| Re: Uh, what's with the vehicles? | |

In Response To: Re: Uh, what's with the vehicles? (Gravemind) : I appreciate that vehicles have their own "health" independent of : player's — it's something I've been arguing for for years —, and I : appreciate their HP being increased from the beta. Still, I agree that : there needs to be a damage meter. "Common sense" or subtle : visual cues are no substitute for direct measurements of critical, : need-to-know information, especially in the chaos of battle. Knowing : whether you can still afford to take a few extra bursts of plasma or are : only a single AR round away from having your ride erupt into a fireball is : a matter of life or death in the game. As others have pointed out, it'd be : like playing with no shield and health bar, almost as if you had a partial : Blind Skull activated. Sure, you can use "common sense" as well : as audio cues (beeping that indicates "shields low/down," : buzzing that indicates "shields charging") when Blind is on, but : most of us would rather have an actual shield gauge as standard, saving : Blind for optional challenge. Being denied essential information about the : status of one's self and equipment is something undesirable, regardless of : whether it's single player or multiplayer. Meters on teh screen confuse casual gamers.
