Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 90	Posted - 2012.12.02 07:34:00 - [1] - Quote Not sure if this was mentioned before though it wouldn't suprise me but... When I get dropped in place by you people and some awesome logi comes over and picks me up I would like to know who it was if they're not on comms. Something like: "Max Logi injecting" on the HUD while I'm staring off into the bright white light coming at me. This would help the logi with reputation as people would see how much they help out... Kind of like a personal heal feed instead of a public kill feed. I would like to see some notification you are being repaired as well. Same as above just not in the middle of the screen. I know you can watch your armor going up I would just like to know who's doing it without needing to turn around (away from enemy) and point my weapon (flagging the hell out of) at the person helping me out. Okay so it doesn't need to be a logi strictly speaking... Thoughts?
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.12.02 08:03:00 - [2] - Quote For repair indicators, I've repeatedly requested a blue (or other coloured) version of the damage indicators to show the direction of incoming healing.
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 90	Posted - 2012.12.02 08:18:00 - [3] - Quote If I would've known that I would've quoted, linked or added to that/those threads... Didn't mean to steal your idea Garrett. Sorry. I just recently found a crew to run with, with comms, and they're going to spec into logi which got me thinking about this.

Don't feel like you're stealing... it was AGES ago. And even back then, I was building my idea from suggestions made by others. It was never really "my" idea in the first place, I was just one of the suggestions for how to make it work.
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 90	Posted - 2012.12.02 14:01:00 - [6] - Quote So given the number under your name and the fact you went all yellie... yelly... yell... capitals with the ages, your saying you've been through most of this before? You know... people plagiarizing... and saying the same thing over and over and over... Still I try to give recognition where it's due. And you always seem to have a good thought process on issues. There are a few people on the forums that get my brain matter sloshing about. You happen to be one of them... Though from me to you if we had the same idea you may want to seek some help if your thinking like me. Back to the issue at hand. What ideas for display locations, colors etc. would people prefer? How about a notification sound as well for the repper? Nothing overbearing, just something you could hear as your armor is reknitting and reassembling, if for nothing more than immersion? That would be down the line maybe with an expansion?
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 1849	Posted - 2012.12.02 14:59:00 - [7] - Quote I'm already provably insane (and have spent some years on medication for it), so I'm getting the right kind of help on that side of things. Also, I think for repping, the sound you get is enough if they pair it with a directional indicator on the HUD. It's quiet, but you CAN hear a friendly Repair Tool working when you're close - whether you're the target or not. It's easier to pick when you know what to listen for (I do, because I run several Repair Tool fittings across my 3 characters). I definitely think we need a better indication of what's happening and when in regards to Nano Injectors though. As much as the game did so many other things wrong, I have to mention Brink as a great example of EXACTLY how to do revival notifications. When there's ANYONE on your team who has the ability to revive you, they're marked on your HUD while you're down. The closest player with a revive ability also has their distance from you marked. If there's someone with the revive ability equipped, but without the necessary supplies (regenerating resource in Brink, used to power all your abilities), they show up in a different colour, and the nearest player with the ability AND the supplies to use it is also marked clearly with their distance shown on-screen. If they aren't in line of sight, the marker for the nearest capable medic is shown at the edge of the screen closest to where the player/bot is. Probably the best equivalent for DUST would be to make the "Hold on - Triage Unit Detected" message come up with a second line that tells you the distance to the nearest Triage-capable teammate, and preferably also mark them on your HUD. If possible, this would (as it does in Brink when the player is close) also show the player's name. I'm quite a fan of the "personal healing feed" idea - when being repaired, you could get a private feed saying "Logi Bro (Repair Tool) Your Name" - in appropriately team-friendly colours. P.S. i use caps for emphasis more than yelling. I go through a lot of different forums, several of which don't have formatting options to turn things bold or italicise them, so I've gotten used to not relying on such options. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression with that.
Khal V'Rani Nephilim Initiative 90	Posted - 2012.12.02 16:23:00 - [8] - Quote I've never heard anything from the repper while being repaired (the two or three times it happened to me...under fire...) For injectors, So the Brink concept sounds good. Everyone knows who has what and where, assumably one might be able to tell how long it would take to get to the person needing help by distance indicated. Battlefield conditions notwithstanding, Add a bleed out timer to judge if you (or they) could make it in time and then we might have people waiting to get picked up instead of automatically hitting respawn... Now THAT sounds like a solid system to me. Speaking of hitting buttons, we only have two to hit while down, "ask for help" and "respawn" correct? Maybe adding a third for "stay away" or "wait" or "too dangerous" or something of that nature could also ease some of the pains of the logi's trying to run across a potential hail of gun fire only to either get cut down themselves or, more often by the sound of it, get there just as the individual falls to ashes. It would also provide a bit of intel as to what sort of situation the logi would be running into. Perhaps not so important for those with mic's but for all those who don't it provides them the ability to communicate in a meaningful and relevent way to the situation, albeit in a limited manner. Off topic @ Garrett - I was just messing around and being a bit of a sarcastic a** inbetween the 's. Except the brain sloshing thing. I meant that. I do the capital thing to emphasize as well, as 99% of the stuff I post on the forums is from my phone and it's just easier to do THAT then select the options up top then, using my sausage fingers, try and pin point the cursor inbetween the tags. So no worries man. No wrong impression here.
Stile451 Red Star. 76	Posted - 2012.12.02 18:22:00 - [9] - Quote We definitely need something with a distance and arrow marker for downed teammates. I like the blue healing indicator as well. I don't care if people know who I am when I revive/repair although I am grateful when they jump thanks when I'm done.
Colonel Crow Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 2	Posted - 2012.12.02 19:08:00 - [10] - Quote +1 Should have been in before x is hacking y... Well maybe not but still needs to be added in some form that doesn't clog the HUD

Kainus Reeves Villore Sec Ops Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.12.02 19:09:00 - [11] - Quote Yes jumping thanks is great..Until a sniper says wow look at that moron saying : here i am shoot me come on do it do it now (arnold scwarznegger predator type voice) For players who dont use mics or even do its still nice to be like ex..The Duke Revived Eastwood. as little something nice for those that play the medic role and perhaps look more towards that side of aiding their squad and team. Me personally so far i dont get alot of kills but i blow up alot of vehicles and work towards an objective of deffend an area or hacking destination objective. And theres rarely a match where someone is there to Revive you and when it happens its like awesome someone came to my aid. SO to all those who revive me in the future haha Many Thanks.
