Most annoying thing ever( besides attribute refund points

)

Old UI plz

Yes I thought something was different. I like the idea but in reality it is harder on my eyes and causes more eye strain than before.

Hmm, we have only 3 colors in GW (outside outposts). Green, red and yellow. I like the idea, but it could be done better IMO. At first: enabling this in outposts and on players wasn't good. I'd say Anet implemented this feature just to help players who target ctrl-clicking method to avoid accidentaly selecting mobs from distance - and then luring whole rooms

The solution? Keep this idea, but instead of alpha make whole new color. Let's say grey for mobs which AREN'T aggroed. Those who would be aggroed would be marked red as usual. And of course add option to disable this feature, since there are still people who target with c and tab....

/signed for toggle

I like it, outside of towns. I agree that inside it can be a pain in the rear.

Don't mind having this option either way.

But if the distance is readily available, I hope anet can also add a draw-distance option when intown, so to get rid of all other players who are far away... (ie. not display them)

This can help a lot during these Halloween and Wintersday 1~2 fps scenarios.

NeHoMaR · Oct 29, 2007, 05:25 AM // 05:25

I think the feature is really useful. Anyway, it can be improved. Oh! and the toggle on/off option is always good (for every feature in game, not just this one)

I don't understand why video game companies (not just Anet, but in General) leave simple options out, such as this. The recent console games I've been playing have left even simple things like being able to completely customize your button layout. Do the companies themselves think that their way is superior and if someone has a problem with it, tough titty? Is it really hard to realize that everyone enjoys options? Is a toggle to turn off autotarget and now fading text so demanding on manpower that it simply isn't possible to add to the already existing Options menu? What happened to, "We don't have the resources to dedicate any more updates to Guild Wars 1, since our current focus is 100% Guild Wars 2?" You tell us these things, and then you roll out completely unnecessary UI changes such as this, but leave things like a very poorly designed Search feature alone.

looks that way (not only for the GUI). in the end it all boils down to just.... people.

Years of Human-Computer Interaction research tells otherwise. The more options a UI has, the worse it generally is from a usability perspective. Cf. almost any software Apple makes.

(Not saying this necessarily applies in this specific instance.)

Toggle pls

Makes people look dead at long range :/

Lord Natural · Oct 29, 2007, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Have to strain my eyes to see anything. Lose this junk or enable a toggle option.

Martin Firestorm · Oct 29, 2007, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I was open minded at first, but after playing with it over the weekend its just too hard to see.

Kalendraf · Oct 29, 2007, 05:11 PM // 17:11

I really dislike it. Either make it a toggle option or remove it entirely.

Bankai · Oct 29, 2007, 05:16 PM // 17:16

I love it. Keep it or make it toggle-able.

Jongo River · Oct 29, 2007, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Same here. I'd be disappointed to lose it.

bpphantom · Oct 29, 2007, 05:47 PM // 17:47

I see it's use in some cases. However, toggle or nothing please.

Bryant Again · Oct 29, 2007, 05:56 PM // 17:56

:I haven't gotten a response yet, be it by someone posted in this thread or having the thing toggleable - and dear Christ it took me 7 times to get this spelt right. Toggle now lost its meaning.

truemyths · Oct 29, 2007, 06:45 PM // 18:45

change it back... the grayed/dimmed out historically meant dead, and so when I see these dimmed chars I keep wondering why everyone's dead

lakatz · Oct 29, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

I love the change. I love knowing how many of those monster are actually close up, and how many are actually farther away when their names are all bunched up on the screen.
