valid Improvements to Armor-Piercing

[yellowghetto 3,206]

When you apply the Armor-Piercing effect onto someone/other players, it says "Armor is Destroyed," for like a second.

After the second, it is pretty hard to remember whose armor is broken if their username is not in the line of sight.

 

I think a slight improvement for this ability should have their tanks highlighted in purple when you are aiming at them instead of the normal red.

Also, when they are affected by a Hornet's Overdrive, your radar should show all enemies with the AP effect, and should highlight them in purple as well.

That's an interesting thought, personally i'm not fussed, but it may help allies know which players are AP'd because I still encounter players who dont shoot targets I AP.

Great idea

despite the fact that it may help allies, I also tend to forget what tank has applied AP on them even though I inflicted the status effect myself. Proper assistance would surely be accepted

Strongly disagree, what's left for strategies after that? I tend to hide myself usually when I have AP on me, what if all enemies knew that? Ok if I'm a one who remember, what's my guilt to give this advantage to everyone else?

AP doesn’t even last that long.

“Hiding when you have AP.”

Perfectly phrasing how Hornet Overdrive pretty much sucks because of that.

I switched to Hunter, Titan, Hopper.

I have to say this is a good idea because I usually main hornet, and as a hornet user I get annoyed sometimes that I use my OD and people don't go after the AP"d" tanks and sometimes my teammates waste my OD. But this idea you proposed will help others see who is AP'd'.. and would know who to attack.

I share with you the same feelings, as Hornet is also my main hull. Ok what about making Hornet's Radar let you know everyone that have AP , I think it's better as a character for an OD better than an advantage for every user (as your suggestion).

This might or might not be OP, hear me out. Currently I see no efficient hornet users, I mean they do not cooperate with their teammates, especially upon using their OD.

I like the whole point of marking enemies with different colour when they have a effect embarked on them (should be added for other statuses as well) but hornet OD being able to see which of them has which effect could maybe motivate teamwork a bit and make more people use hornet. It could also mean a lot of people using hornet OD to farm quick kills with railgun/gauss since you deal maximum damage and can exterminate the enemy without a doubt and let's not forget hornet OD is one of the ODs that recharge quick.

Also, add onto your suggestion different colours for all effects, it might be weird at first but if you play smart and want to gain an advantage over others I believe people will learn of this quickly. It's all about adapting to changes after all.

Don't forget that the effect would work both ways. Think about it - would you really want to be targeted even more than you do now when your armour gets destroyed?

[Akame 4,580]

Well, I guess atleast for Hornet OD, where it outlines players in yellow, those that it AP's for a while can be outlined as purple maybe? Just for the OD atleast should be balanced enough. I mean Hornet OD is a scout radar afterall, it should be able to communicate which armors it pierced to all allies, but will players understand this colour, since many wont look at the patches.

Yes. I think AP is a joke when applied by a Hornet Overdrive when I can't even see them. Wasn't it supposed to be a team Overdrive?
