ADv Targeting but is it really?

[PhoenixTypeX]

I think aswell as showing the health it should have a armour bar too. Just a quick simple idea I would like :)

[Seer]

It'd be nice if I could see friendly armor levels just by looking at them too.

Your title should read "Is advanced targetting really advanced?"

[PhoenixTypeX]

Then engineers could tell who needed repairing much easier making their job more worthwhile :D

[Rayder]

It's not "Advanced Targeting" sillies, it's "Enhanced Targeting."

[SilverLord]

It should only be seen if you meet two requirements:

You have the implant active and you have CE or basic engy.

[dscytherulez]

I think friendlies armor should be able to be viewed by everyone, and then toggleable of course. Your health is, why not armor?

I also think enemy armor should be visible, but only with adv targeting on.

[Rayder]

It's not adv! >< It could only be advanced if there was a base, which there isn't.

[dscytherulez]

Yes, it is advanced. There is a basic, but there is no need for an implant. The basic is your own ability to see and fire upon the enemy. Adv targeting just gives you a bit more details. If you don't believe me:

See one thing i dont understand is it is ADVANCED targeting. Cause without it all you have is regular targeting which is just the enemys name. SO yeah w/e the devs want go's

Gee, I wonder why they named it Enhanced Targeting then.

[dscytherulez]

Since when is it named enhanced targeting?

[Ait'al]

Its advanced targeting now. But what was it before the changed it several months ago? Theyve change, or tweaked, the names of two implants that i can remember, vaguely, in like the last 6 months.

[dscytherulez]

It has always been adv targeting. It's even in the manual.

Wtf is wrong with you people? Where do you get this stuff?
:lol:

[Ait'al]

I know they changed or talked about changing regens name. and there was another one that they took off a word from the name because everyone always called it by the smaller name. I thought it was what is now known as Advanced Targeting.

[Deadlock]

in the last patch, or perhaps the one before, advanced targeting and advanced regeneration were changed... they said it was a minor change just to correct their grammer or some shit like that


... personally i could think of better ways soe could be spending their time

[321]

Yeah I agree I also think taht people with the engineer cert should see teh armor of friendlies.

[Unknown]

... personally i could think of better ways soe could be spending their time Here we go again. They already explained that all it took to change it was: Open text file, change a couple lines of text, save text file. Probably took all of 2 minutes to make the change. Maybe a total of 15 minutes of developement time if you count however long they discussed the change. Whoopdie-friggin-doo.

[SlyMarbo]

I think we should call it whatever we god d*** want and talk about more pressing matters we all know what the others mean so screw it.

[Rayder]

Silly people don't know what they're talking about... Adv. Targeting... sheesh.

[GreyFox]

Since when is it named enhanced targeting?
Same patch they changed it to not drain any stamina.

And about the Armor bar.... ATLEAST exchange the health bar on Maxes to the Armor bar... And ATLEAST show the armor bar on friendlies.

[SlyMarbo]

All in favor?
*Aye*

[PhoenixTypeX]

It would just be nice that when I'm sniping MAX's with my lancer I can see how much more it will take to kill them and it will make it easier to select targets. I'd love to be able to see a health and armor bar.

[Rayder]

Not like it matters Phoenix, 6 shots to kill a MAX, and with all the extra ammo you can waste a couple. Besides, you should be able to see their health go down, then it's only one shot.

[PhoenixTypeX]

I know but for the times when I havnt got my lancer and I only have my sniper rifle I'd like to know who to aim for or how long I've got until he dies.
