Thread: Petition to remove the new mouse Cursors.

    I'd just like to state for the record that I also dislike the new cursors very much and feel it was an unnecessary change considering the old ones worked perfectly fine and there are many other broken things in game that need the attention much more.

    The color changes are not the same states as the old cursors had.
    Thus replacing those with the old cursors does not lead to the same behavior.
    Although I don't understand why (when making my GUI I looked at all the arrows, different colors had their own images, all same sizes) I'll take your word on it. Would have been nice for GUI makers :/

    Yeah, I know current color changes aren't same, or rather, there are more states now. Like friendly in team/ri is different than non-teamed friendly etc. Havent done anything to those myself, they use the colored arrow atm. One funny thing is the Gauntlet buff NPC having same state as usable object (grid etc), was this intended?

    Anyway, all I replaced was the hostile target (standard_red), friendly target (standard_yellow) and usable object (standard_blue) plus changed the default cursor back to light blue. It's not exactly same as old (will be closer after I change some more images) but close enough to not be too disturbing. Only annoying part is the cursor jumping which can't be helped thanks to the way images are replaced.

    The old behavior actually was inconsistent and in several cases just wrong.
    I agree with the states, I don't have problem with them. Actually planning to make use of some of the new ones (changing images) at some point if no changes from fc. Teamed/non teamed friendlies should be quite helpfull for some of us at raids It's the images that are disturbing, and their placement on the side. They are too small, too detailed, "pokemon balls" as someone put it, and it's really disturbing when they pop up there outside the cursor itself. Disabling those won't help, as the cursor itself changing color at one part is simply nowhere near big enough notification.

    Would it be possible to just use the old graphics where applicable (hostile target, usable object, etc) and make similar images for the new states? Ie change the entire cursor, preferably with no jumping, and have the new images be big and simple enough to go with the old ones. Friendly in team/raid could be the old green circle, friendly not in team could be same circle missing part of its arc etc.

    Its not aesthetics if the new cursors make the game unplayable. Please actually read the posts -

    I am not asking for the old cursors back if they were not working correctly - obviously any cursor should work correctly.

    What is being asked for is a cursor of sufficient size and color to be usable by all of the players - like me, who are finding them difficult to find and use within the game. Let me repeat - its the ability to USE the icon that is my issue.

    I am personally quite dissatisfied with the new icon as it makes if much more difficult to enjoy the game.

    To be fair, although I probably prefer the old cursors, I've been able to get used to the new ones for the most part. However...

    Just tried to do a s42 raid and as one of the callers, i struggled to use the new cursor to target the vectors and larvae... Can't tell what's changed since pre-merge, has the color of the cursor changed or something? I can't see the cursor well enough now to use but I can't remember what the cursor looked like before, so can't tell what difference is.
