Wasteland Watcher Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It'd be nice if to be able to see how much percentage was left on lit & equipped torches without having to open the backpack to check it in inventory. Personally I'd be happy if a brief onscreen notification would appear when the torch was at 10%. I love this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrozenLiquidity Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 They've done a good job of keeping a minimal UI and using in-game cues to for indications of these sorts of things. I agree, there should be a better manner of checking duration of a torch rather than opening up the inventory and looking at it there, but rather than a "low torch" notification, I would suggest having this reflected in the output of the torch, decreasing steadily over time, fading quickly at 10% or so and dying out a little after the fire has gone out, but with the possibility of using a new torch or other fuel source to kindle a new flame.

r0gershrubber Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I would prefer for the torch to become noticeably dim at <10, but I would settle for a red torch icon in the bottom left corner. That's sufficiently minimalist for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkid Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 When you first light a torch there's a "Torch health" bar that shows up in the upper left of the screen, but it fades away and there's no way to get it back. Just having it show up when I press TAB with a torch equipped would be marvelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akodo1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Larkid,Thank goodness! I have tried a bunch of ways to get that duration bar back. I am glad to know I am not too stupid to figure it out but rather it disappears for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindrifter Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'd vote for a key binding that could be used to trigger all existing visual indicators that are currently implemented in the game. Just press once for it to show for a few seconds then fade out or set for toggle. Either way, I add my interest to being able to view torch/lantern duration other than just in inventory and when equipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurdglius Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Yes. it will be good to have one. Little Icon will be too easy, maybe some special animation of flame, like lingering or reduceing light radius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
