Feedback - Radial Clutter

[mcshroud]

Just curious, but why? Why is clutter forced on, even if we can set range. What's the point?

Noob unfriendly too. Vets will know about real cover vs vegetables for effect, but noobs will think that tank 400 meters away can't see him.

It makes your game look alot better. Is this not obvious?

why would "noobs" not notice that is is just around you?

Since 'look better' is a subject thing (isn't that obvious?) then why have it forced on as opposed to how it is now where it can be turn off completely or adjusted for performance.

I don't think it 'looks better'

because they always have.

new players just log in usually, I doubt settings like these are obvious to them. Plus by default isn't it on even in 1.30. So they log in with all this stuff around them, why wouldn't they assume that laying in a tough of grass conceals them even just a bit? You don't see greentags laying in a middle of an field somewhere acting like all is cool? I do.

could it have something to do that they think it s not to dangerous to be in a field if they are prone? i mean.. is easy be be prone in other games.. cod.. and such..

and radial clutter is in other games to and they know its only around them in there to, so it cant be to strange that this game dont use global ground clutter.

don't know, not big deal, just raised it as an option.

I just would prefer to be able to turn it off completely, never have liked it for a variety of reasons, none related to system performance, and especially don't like the constant visual change on the edges as I move.

I was just wondering if CRS had a reason for the change (no longer able to turn off completely).

I was atr hiding in tall grass and while advancing prone towards an ET I noticed an EI lmg covering the ET... he prone, deployed... in the middle of nothing. no cover at all.

I thought it was one of those ghost ei that pop up a lot lately so I kept approaching him prone ..then he fired at something . Deployed my ATR and shot him. When I got to where he was and went prone just to see what he was shooting at I realized that the clutter covered most of my view as much as the high grass did.

poor SOB mustve felt invisible... yet since I saw him outside the clutter range he was a lone ei prone in smooth, featurless green terrain.

I'd be in favor of no radial clutter but more of the permanent grass as a trade off.

Having the new grass (both kinds) adds alot of new detail to the landscape but the issues with the radial type of grass are probably going to outweigh the benefit in its current form.

Makes my game look worse, what with the color mismatch to the ground texture, and what with the sudden POPPING UP INSTA-SPROUT BAM! behavior.

So I guess it isn't obvious.

Current Radial clutters visibility is not looking good with sharp border at 200m.

I will change less density by 400-500m visible distance and smooth border

Is WWIIOL golf simulator

or not

[stalg]

Break up the terrain so it does NOT look like a golf course. (Adds realism and concealment opportunities).

Make ALL terrain visible to ALL infantry players at ALL engagement ranges. (If you think you're concealed you actually are amongst some concealment).

Radial clutter is totally useless unless it appears at all normal engagement ranges and for all players.

Get Rid of it completely if that can't happen because of FPS issues.

No toggles, no adjustments.. just get rid of it.
