The new pop-up help display is annoying

[Bayohne]

We received some comments about wanting to only display the action name in the popup text, and as we mentioned in my previous comment, we will be addressing this by separating portions of the action bar settings as well as adding an On/Off setting.

In future patches, we will be looking into making it possible to adjust specific settings, such as displaying the action name, etc. for the action bar pop-up help.

While we cannot make any promises currently, we will look in to any other feedback you have, so please keep it coming!

The problem is the positioning of the help window. What annoys me is that the help is almost always on top of something else that I want to view. If you could simply address where you display the help window/text, you could solve the problem.

I know you guys are in a huge hurry to meet your dead lines but you must be careful about little stuff like this or you'll be running back later on to fix it. I have been a dev for over 20 years and this is the kind of stuff that takes a few extra minutes or maybe in some cases, an extra hour or two. However, what's worse, taking the extra time now, or having to re-study the code again later on to clean up the mess?

You all are on the right track but be a bit more careful in your coding.

For years, I complained in prime-site Forums about similar issues with FFXI... the casting counter would always position itself smack on top of the Macro Palette, preventing you from seeing whatever was on the left hand side of said palette. This became a real problem when they multiplied the number of macro books you could save. Nothing was done in the years I played. Hopefully, an official forum will help in this case.

The game displays the help in four different languages... three of which they don't use themselves. And oddly most people haven't noticed it blocking anything vital. I'm not sure what you are referring too?
