[POLL] How do you feel about banners and board shake

simonsez

Was curious to see what people think...

The rockett

I am glad this was brought up. As a person that has had a fair amount of concussions, still feeling the effects of the last one 4 years later since it was very bad, I hate the board shake. That screen moving messes with my vision a lot and did cause a dizzy spell. When you are in "game mode" watching every move, I can't tell you the feeling that this causes me. It wasn't bad with 1 character, but now with this becoming a "thing" now, it's getting bad. When i know it is coming I have to close my eyes for a few seconds until the animation is over. I wish there was a away to disable this features for this reason. I know that this won't be done for 1 person, but I am hoping they do look at a way to turn this off.

It's like they want to implement 3D or VR, at this point.

God help those with epilepsy.....

Honestly, the board shake animation should've been left, at the most, 5*s.
Like, why does 2* Thor's red need it, when his green doesn't even have a real animation? His green animation is just as bad as Bagman's yellow.

As far as banners, I don't hate them. I think it's fine if passives have some sort indication that they have been triggered.

Screen shake is cool to accentuate a couple well-placed effects (for examples animations that seem to smash against the screen. Seeing it used even for picking one of Moon Knight's alter-egos is robbing it of all novelty.

Banners I don't mind. I think they would have been a tiny, tiny, tiny positive feature if it wasn't by the fact that apparently they introduced a hundred bugs into the game.

if moon knight's tri-polar disorder deciding on a pole warrants a screen shake, I fully expect to see it on every big ability moving forward. personally I like the effect for something big, but overuse will just make it totally annoying. so many more important things...

Screen shake should've been left on 5* Cap's shield bash thing. Nothing else.

Banners I guess don't bother me as much, but I could do with either removing them or making them not extend matches by a solid minute and a half (lookin' at you there, Daken).

I'm already grinding for hours at a time, anything that slows the game down unnecessarily is a negative for me.

I first noticed it on Hulk's SMASH power. I thought it actually made sense for the character! He is HUGE. It makes sense for him! Thor not so much..

They need to give an option to turn off animations, screen shake, banners and whatever bells or whistles they want to add.

I'd rather they fix bugs, release new content or address the current meta though.

JVReal

I think a board wiggle is appropriate for attacks that do damage and change the board or are literally smashing you.

Thor, fine, Hulk, makes sense. Shield Bash, yup. I don't know what else it's used on, but I agree that overuse will make it more annoying. Animations should be able to be turned on/off. Banner's too, I don't need to slow down the match with banners every turn. Hood stole AP, I'd much rather have the little AP indicator +/- like we used to have back in the day than being told he stole something but not told what...

Maybe put a settings button on the Roster screen of each character that allows specific characters animations to be turned off, or an option in the main settings for Shutting off ALL animations (this would then simply check all the boxes in your roster to Off, then you could go in and turn on the ones you enjoy).

Ducky

I don't even notice the banners, to be honest. The screen shake though? I hate it. It disorients me for a couple seconds every time (and I don't mean my reading of the board). I really wish they would either scale it down a LOT or allow us to remove that feature.

They've added a ton of board shake to lots of characters, even 2* captain america. It gives me a headache. It's fine with a few characters, but they've gone way overboard.

Banners I don't mind as much. I think it's a bit unneccessary, although with the rapid release of new characters, it does make it clear what they're doing, especially the ones I'm less familiar with. I just hate it when it causes massive slow-down though. RIP 2* Hawkeye's Speed Shot being actually umm speedy. And this multi-second pause when an opponent does numerous powers all in the same turn.. just have them hit me all at once, so I can get on with the match.

Ryudoz

Banners I don't mind.
Screen shakes disturb me greatly. I wish they would DIAF.

Crowl

Adding this stuff is just annoying when they have poorly ordered animations, incorrect wave notifications etc. that detract from the game already.

OneLastGambit

I don't give a Nick fury about either , I want the new pve system to be implemented (with the caveat of progression rewards too) a review of iso availablility, a slow down on character releases, the ability to 'roll again' when you pull a 4* and above cover which you've already maxed.

Oh....


AND MY TINY KITTY LEVEL UP BUTTON!

SnowcaTT

I was like...with how the last one is worded, will anyone select another option? Vote...nope, not many.

I'd much rather have a "turn off all animations/fluff" option than have MORE of that fluff.

brisashi

I think the board shake is kinda fun and makes certain abilities more satisfying to use.

The banners are intrusive and terrible, they need to go. No one likes them and how many hours have been spent on hotfixes for things they have broken?

Screen shake on skills:
This doesn't actually bother me but it could if they get spammed too much. If used it should be limited to skills that are tougher to fire off. For example Rulks 18 green could use screen shake but not his 9 green. Phoenix's transformed green could be another example where it might be appropriate.

Banners:
I see banners as a tutorial icon. It's good to have initially but intrusive over time. We should really have an option to disable them. Anything to speed up match length is much appreciated.

Smudge

Seeing 2* Cap's red and blue both shake the screen took me by surprise in the Simulator 2* Bullseye node. Not really bothersome to me, but I can see how it could be.

Agreed with others - banners might be helpful for new players for maybe the first couple months, but the way they make matches drag out is irritating. I loved watching the game blow through 5 Nightstalker tiles when I fought ninjas with Blade. Now, I hesitate to even use it once because of how long it causes things to drag out.

When I voted for board shake, I assumed it was a call to fix unshuffled boards by shaking them up.
