v 1.7.1 Make the bleed effect Red Again

[BigBigMonkeyMan]

I have only played a couple of rounds, but it did make them considerably more frustrating after getting shot. Yes, the blood effect did look little dated, like early 2010s, but the game is literally 2005. Nobody complained about the blood effect. The new wounded effect simply obscures too much vision to the point that following a medic's instructions about where to go when revived or on low health can be unnecessarily difficult. Maybe widen the cone of vision, but that would be confused with the suppression effect, which I very much like. The blood effect obscured enough of your vision for the desired. If anything, bring back the black and white effect if possible at <10% health.

The comments people are making here are hilarious to read through.

And playing with the new effect and then switching back to the old one to compare, you really couldn't see shit with the blood texture on the screen before. You're under fire visibility is actually better now than it was, it's just not what you are expecting.

Cause the old bleed system was there for a long time everyone got used to it and the update was sudden players didn't know if they were getting hit or suppressed. players just have to adapt to the situation it may take a couple of weeks or months playing but players would get used to it over time maybe tweak the darkness on the hp to see a Lil better but quitting and complaining is not gonna help just keep playing and the devs will find a way to resolve the issue.

Very interesting comment. I like it a lot. Mainly because the video shows the bleeding effect present in the current game version. The same one you complained about.

In practice it means most of non-combat damage (like jumping a few meters down from a wall) will not impact your efficiency as much as before. To get this high falling damage (over 60%) you need to jump from a 3rd floor (around 13m height).

In terms of the red colour, it is already present although it may be fading out too quickly.

I still need some more time for constructive feedback but it just hinders the gameplay

So a texture fully covering your screen for almost a second (old bleed) does not obstruct the view as much as a tunnel effect which, as the name suggests, never fully blocks the center of the screen (new bleed)? This is a very interesting theory but perhaps it should be reconsidered.

Guess i was able to concentrate more on the effect itself now than in the middle of battle before. All i saw back then was black , and i did noticed later that the red fades too quick the lower your health goes

It hardly erases anything in the experience of PR.

Drama Queen.

Thing is, even in Arma its easier to kill AIs (Gonna say AIs instead of Players since Arma is primarily PvE) with low health than in PR at this point. Arma doesn't make your entire screen go pitch black so on a realism scale PR is as bad/worse than a COD game in terms of wounded/low health portrayal.

I have gotten used to the new effect a little more, but I still think it needs adjustment. Mainly because it isn't immediately clear if I've have been hit or if I'm suppressed.

The last update increased the amount of red from initial hit quite a bit. Is it still not noticeable enough?
