Make attacks that hit you or involve you bolded

Post by Zilenan91 » 27 Apr 2016, 20:51

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So you know if you're dying or not between other combat messages that might be going on

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Death won't be cheesey because you know it's happening rather than you getting hit fading into the background fights

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): If you get hit, the message in chat is bold so it's more visible

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

A large amount of hits are already bolded, from CPR to other players being shot. When you're hurt, it's already bolded, but it's largely unnoticeable. It might be a better choice to make the text orange and bolded instead.

I got shot as a Carrier earlier today and none of the bullets hitting me were bolded so I didn't know I was taking damage because of how slow the health meter is to update

Good suggestion. 1 to it.
It's hard to know when you are actually receiving damage.

+1 helps xenos too, with places like hangar assault there's alot going on within the screen. Doesn't take much to gun you down if you're not careful.

+1 to separating effects that affect you vs. those that affect others. diffrent colors, italics, bolding... something along those lines

+1, bolding your name on either side would make it even better.

This is already implemented for projectiles. Other changes will take time. Resolved.
