Namacyst Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Now that Rhino and Volt can buff the Team we really need buff indicators. For Volt it may not be so important because as long as you go fast you know the buff lasts.. but for Rhino there is no fing way to tell how long the buff lasts or if you are affected in the first place. Maybe add a "Shield restored" 1-3 scond buff icon for Mag's shield recharge aswell. The game is really lacking feedback on what you do/did and can do (weapon stats in particular). Imho this should be on your high-priority-ASAP-List, DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphticon Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd say probably add a kind of effect when the buff are active. Probably a glow for both abilities but different PhysX effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liminal Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Yeah I'd like some sort of icon. It would be even better if it had one of those countdown-clock-things that fill the it as the effect wears off. Edited July 4, 2013 by The_Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excitonex Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd say probably add a kind of effect when the buff are active. Probably a glow for both abilities but different PhysX effects. This would be the best way. I imagine it will happen once these changes are accepted by the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudriski Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Yeah, buff indicators are essential. Especially dmg % increase. Edited July 4, 2013 by Mudriski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'd say probably add a kind of effect when the buff are active. Probably a glow for both abilities but different PhysX effects. Add both, icons and visuals.. but then don't forget the "Show Buff visuals on/off" option in the graphics settings because some people may not like it and some people don't have the rig for more fancy glitter ingame.

I simple red glow around your hands similar to the regular energy glow shouldn't be too resource draining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wynn Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I so hope Trinity heal and energy heal become buffs and not debuff so I can use her on non boss runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liavalenth Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I completely agree Buffs need some form of visual cue as to if they are or are not active on people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesshou01 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Well, I don't have a volt but I just grouped with one and whether or not the speed effect is on you is immediately apparent. Now a timer for it might be nice, but I can't see how you need an icon or glow to tell you when it changes the camera so obviously. No idea on shout though.

Then i suggest you actually read the posts in this thread. Rhino Roar has no indication whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
