[dev] Please let us mark NON leve monsters.

Getting annoying that I can't mark them.

Please add this to your list of things to fix
Some examples of how I would improve the system:

-Add more icons to use. (including numbers and symbols)

-Allow all monsters (and players/npcs) to be marked by all icons.

-Remove the "ATTACK THIS TARGET" (and other text like it) text from the Emotes and Signs and let the players decide what each icon means. (add them all to auto-translate please)

-Add a UI element that allows you to click a symbol on your screen. This corresponds to a marked target and automatically targets the monster with the same symbol. This could appear anywhere, but being able to quickly target marked monsters is important. For example, I mark a monster with a O and another with an X. Both icons now appear on my screen somewhere and by clicking the O I target the O marked monster.

-Display an icon on the raid window that corresponds to a marked player. The sword icon for example if placed on a player will have a sword icon next to their name in the raid window.

Thats all I can think of for now. Thanks for the feedback everyone ^^

Yes please, I was extremely confused as to why this is limited to leve only.

the symbols? I never used them yet.... so idk. But sound good ta me.

I wholeheartedly agree. it will make dealing with crowd control in the upcoming dungeons much easier.

Agreed too, would come in handy.

I didn't know you couldn't do this but do agree it should be changed.

This topic has already been started in the Battle Mechanics forum.

I'm sure you posting this in General forums will attract much more attention though. It's too bad community reps never reply to threads unless they're hot topics. There are many good suggestions that are posted in their correct forums but get completely overlooked because barely anyone bothers to check threads in anything other than General Discussion.

On topic though, I highly agree, this needs to be addressed. Enemy signs were a great idea but very poorly implemented due to the restrictions. I think Yoshi-P gets the message though, we don't want everything to revolve around leves. I'm confident that they will fix this if enough people show interest.

Say it ain't so, Meowy Wowie! That thread wasn't ignored, I've actually been reading that thread and submitted it for comment when it was posted. I just haven't heard a response back on it yet, thus, there hasn't been a post on it. "You gotta believe!"

Haha, thanks for the reply Bayohne :P Although I'd have to admit, this is probably the first thread I've seen with less than 1000 views that has gotten a reply from a rep. I understand why though, it makes sense to take care of the more active topics first. I just wish more people would check more than just General discussion. Anyhow, thank you for the submission, I'm eager to see what the devs have to say!

I have seen several with less than 500 views, popular threads often get clicked on the most because of the title and the topic at hand so it just seems that way. Also they are usually well written to some extent.
