Aggro Icon

[OJtheLIONKing]

I guess an option to turn it off would be ok, but having some kind of aggro indicator is something that's been sorely missing from this game as well as FFXI. I'm sure some people consider it more exciting, but I for one get very annoyed when I run into aggro with no indication, especially in cases where other mobs of the family don't aggro and this one specific kind does.

Stuff like that seems to unfairly punish people trying to get into the game who might (logically) assume that there aren't mobs 10-20 levels higher than everything else in the zone wandering around waiting to tear them a new one for no apparent reason. I think this is counter to the stated goal to make the game easier to get into.

Possibly on Fantaji? lol I posted a status saying almost the exact same thing.

Yeah I think it was from Fantaji.

If nothing else I think the icon really needs to be re-designed. It looks sloppy, as if one of the artists was just told to create something quick and dirty for testing, but a final icon was never implemented.

Yeah, it kind of looks like a 15 second Photoshop job.

Im a big ffxi vet myself i say get rid of the agro dot all together New players need to learn as we did starting some monsters are not cool. all the agro dot does in my opinion is turned the game into a battle style petting zoo for noobs. wheres the challenge.

I don't like it pretty much either...I'm not against though, but they could reduce it's size...giant red markers..sigh.

I agree. Toggle on/off please

[LadaraHamiki]

It would be nice to toggle this feature on or off depending on preference. Though if we are forced to have the aggressive icons, my only suggestion would be placing it near the difficulty rating on the enemy's lifebar. It would be much less intrusive.

[Aramil]

I'm not a fan it but I can live with it. However I agree that a toggle option would be appreciated.

[Bethor]

Aye an toggle option would be great and of course a new icon.. which is smaller... A LOT

[BelgianRofl]

Agreed. This icon needs to go. We will learn what aggros as time goes on. Unless, it's SE's prerogative to take away any sense of adventure in this game, although there is none at the moment.

I don't mind having an icon indicating mobs that agro, but yes, the domination of the current red icon on your screen when in an area with alot of agro mobs is horrendous.
