Oversized Hats #231

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

Some hats can hide a person's hands, when they cook a grenade.

To be specific, I mean hats which extend a little over a character's body. The grenade is barely visible, due to the hat. Now if you were to use a sticky grenade, which is even smaller, it would be worse. Screen recording 2023-10-18 7.03.49 PM.webm

It's intended

If it is intended, it certainly shouldn't be.

I would argue, however, that the better solution here would be to create a separate icon for a cooked nade. Even without a hat, sometimes it's just impossible to tell if a grenade is being cooked, and if so, which type.

I believe the best idea would be to keep hats from hiding grenades, by simply keeping them from towering over your hands, just rework them to be smaller in terms of the front.

I don't know what and how exactly a 'separate icon' would work in terms of alerting other players about grenades.

I think you are referring to offscreen nades, which are quite an issue. However, if the range of frag was to be nerfed, it would be underpowered. Maybe sticky grenades's range could be reduced, because it is quite far, compared to frag.

Redrawing dozens of hats? Good luck convincing the developer to do that

An icon hovering near a player who is cooking the grenade. Layered on top of the skin layer so even if there is overlap, the icon is still visible, drawn on top of the skin

No, i'm referring to not being able to properly see someone cooking a frag when they are on my screen. Even if they are wearing no hat. Some gloves blend in with grenades too well, for example

I don't believe there's that many, there's like 6. Besides, that's not the dev's job, its the artist's job.

Good luck getting the dev to add that.

Which gloves? For example what? I don't think there''s any gloves that do that.
