Dynamic Hitmarkers (Range Indicator)

[Snubnose 639]

plain and simple:
add dynamic hitmarkers, so they get smaller (or change color) when hitting targets out of range. it would help a lot of newer players in this game to learn weapon ranges.


I just see too many new players shoot people out of range with their star or ntec, getting hitmarkers but not doing any damage - complaining about not killing someone after hitting them for 10+ shots.

Good idea, but, if they just added a proper tutorial system which taught players everything they needed to know(this would include effective ranges/drop off hopefully) then maybe that'd suffice? 

 

Don't know if anyone here has played planetside 2 before but that had a really good tutorial system to teach players the basics.

true, a proper tutorial is needed anyway, but there are so many weapons, new players couldn't keep up and most people don't wanna go back to the tutorial to check it out again (most would probably skip the tutorial cuz "hurr durr I want action"). so changing hitmarkers would help all the time, without having to check on your weapon / tutorial again, it's just instantly...
it sure as hell takes away a nice chunk of the super steep learning curve APB has, which is needed for new players to come in and stay.

edit:
also, a tutorial system feeds new players quite a lot of information, most can't keep up with that much and would have to check again and again, so "instant" help / indicators are always welcome
