Being able to see your enemies/alies on their ships.
« on: August 09, 2013, 07:04:54 am »
So I've been playing Guns of Icarus for two days now...
And something that could be really nice to see is ofc. your enemies/other alies characters on their ships. :)

Btw - Love this game! <3
Bought the fourpack on Steam for my friends, and we're having a ton of fun! :3

Yeah, good point, I guess it has been suggested several times, including me. If I remember well, the official response was that players on other ships have been (temporarily?) disabled to save resources.

From what I understand, it existed at one point, but caused a bunch of lag and will remain that way until it could be smoothed out. Tbh, it doesn't take much away from the game and is unnecessary since you aren't aiming to kill the other crews, but it would be a nice touch.

Rather than me starting a new suggestion topic for a minor thing.

How about mousing over the class icon next to player name to see what equipment they brought along for their class?

It simply just need to happen! Maybe like Tron suggested with a toggle option, so not everyone need to have it on. I personally think it would add the last little touch to the game, instead of fighting a ghost ship...

As said, it was an option in earlier versions of the game. It wasn't optimized, and caused a lot of problems. They (Muse) have said they want to bring it back once it's right, and I'm sure that's still the case, but gets pushed back from more important things like server stability and bug fixes.
