New Target Ring Feedback

[gilmorej]

I found it kind of distracting and annoying when I was talking to NPCs during the MSQ, but I'll eventually get used to it.

I wish the arrows on the flanks scaled down smaller than they do, so that even on human-sized NPCs they fit within the concentric circles that make up the target ring. That's what made it feel distracting for me because it just looks a bit messy... Anyway, that's just my opinion. I still think they're a good addition.

A simple solution would be to give players options on how it appears. The ability to turn it off on friendly targets or have it entirely off would be nice. I enjoy the new target ring but I would like if people had options to choose where it appears.

So far, SO FAR... that is my only wish they would do with the new ring, tighten up them side arrows on smaller things. They just remain big and stick out the targeting ring and just overall adds clutter.

I feel like this is one of those things that only seems weird and distracting because it's new and different, and in a few weeks we'll all be used to it and no one will even notice any more.

Well, it isn't distracting like the old hotbar disco balls, but I wish it looked a little cleaner.

Disco balls? What? Someone please explain what they mean. I'm lost.

Rather than the action icon having the like, timer built into the icon with the refresh pie chart? Thing.

It used to be a tiny orb in the upper right of the icon

Oh wow that must have been a long time ago because I don't remember this at all. Or my memory is failing me. Thanks for explaining

Wow I remember now but I had wiped that from my memory.

To the subject of the thread, I'm kind of looking forward to getting Alphascape 3.0 in roulette now cause it's been coming up a LOT. This should help with his sneaky butt spinning around.

I wish I had never read this, because now I cannot unsee it...

Yeah, they look fine here:


They look kind of sloppy and distracting here, though:


Why don't they properly scale all the way down so they always look nice like in the 1st picture? They'd still be perfectly readable for their intended purpose even if they were scaled down that far. Because they're designed well enough that even if they got smaller they are still clearly arrows, with a back and a front, that point in a certain direction.

Anyway, like I said in my other post, even if they don't change I'll eventually get used to them. They have merit and were a nice addition to the game, because even I have found myself getting lost on which direction a monster is facing sometimes (big shoutout to the hot/cold boss in dulubrum)
