the glow/sparkles really makes it harder on fellow teammates. I like how you can be helpful to teammates and inform members that someone had missed a certain mod.

unmog Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Bad choice on DE to remove this "bug" but not include any, better methods, to serve the same purpose. Very bad choice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulie Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 This has to be an oversight. That would be pretty daft of them to remove a feature like this on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkSpectre Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I would hope they did this by accident. But, either way it is annoying. I would love to see them bring back the mods glowing through walls that we had for a very short time, I think it was before open beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunaticked Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I would love to see them bring back the mods glowing through walls that we had for a very short time, I think it was before open beta. I think it only lasted between two hotfixes. It was fantastic while it was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypherdiaz Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 As said above, think this was an OOPS caused by the ammo display change. At least I am hoping it is an OOPS. "Mod here" versus "Theres a mod..somewhere..close to me" is..problematic. I am a space ninja..not the mod-psychic damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcarusNine Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It always seemed like a bug. But, like when mods glowed blue through walls, it was also a better feature than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypherdiaz Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Personally i think the mods need a giant glowing pillar of light and a mark on the minimap to show where they are to each player (individually. IE: I dont want to see said pillar and mark after i pick it up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsmeha Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The ammo glow never bothered me much, but it sucks that you can't warn your party anymore that someone missed a drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butyllithium Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Furthermore, despawn timer of mods has been reduced significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takage-EGT- Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Don't like it eigther, please fix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RysioSnajper Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I hope this is just a bug, because it's really annoying to miss mods, especially on T3 defense... -_- IMO there is a giant need for fixing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
