As the title states. i highly appreciate if you take the time to give your feedback since rebel status is quite a piece in jailbreak, i understand if this suggestion comes off as asking for too much but i would appreciate to have the input of others that frequent jailbreak like i do
I believe the rebel status, that red glow that highlights you for 30 seconds upon hitting a blue, should be disabled; however, i believe that the chat notification that calls out a player for rebelling ( Bananasriel has rebelled! ) should stay and here's why:
I believe the rebel status, that red glow that highlights you for 30 seconds upon hitting a blue, should be disabled; however, i believe that the chat notification that calls out a player for rebelling ( Bananasriel has rebelled! ) should stay and here's why:
- The Rebel status is unnecessary and rather a pain for a lot of lr's, the most notable example would be tiny day where everyone is tiny and the goal of the round is to kill everybody until one team is wiped for the round to end. Upon hitting a blue in this LR you are instantly turned into a visual beacon from quite the distance and in most cases is mostly how a blue ends up catching you if you are the unfortunate red with it
- The Rebel status is not accurate as they mark reds from hitting a blue at any moment, meaning that hitting a blue while they are baiting will still give you the red glow. in regular instances this has caused inexperienced blues to jump to conclusions and freekill based on the rebel status
- But that's an inexperienced player, they will learn and it will stop happening: By the time they learn and get better as guards they will totally not commit the same mistake, but it would also render the rebel status glow useless for the same reason, this guard is good enough to tell a rebel apart properly and wont even notice whether if the glow is there or not
- A core function of someone to play as blue is to look over the reds, meaning to do the simple task of paying attention, a rebel status takes away part of that one and simple task, blues are given crits (something i am perfectly fine with) to easily deal with reds due to the number ratio, but if blues really need a visual beacon to know who is rebelling and who is not they are not doing their part right
- What if 2 players look identical and one of them chooses to rebel: This is why i want to add that chat notifications should stay, whilst it is a valid point that is a situation where rebel status works it's not a common thing to happen, you would also only need the name which would appear in chat if the person did hit a blue, you can hover your crosshair over a red and you will be shown the name of the person on highlight red text right on your screen
