[Proposed] ESF UI Changes

Pella · 2013-02-08, 01:39 PM

Here are 2 things i would like to see when flying ESF's in 3rd person view

ui/hud

1: Is a Lock on Indicator in 3rd Person view while flying
2: An After Burner display.

Im sure allot of Pilots would like to see these added.

I'm pretty sure they're on the dashboard of the cockpit of your ESF...

In your case, here it is:

It's in the middle, on the upper section. And the lock on should appear in big red letters in the middle of your screen, along with a loud BEEP BEEP BEEP noise that repeats itself.

Yes now. Press T when flying in 3rd person view as pictured and you cant see it....

Derp

Oh yeah, I didnt see the "3rd person view" thing xD anyways but yeah, it's not gunna happen. They will just strike it down with the Ban Hammer...and I can't see the picture, it's just a white box with a red X. But then again, I'm using a school computer xD

Um. The draw back to third person is that you have zero information from your cockpit displays.

It should stay that way.

True, But when do you ever look at the cockpit? AB display is bugged. And AMMO is already displayed on the HUD.

Well you may look at it to check if your flares are ready. But that doesn't warrant your point.

When I am flying, or dog fighting, or need info about my aircraft and its armament?

Obviously you don't fly enough to comprehend or even make suggestion's on this concept.

Honestly what is it with people giving feedback on things they have absolutely no experience or simply no idea what there talking about??

Yes, The best pilots maneuver in 3rd person view. Gives you a much bigger vision on where there enemy is heading.

I dunno! you made the thread!

But seriously, No. You want info, use the cockpit like a real pilot.

Here is the concept: You want info that is supposed to be resigned to first person only, in a First person shooter, that begrudgingly added 3ed person for vehicles only, in any view you want.

Response: No.

I think using 3th person view would be op if we have the suggested HUD. No one could use first person anymore because it would be a huge disadvantage. I like 1th p. because it is way more immersive. Therefore, i dont like the idea.

I am not going to Entertain you on it. When you understand the mechanics of flying in Planetside 2. Then i will take your suggestion seriously. Until then, head over to the official forums and post your feedback with the rest of the people who have no idea.

So, you got nothing to further your idea in the face of disagreement. Got yah.

EDIT: Lol @ Edit. Not going well over there either is it?

Look, its not a bad idea, however. Its an idea that was already Nixed. It does not jive with the game, or the idea of a FPS.
