Why ward the obvious.

I had an idea while talking to a friend. I was thinking they could add more animation for the bushes. I was thinking that if you have vision of a bush but not what is inside the bush then it would be an interesting thing to show some rustling in the bush if someone is moving inside of it. If they are sitting still I don't think the animation should be shown but if they are moving then why not. He said the animation exists while you are already inside of the bush but once you leave you can't see it anymore. But we agreed that as long as you have vision of the bush in question you should at least be able to see a little rustling as an indicator of a possible threat. I was wondering what the community thought of this idea and if there were any other ideas.

The whole point of bushes is to hide. So this kind of defeats the purpose.

that's true but i'm not saying make it obvious that someone is in there. just show a slight sway in the leaves if someone is moving around in it. if they are standing still then no. with the exception of people in stealth

hmm... I don't know what my thoughts are on that particular suggestion... I guess my whole take is the fact that it's so minuscule.. and irrelevant to actual gameplay that I honestly don't care.. and because the actual implementation would require the developer's time and effort.... which could be doing something else entirely more condusive towards the game itself... I say it's a thought that's probably best forgotten.

I agree that it isn't really a necessity to put it in the game but i feel it should at least be considered as the game develops. You can see a ward trail being placed even in fog of war so why not bushes when they are in your vision.
