Something I’ve noticed a little difficult to manage is the audio of the shield. And what I mean by that is the progressive beeping sound it used to make when it was damaged. The beeping sound of half shield is something I’ve gotten very used to, and I find it frustrating when I run into a fight with half shield when I think it’s at full because I hear no slow beeping.
So yes it is just a personal preference, and yes it is entirely my fault that I die because I run into a fight with half shield, but it would be so nice to be able to know what my shield health is at without having to look up every time.
