The Objective Direction (Wheel wequest)

(BiigDaddyDellta) #1

I brought this up in a different thread and thought it deserved it’s own. I personally think the objective wheel is a very cool fast and easy way to select (and find!) something to do mid game. Here’s my problem, when you select an objective you’re really only selecting a direction with your “wheel pointer” based on a 360.

When the objectives change add or subtract they move about the wheel to make more room or possibly into some order of importance, the point is your pointer still remains in the same direction as it was before so midway to something you wanted to be doing your objective will switch on it’s own and you can get lost or just no understand what you were supposed to do anymore.

So what I’m asking is this, can we make and adjustment to that when you’re using the wheel you to highlight and objective you’re actually picking THAT objective and not a direction where something on the wheel is pieced in?

Haven’t seen this happen myself (yet).

What platform is this? I’m on PS3 - admittedly, I’m mostly an Operative who’s changing objectives pretty fast, or a Medic who just sits on the primary “nobody dies” objective, so I may not have noticed because of that, but it might be a platform-specific thing too - anyone who can test it, should.

I’ll be doing so in a minute, will update here. If it does happen, it shouldn’t - that’s not cool.

I’m going to bump this topic back up because I think this is a valid issue. I’ve gotten used to switching my objectives on the fly because a new on popped in and replaced what i was doing, but I still don’t belive it should work that way. The objective mechanic still needs to be edited to select an actual mission not just a direction, please.

I’ll give a reason I suppose maybe that will help me explain myself better. Say I’m playing medic (even though this applies to all of my characters) i like to select the mission to show me all my downed fellows for the entirety of a match and complete side objectives on the fly. Yes, I will look at something directly in front of me and then press the up key to select it activeley and get the bonuses. After that I would like to be returned to the previous objective as well as while progressing through the match STAY on the objective that I selected. that’s what it should be the one WE select not the one the game selects.

There is even an option to turn this off but it’s made in valid given the objective wheels compass-like structure and the mechanic that adds the objectives into it. so I’m just saying, a little tweak would help. Thanks guys.

Here’s looking forward to the future,
