better damage indicators

[mellow slate]

currently when you are damaged a small red indicator shows up. it gets brighter on consecutive hits, making it hard to differentiate hits. often times you don't notice you are damaged until the bleeding effect appears or you die.

with the fast ttk, it can sometimes lead to what feels like a "1 frame death" (which is actually more like 200ms). see thread: https://discord.com/channels/303681520202285057/1174710258778775592

suggestions:
make 1st hit damage indicators more noticeable

• make them larger or have less opacity
• a full screen damage effect could also be added like a red flash
• should be a toggle option in settings

some way to better differentiate # of hits.

• damage indicators should fade out more quickly
• could make consecutive hits stack farther out. one hit = "(", 3 hits = "( ( (".

a patch of blood and slight red filter like from battlefield could work

Dmg indicators could have a small animation when they appear
Rn they just pop up, having a animation where the indicator slides into place or something would help

Would be nice if each damage indicator would show a rising number of how many bullets that one enemy hit you. And a new directional indicator shows up if a second person shoots you.

That's a cool idea to give it a better sense of direction

a sliding animation would be fine, as long as they dont fade in

Current damage indicator is fine atm. A person trying to spray you who miss the kill will show the general direction of their location

[mellow slate]
