New energy shield feedback
|
I really like it, when it's small. The larger version that appears when you get more shield is quite annoying and ugly, especially since it still decreases from top to bottom instead of uniformally.

Instead of having it cover the health orb it could radiate outwards from the circumference the orb and fade away as it is depleted

Sorry, Syklonis, but that's just a poor solution; it isn't anywhere near the health globe and gives players yet another place to look.

I reduced the space that the energy shield covers slightly for the next patch. We will still look into more options for the energy shield though, so please keep suggestions and feedback coming!

I like the current bar up around the right of the health orb shown when you have a low max energy shield, but I haven't gotten to the point where it spreads over the health orb yet, though I have seen pictures. I'd prefer if it just remained the bar and didn't spread over the health orb at all, just stays the same size no matter what your max energy shield is.
We don't really need a visual representation of what our max shield is. For example, when your max health increases, the health orb doesn't change does it? Just a fixed sized bar that shows percentage remaining would suit me just fine. |

"I don't think it's so much knowing what the max is, as being able to tell easily what the ratio of shield/life is. Under the previous system, there was no visual difference between 1 max shield, 4000 max life and 4000 max shield, 1 max life if both were full, and that was a failing of the old system. I don't think the new system is perfect, but there should be some indication of the ratio. | |

I see what you're trying to do, but if players don't know their maxes, that's their own fault.

I agree Mark, I personally don't see what the fuss is all about. If one is focusing on building up the energy shield, then it eventually becomes more important than the life itself (gameplay wise). Also, I would most certainly like to know the ratio.
I really would like to know why folks don't like it the way it is |

The Energy shield is just plain amazing IMO. It makes sure that I protect my self from incoming damage by absorbing most blows then I don't sometimes need to worry about my health its necessary for my character.
I can see the first witch being made then a comment by the villagers. Villagers: KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!! Last edited by mininuked#6861 on Aug 22, 2011, 8:18:23 PM
