exclamation points

[Finuve]

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?)

Good idea, and simple to implement, which means SE will not do it. ^_^

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

for me I just hate having things in the game world itself, names and linkshell symbols are enough

At least the exclamation points arent bright shiny eyesores like in Aion, but I just wish they werent there, since the minimap having them serves the same purpose

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

Best answer tbh, do this and you can quit your complaining.

Think of it this way, the ultimate goal to the game your playing for you is to abolish the exclamation points from the game. So this requires you going around completing the quests to make the game world less "trashy" and "cluttered"

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 [=

as of now they show on the character and on the map, I think they should show only on the map and it would be just as easy as it is now to find quests with less eyesores in the game world

I like that /beckon Idea tho
