A little love for melee? (number of uses left in HUD)
Hi.
We all know that all of MA's love is aimed to the ranged professions, that MA doesn't see melee combat as anything but maybe Uber/ PvP pastime, and that thus anybody choosing melee as combat profession better early on should find itself a place where it's possible to comfortably bend over, and always have a sufficient supply of Garcen Grease at hand.
Well, this is how things work. We have to live with it. And the few hard cores able to stand such would rarely whine much about. Whining is mainly for the "pew-pew ppl", or the "ra-ta-ta aficionados". Melee ppl don't whine much, they usually sharpen their weapons even more, and go out to cut to pieces whatever is giving them grief.
But sometimes this doesn't work this well, so gimme a minute of your attention, please. It might benefit you.
There's something that really hurts. Check these screenies, please:
And now please have look at these:
You see the difference? Yes, you are a smart participant, you easily recognized that there's a huge disadvantage when using melee weapons:
You don't get any feedback when the weapon will become useless.
Any other combat professions get this vital information, it's just the poor melees again that are locked out. They have to check their weapons consistently, because due to the lack of ammo usage the decay numbers of melee weapons usually are quite heavy.
What we have is something like this:
But this is only viewable when "getting info" on the relevant tool.
So my wish would be to incorporate the percentage value of the "Usable condition" of the current weapon into the display. Not only would this be a gift from heaven to any melee user, it would also be most applauded by many of our small, cute brethren & sistren from the ranged crowd. Check this:
compared to this:
(OK, the manipulating is poorly done, it's not my business, but you get the idea?)
Wouldn't such be a benefit to any & all of our EU participants? Wouldn't such be ways better for all of us? Wouldn't you love it, even if you'd be in the sad situation to be a ranged hunter, unable to shine like we glorious melee hunters are accustomed to?
Wouldn't you sign this as a kind of petition, to get such a cool, useful feature adding to your gaming experience, too?
No? Then feel free to rot in hell, plagued by a multitude of parasites and getting eaten by bazillions of different kinds of brainless atrocities, in a most painful way. Not that I would wish anything this bad to you if you'd not sign this, beware!
But there's something called karma, and it might strike heavily on you - phear it!
Should you be a member of MA - be careful! Posting such a proposition out of the blue might be hurting your career - better calculate first how much more deposits such would create, go public not before you have serious data!
I can honestly say that such a change would be another brick in the wall of trust towards MA. A lot of this wall has crumbled to dust in the past times, and building it up again should be a major goal of MA. It's not that I'm such an out-of-space, exotic participant, there's quite a lot of loonies like me that are able to deposit relatively large sums - but you'd need to get us. Or to get us AGAIN.
Have fun!
Edit: I have added "(number of uses left in HUD)" to the subject for better searchability, and corrected a minor typo ...
