tl;dr first: More shiny shield effects, with location based hits and stuff. (very cool)
Okay, so I was showing a friend eve the other day, and whilst I was under fire he asked "where are your shields?". Proceeding to turn on my shield hardeners, I zoomed in and said "there they are!", to which he said "oh.. right."
I'm simply wondering what It would take for us to get dynamic shielding effects. I.e. when a portion of the shield gets hit, that part lights up in a shield-like fashion. Once your shields are depleted, the effect stops and weapon fire is allowed to pass through the shield as it currently does.
- Is this technically possible? (dev halp me out here?)
- Would eve players want it?
- Would it be too demanding on the client? (lag?) (It should probably have a setting to disable)
A question I also ask you people: Bubble shields? or model hugging as they are now? Personally I think weapons fire hitting a shield bubble and then once depleted, passing through to the hull would be way cooler.
Take examples from any games or movies/series that highlight what you would like to see in the game. Also welcome if you think the effect is fine as it is.
A few of my examples listed below of what I would love to see.
Sins of a solar empire shield hits.
Stargate shield effects

Okay, so post vids/pics of what you would like to see in eve then. Also, I know the V3 project will allow this sort of thing to be possible. Whether it gets implemented or not is a different matter. Also , things seen at fanfest are never a guarantee of things getting developed, or even on the roadmap at all. |

I love Nexus, such an amazing game, graphically and gameplay-wise. +1 to this, pretty much exactly what we need. |

Exactly, and it appears everyone is for getting new shiny stuffs. Obviously gameplay should take priority over graphics, but surely CCP can dedicate a team or two to graphic shinies :P pwease? |
