so as someone just coming back to 14 for the first time since launch, and enjoying what i've played so far, I have one nagging gripe, that for the most part will probably be seen as pretty ridiculous by most but...
could there please be an option to remove the floating exclamation points above NPC heads for quests...leave them on the minimap but off of the character...
(is there an option i missed?)
exclamation points

They go away if you do the quest.

im glad they are there, lets let them implement a bunch of features, then add options. Because changing the UI every time for every feature to be toggled on/off im sure is a chore since there is enough problems with it being server side and all. cant you just /names off? or does that still show it

08-08-2011, 11:45 PMFinuvefor me I just hate having things in the game world itself, names and linkshell symbols are enoughQuote:

I know for most people this is pointless, and probably seems to be a ridiculous request, but Im big on immersion in MMOs, and the more things placed inside the game world that dont belong or the more cluttered the UI the worse for immersion
either way it doesnt ruin anything completely like Aion or WoWs indicators, but its something that if reasonable id really like to toggle off -

I agree, they are a bit ugly. Maybe if they were smaller. But I think before, and in my only other mmo FFXI, I didn't do half the content available to me because I didnt know it was there. If a quest becomes available at rank 37, I don't know I am going to have to talk to some random NPC I might have selected 3 times previously. If they could take away the !, and have the NPC /beckon, that would indeed be better. But I need some indicator [=
