WipZedKay.5316 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 A reoccurring problem when playing mechanist on larger scale events is that you simply can't see where the mech is because of all the people and effects being thrown around. This is especially annoying if you're playing with any boons at all and need to make sure that the mech is actually close to you and others in order to apply the boons. My suggestion therefore, is to have the option to put a tag on your mech that only you would be able to see. Tags go above both players in height and layering so they don't lost in the sea of player effects which makes it consistently stick out among the crowds. Since the icon would only be visible to yourself and optional, it wouldn't annoy others around you. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerus.4350 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Totally agree. I've wanted personal tags for while now anyways, just squad tags but ones that only I can see. Those would solve this issue as well (or at least help). For now I've been watching for the barrier numbers (light blue) to see where my mech is when it's not visible.

Scolix.4879 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Personally i would like to have one of those spider mechs instead of this giant hulk or even an option to make the mech smaller because i do not care at all playing the spec the pet is just way too large and wooshes constantly from side to side on my screen if it was smaller it wouldn't annoy me that much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custodio.6134 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 that feature would not only be good for mechanists, but for everyone. Just a few examples on where your "Personal Tag" will be useful that immediately came to my mind: obviously: Support-Mechanists (to track the position of their own mech) WvW: for your DPS-Classes or second-supporter to track the position of their guardian (although you should always be close to your tag in a squad anyways) Open World: Especially on Meta-Events, where you have to avoid large AoE fields that would instakill your mech (most current example: Soo-Won encounter in Dragon´s End with the big instakill-fields and the charges, that usually obliterate your mech due to the hitbox of the boss) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay.7253 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Id support this massively. In the DE meta it is simply invisible. Generally speaking: has there ever been any reaction by the offiicials about these topics in the forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More visibility by the devs here than other places online to my knowledge. How much more isn't exactly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade is green. Well, they could let us colour the metallic bits at least. Already see a white mech during the Kaineng Overlook strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MErryback.2986 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 If there were skins for the mech they would be with the skiff skins and turtle skins on the shop. They aren't, I think that ship may have sailed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On topic: I would like better visibility on it, but I mostly want a leash! The rubber band it's currently attached too is waaaaay too stretchy. The thing goes all over the place, front and behind. For me that's the main reason I lose track on it actually, this is why I want it to be more visable: because it's always somewhere it shouldn't be.

Styopa.2538 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Not to mention every mech looks identical. Is that my mech? Is that mine? Is that one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
