Neon Sign

Hi,

Get rid of it.

It gives away my position in a lot of situations.

Make it like real life and make it so if one goofs, friendly-fire happens.

I realize HTC won't do this, as to many years as, "It works!"  I imagine most here would not like it.  But, hey, this is a wish list!

Take it one more step and drop the radar, or at least make one arena under these conditions would be much more realistic.  I do see in the Scenario's, radar is off---this is good.

How exactly do you tell the difference between a rook, knight or bishop
109?  Also you can hit Alt-I and turn off the icons..so feel free to do so.

To get rid of icons, first get us a real 3d non-pixeled view on the world with real depth perception, where a 3k distant plance isn't just a mere dot on the screen.

In scenarios you have a clearly defined goal/target. In MA you haven't. So we need a kind of dar.

Hi,

Like real squadrons do, squadron id's painted on the plane, much like how squadrons within AHII have their decal on the cowl.  Instead of like now with planes of designated country paint jobs as Germany, Italy, USA. Change color schemes to Country IDs of Rook, Bishop, Knight.  This means one has to get a whole lot closer to do a visual ID.  Probably could see the difference in zoom, out of guns range.

Turning off my Icon with Alt/I will not stop the bad guy from seeing me coming when he has his turned on.

It could be done; but it won't be; the reprogramming alone would be a nightmare.  Plus the membership would whine so much about the changes.

It's a wish list...

I'm happy the way it is, not complaining one bit, even don't mind the arena caps.

ever heard of killshooter, friendly fire...

[Daubie]

No, I have not.

Please define.

Thanks.

You shoot a friendly, you get killed.

IF you could even learn every squad marking and IF you knew where every member of every squad was flying by the time you got in close enough to identify them it would be too late.

Icons are a good thing for gameplay sake.  Turn all icons off and see what your playing experience will be like!  Especially the first time you end up in a furball!

I still wish we had the old icon system but thats just a minor wish.

Press Z and hold down a bracket key untl it zooms all the way in. This is the 1:1 ratio of real life size to monitor size.

When everyone gets monitors large enough to display things that size without any reduction, we might drop icons.

You can set up a H2H room with all these features.

Make all your 'improvements' and invite some friends.

See how long they stay...lol.

Icons cannot be forced off. Their minimum range is 3k.

[Rino]

I find this a good rule of thumb concerning wishes...if it takes something
away that is already implemented, generally not a good idea.

     If it doesn't add to gameplay, why change it?

I wish the neon billboards where slightly smaller and less obvious, or perhaps less bright coloured or something. Its all but impossible to try sneak up on someone.
Mind you i remember the enormous mega neon billboards AH used to have in the beta days - way over the top!

Use the sun and/or your enemies blind spots.

It is kind of hard though.
I mean, you have this bright red icon flying at you...
