Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I faintly remember this in the original Geneforge. The antenna on mines would stop dancing when they were deactivated. It sure would make it easier to notice if they will blow up when I walk near them. As it is now, active mines have a semi-regular particle effect. I suppose I just need to slow down and watch for that special effect. Ircher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The antenna keeps moving, but other effects stop. It isn't as noticeable so I save quite often going through those areas. Ircher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Chopkinsca Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thinking about it, "deactivated" might even be the wrong word. They are active, but just smell me as friendly. I do save before I walk towards mines. I also take a moment to look for the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt mikeprichard Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 This is something I think (?) was a change from prior games that I really don't like - I wish the mine antennae would simply stop moving after they're deactivated. You just have to look for the sparklies, but I also still take great care around them either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt TriRodent Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 As someone who generally clears the minefields by casting Essence Shield & then walking into the dumb things...my opinion my not be the greatest... I don't mind how it is now. On my computer at least the sparkles were very noticeable (or lack thereof I suppose). But I too also quicksave before setting them off just in case.

Ineffable Wingbolt mikeprichard Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ha, I do the same thing - never used a single baton in the game. Played as a solo Guardian, Essence Shield up, walked over the things (one at a time for the bigger ones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
