Aggro Icon

[Zorvan]

I'm fine with the icons the way they are, but then I play at HD resolutions on a modern monitor. Put in a toggle for those who have a problem with it to turn it off.

I don't think its a bad idea at the moment, at least until there is a way of avoiding aggro, ie. sneak/invisible. But I'm sure they could come up with a more subtle way of doing it.

Turn on/off give us the possibility to decide if this feature break or not our immersion.

I'm not a big fan for the aggro icon. I can understand its purpose for newer players or people that just want to know what enemies aggro or not, but a lot of people (like myself, obviously) prefer the surprise and danger of not knowing what aggros and what doesn't. In addition, when you're in an area that has tons of aggressive enemies, it looks downright ugly to see dozens of red dots all over the place.

Please include an option to turn the aggro icon off, or at least make it more subtle.

An option to turn it off isn't good enough, because this icon is grander in scope and shows you the direction they are taking the game.

Surprisingly, I am okay with the question marks above NPCs heads, but I feel the direction the developers are taking with these new icons is to make this game totally unremarkable. By this I mean, half the adventure is the unknown. Knowing that a mob aggros for certain, by token of its aggro indicator, removes that sense/thrill of adventure. It's a similar feeling with the NPC quests.

It only takes one memorable experience with an aggressive mob to remember its behaviour. So the indicator is of no use for seasoned players, and all it manages to achieve is to remove that first experience for new players - it removes their sense of wonder. "will this mob attack me?" etc.

Wouldn't you agree?

/agroicon off command pls

It is fine for people who want it on, I would love for the ability to take it off.

either let us take it off or redesign the icon.

The icon is stupid.
I've not read a single post of someone who actually liked it.

I like the idea behind the icon, but as I've said before I think color-coded names would be more effective.

Then you need to read again.
