Post Ideas for appearance of vision modes.

maybe nv should work as some form of sound amplification / tracking. atm there's no need to use nv at all, and i'm against nerfing tv.

What about replacing NV with NV+infrared cones from cameras + easily spotting mines/spytraps?

[goodkebab]

A lot of potential their Daybreak,  we really need to try and make this game much more different in appearance.   MT should look different,  EMF as well....Thermal should have different effects.

etc etc.

Thermal could be an all red vision, but hot/warm things like mercs or lasers show up in all white.  Infrared.

Night vision could stay since it is pretty standard in any game really, with the same look it has now.

I really like the ambient occlusion looked for motion tracker, that would look sweet and it would be much different.

I just got two friend coupons from my brother in Corruption this will let me take screen shots. I'll see if i can get some screen shots of the x-vision and such.

There is really nothing wrong with NV or thermal. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I think that Echo Vision has good potential as a replacement for NV if it brightens things up enough to see as easilly as NV does. Add in distortions around mines and spy traps that are only rendered in the vision mode so when it's on you can SEE a distortion wave emitting from around a corner where a mine is. Shouldn't change things much as most of the time you see or hear them anyways; would just look damn cool and provide useful at times I'm sure. Lasers emit low level freq don't they? If so then the laser beam on a laser mine could produce a linear distortion with a small distortion emission along it's length and circumference. Minor enough to retain the beam shape of the laser.

Why do we need NV/"echo vision" to do the same thing that thermal does? Equipment function overlap should be kept to a minimum. That's why no one uses flares -- their function overlaps with inherent functions on the merc, so there's no point to wasting a gadget slot on them.

seeing lasers in nv is stupid. the only way of boosting nv is nerfing tv range (which sucks) or giving nv some new abilities.

If thermal were replaced by Xray you could have lasers invisible in Xray. No real balance issue there.

How about spy vision which allows you to constantly see from the point of view of your mate (fpp)

[frvge]

That's original.

Would affect balance, but it'd probably fix the non-mic-using partner and you'll be vulnerable. Interesting.

[goodkebab]

I really like the echo vision added to NV as a cool factor.

And how about this,  if you want to do team chat, you look into your  opsat and see your partners view in 
a small window.  This would be the new team chat,  and mercs would have a varient of it as well. -kind like players text messaging.

i really like the echo thing with proxis around corners

Nah, i prefer to rely on hearing instead of spamming the display with info about pretty much everything.
