New Target Ring Feedback

[Wyssahtyn]

Personally, I wouldn't mind a way to revert to the old, plainer one. The side arrows on the new one just add visual clutter in my opinion, and can even be misleading considering that they, and the main one in front, still show up on enemies where facing doesn't matter. Found myself spamming True North on the Red Girl boss in the third NieR raid when she gets big simply because I instinctively assumed "arrow means it's facing me, which means I need to use True North to hit positionals".

Yes, but some enemies with no positional still have mechanics that happen in the direction they are facing, and smaller enemies can be difficult to see.


I find these additions quite helpful.

I'm struggling to think of any smaller enemies with no positionals outside of like Eureka. Could you provide examples? Also even if they have directional facing mechanics, there are generally obvious visual tells anyway, like orbs or beams, no? I can't think of any oblique ones.

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.
