Carronade visual/sound effects

(1/6) > >>

teweedo:
Hello there,

I'd like to make a small suggestion about the Hellhound and Bark Dog Carronades.


As it stands now those two weapons are really underwhelming in term of visual and sound effects in my humble opinion.


The Hellhound is supposed to be a huge twin shotgun and the Bark dog a powerful small shotgun. Yet when you are using them it feels like you are just throwing powder at your target. As a gunner it is really disappointing to use them. While others guns are very satisfying and gorgeous to play I feel like the Carronade could get some visual and sound effects improvements.


What I suggest for the Hellhound :

- Louder and more "aggressive" sound effect
- Heavy visual recoil and camera shaking
- Remove the visual white powder shots to replace with a fireshot effect

What I suggest for the Bark Dog

- Louder sound effect
- Small camera shaking



Thoughts gentlemen?

Interesting... I never really paid that much attention... imo, it would be a distraction that I might never notice due to actual combat. But again... it's the subtle things that make a game truly immersive

Helmic:
I can't disagree.  Both the Manticore and the carronades require little aiming effort from the gunner; the former is fun as hell to use because you get an impressive animation and lots and lots of explosions and hit confirmations and messages about disabling everything on the enemy ship.  The carronades?  The most you'll get are "asshole at a birthday party" cracks.  There's no animation, the hit is instant (which is weird as hell, why wouldn't it shoot like grapeshot?), and you just kinda get a soft boom.  It's incredibly tame.

N-Sunderland:
I still remember the first time I used the carronade. I didn't feel like I was hitting anything, since, as you said, it just looked like a bit of powder being flung. I've gotten used to it now, and I'm not sure what type of change would work well, but it would be interesting to see something new there.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would like to see the Carronade get some (visual/sound) love ! Let's hope the devs gives it a go if they agree about it  :D
