Hi folks,
Had a lot of fun this saturday night, and while playing as Proxy I kept wondering if my mine was actually still there or not. And so I’d like to have an indicator in the hud saying if my mine is up or not !
This could be applied to :
Do you approve this ? 
Absofrickinglutely!
I’ve mentioned this a couple times before, but don’t think there was ever a thread started.
Just to clarify this should be a static HUD element, similar to health and ammo, not like the floating objective icons.
Yes, just a static icon of activity for your deployable, visible only when it is actually deployed. Simple and stupid, great information to have
Some sort of indication is needed for sure.
But to what extend is still unclear. This problem cannot be handled by this poll, however.
As usual, we give feedback, propositions to correct it or bring new elements, and SD will take care of the rest.
I’d like a simple icon reprendenting the kind of deployable available on the hud, but activate it only if your deployable is … well … deployed
I voted no because knowing when a mine is gone is too fake of a way to know that someone is coming from that direction.
It was a problem in other games and it will be a problem in this game.
I am split on whether this translates to other deploy-able objects.

We have wall hacks, global location of all players on the map, 3rd eye camera, personal cloaking, heartbeat sensors, etc. and you think a hud indicator to know if your mine went off or not is too much ?
Currently the only way to know if a mine is still on is to try to place another one and you get the message that this will disactivate the old one (have you tried this ?). This indicator ALREADY exists in the game, lets just make it more accessible by having a simple hud icon turned on when your mine is still active.

Thats kind of the idea for mines.
The plan is to have a 2D HUD indicator of your currently deployed item status (not in-world IFF). Good observation, we’re on it 
thats great I have been wondering how to keep tabs on my mines. We have notifications when the barriers and other objectives are being built, giving us data on enemy activity, knowing my mine popped tells alot about people planting c4 on the barricade. Hint there probably is a mine on the baricade if I am engie.
[QUOTE=Mustang;448947]Love it when threads go like this.
Suggest, implement, BOOM next thread!

That’s the perfect world for an alpha tester, that’s for sure ^^
