(Suggestion) Removing the aggroe icon for monsters.

[Pyrix]

Personally I think it's useful, every other game uses like red monster text to show that a monster is aggressive, why not instead of the big invasive icon they use red text?

on ZAM seems a dev posted a preview of the new icon in the japanese section of this forum. since there's nothing on english one, i'll post it myself, waiting for a official post

Personally I think that looks really good, the only complaint I ever had about the original was the sizing of it (doesn't look very appealing either but when its smaller like that its fine). I wonder if the toggle takes away the level number as well.

Hey everyone! ^_^
Thanks for all of your feedback regarding the aggressive icon thus far! We received a nice image of the various new icons from the development team and would like to share them with you. (Sorry it’s in Japanese at the moment, but those are just the enemy names anyway!)

As you can see in the image, we’re currently planning to have 3 different types of icons, and the ability to easily discern aggressive/non-aggressive monsters as well as their level.

We’re looking forward to any additional feedback you may have!

..Alright, let's take it all the way. If currently we have two options:

A) Show icons on the names

B) Hide the icons completely

I'd like there to be a third option implemented:

C) Show icons only when targeting the monster.

I think this would be nice to have.

Further, it would be nice if you could choose to hide only the aggressive/non-aggressive icon, and leave the rank indicator intact. I can live without this, but it would be nice nonetheless.

I don't like image 1 and 2.
Please do all monsters like image 3 (aggo/non-aggro icon and level only if the player click on the monster)

[Malakhim]

I also agree that the icon and the rank indicator are nice, but I'd really appreciate having a "display for target only" option, as I feel that the icon could get annoying if I have about 5 or 6 monsters in my face... >.>

I like how all of those look. they aren't ginormous, but you can see their difficulty and rank. however like Felis said, only display them when you click on the monster.

I agree. Image #3 should be the default. Then if a player wants to, they can toggle on the rank & aggressive icons above the monster (like in images #1 & #2).

I agree with this. I would like to see the level and agro indicators, but only when I target the monster.

The more options the better... that way everyone will be satisfied.
