Thread: Suggestion in Regards to Concussion Shot
... Just Kidding folks.
Actually, I was wondering if there was any way the Smuggler correspondant could ask the devs if they could change the way concussion shot displays. Currently the word +ROOT+ pops over someone's head and the particle effects are the same as a root. As a smuggler who is constantly trying to get people to STOP BREAKING MY DANG MEZZES it would be really nice if they could easily distinguish between the two.
Perhaps blue, or green particle effects and the word +MEZ+ or +DAZE+ over top? I'm just wondering if this would be possible, and if anyone else would find this useful. Thanks.
Actually I'm finding the new mez ablities pretty darn useful, especially against ranged targets that add in encounters except 2 big pet peeves:
1) the word +Rooted+ is confusing to other players and they tend to whack at your now mezzed target and unmez it. I'm getting sick of explaining the new things, and trying to explain how it's different from a pistoleer root and just how the heck they're supposed to know the difference.
2) ok, panic shot is a nice backup, but theres no way at all for people to see that the thing is dazed, especially since it's moving and often following a group member around. This is nearly useless in a group and is 100% guaranteed to be broken every time in its current form.
Anyone else with me on these?
I agree on both of your people's posts.
I think +DAZE+ is more appropriate. It is also sucky how many players break your mez, but oh well
