With 1.4 I have no complaints. I actually see some great unexpected changes (Scrambler Rifle buff FTW), but I am worried about how easy it will be for me to see the health of allies.
As of right now, it still takes some effort to aim at my teammates when they are far away...and even then, I can't easily tell who is in need of help and who isnt.
I fully agree with the removal of friendly player icons from the sides of the screen, but how will this affect my ability to quickly address a situation? will I still be able to see friendlies' health when they are nearby? Or will my best bet be to find a random squad?
I tend to work alone these days...and I don't just support my squad members even if I am in a squad.
__________________________
I could be totally wrong here so excuse me if I have read the patch notes wrong...but this could be a big downside for me as a logi.
Maybe the solution would be some more icons to represent a player that is below a certain % of armor who needs reps, similar to the icon for a downed player? |

Maybe the icon would only show up if you have a repair tool equipped |

Yeah, this post isn't here to tell CCP that they should have done A rather than B, but instead to bring up a perspective that they might not have looked at.
For instance, the new system is great for assaults/heavies/scouts/sqauds who don't want blue dots cluttering up their HUD, but is bad for logistics who need to know where their teammates are at all times. |

Thank you, I would have done it myself if I had the powers that be... |

Probably because you can't repair vehicles with them... |

The best solution for this would be health bars down in the corner with your vehicle above each "dot" where a player is in the vehicle. They could also be color coded to represent who's almost dead, etc. |

Someone once suggested that the health bars should be replaced with a single health bar, shields being blue and armor being green. The biggest advantage of this method is the fact that when shields go down, it looks like a player is half dead when that really isn't the case at all...so it would eliminate any confusion about how much health a player has. For an enemy, shields would be blue and armor red.
Better yet, I also support some sort of change in icons for the different dropsuits just as we have different icons for vehicles.
For instance a heavy would maybe be two chevrons, a logi would have a small cross, assaults are one chevron, and scouts are a chevron with a dot.. |

They should really just make it an option to change how we want to view blue dots. If I want to see blue dots on my map, then I should be able to.
I can understand why they changed it for your enemies so that you only see the health of a person you're targeting, but I never had a problem with friendly health bars and such. |

I actually replaced my repair tool with a scanner, It seems to be much more help anyways, even if I don't get more points for it. |
