A Fixed Hovering Destinations Above Gorge Tunnels

Instead of staring at a gorge tunnel or wasting time looking at the map (to see each gorge tunnel goes where). I suggest that the destination name hovers above gorge tunnels, in a fixed, permanent way.

1. This will save time.
2. This will encourage more people taking tunnels.

TLDR: Basically, have destination names hovering over gorge tunnels without starring at it.

    So you mean like how the phase gate says "To (room name)"? That could be nice. I'll bring it up!

    It's already there when you look at the tunnel itself (or at least used to be). I think OP wants it to just always be there, even without you looking for it. Could be done in some way that doesn't clutter the UI I suppose.

    Speaking of this, I'd like "Gorge tunnel to " part removed and only say "Atrium" instead, so you won't waste time reading whole sentences. Might be even bigger font after that.

    Correct! This is what I always wanted. I always waste 10 seconds staring at the map to 5 gorge tunnels, confusing myself, talking the wrong one, while the hive is dying from a Marine rush

    Can this be implemented?

    @Coelispex, I would love that feature as well. I do not know how many times I've taken the wrong tunnel when they are placed close by each other ... lol

    but you would have to be close to it or be looking at it, I wouldn't want it to obstruct my view.

    @SamusDroid Marines got the arrows for their phase gates. Can the aliens get some love too? :P

    Sounds like something that should be in ns2+
  • CoelispexCoelispex Join Date: 2013-07-17 Member: 186172Members, Reinforced - Supporter
    I see it's now been added into NS2+. Yay!

    Now it needs to be in the main game. :D

    I'd like to add one more thing...i'm constantly having trouble finding a gorge tunnel under a Shade, could u give the tunnel that is cloaked (under Shade effect) a "glow", make it stand out, maybe a orange fogy effect. I don't agree totally with how the "shaded" / "invisible" effect is done, but i think that Gorge Tunnels should stand out, i should be able to see the tunnel i want to enter from across the room.

    And yea erase "Gorge tunnel to", just leave the name of the room where it leads to, maybe make the font color different.
