Crusher makes a very loud noise when charging

Post by driecg36 » 17 May 2017, 13:33

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Crushers make a very loud noise when they initiate their charge (can be heard as far away as a queen screech) so there it at least some reliable telegraph for off screen charge.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Having their be an auditory warning to crusher charges would make off screen charges a little more tolerable/avoidable without nerfing them excessively. Just something to make a marine go "oh shit, I need to take cover."

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Currently, crushers make a lot of noise, but the noise is extremely localized. In this suggestion, the charging roar/stomping (whatever is decided upon) could be heard from off screen in advance. With adding new sounds, there's always the potential of abuse, but since crusher chargers can't be spammed and is an extremely powerful ability, much like queen screech, the benefits would out weigh the downsides.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): The devs working on sounds being heard from further away, so just making the crusher roar at the beginning of a charge louder and function in this new system should be enough to implement this.

They actually roar when charging.

They roar towards the middle/end of their charge. Sometimes making it impossible to avoid but scary to hear either way.

I never actually hear the crusher until its way too late. I mean a loud, easy to hear roar when they start their charge that you can hear from a good distance away.

Please, do it. Make crusher's steps louder as well. They're nearly silent right now when charging from off-screen.
