Can we get some mouse cursor customizations or maybe let us disable player effects?
I’m at my breaking point with losing my mouse in pools of craziness. This game is getting worse and worse with all of the crap flashing glowy stuff all over the screen and on floors.
We need customizations for our mouse cursor. Maybe let us put borders around it, different colors, whatever. Making it larger isn’t cutting it anymore.
Or, let us disable other player’s spell effects or whatever that are purely damaging the enemy or purely healing someone else. Basically, if the effect has absolutely nothing to do with me, let me turn it off.
The game is getting nearly unplayable without ways to make the screen less messy than my ex’s moldy hoarder house. It’s well past time to address this.
But as the OP said (and I agree): the arms race of “too much stuff on the screen, so make cursor bigger” needs to stop. No more “just make the cursor bigger.”
STOP WITH ALL THE EFFING CLUTTER.
I literally laugh out loud when I play my ranged chrs because you can somewhat SEE what’s going on. Compared to on my Warrior where EVERYTHING culminates at the focal point of the target and I can’t see ANYTHING of what’s going on.
Flash and pizazz to show off stuff … or mechanics. I can’t see both.
It’s not the solution I would go for, but there is the pre-made Weak Aura Ultimate Mouse Cursor that I use that might help. https://wago.io/ZbjlsgMkp
A better solution would be high-contrast mouse cursors, like the one used in GW2.
What makes melee even worse is how stupidly close you have to be. I find many mobs (particularly large ones) have such small hitboxes that you’ll still get the “too far away” error despite standing right inside the target’s reticle. Blizzard needs to address the scaling of “melee range” when mobs start getting bigger.
Everbloom. First boss. The random little puddle splashes he does.
I CAN’T FREAKING SEE IT. FIX THE TEXTURE. GET RID OF THE RANDOM LOW POLY PLANTS. DO SOMETHING.
Crap hurts my brain trying to pick out the little specs of swirly blue in all that texture hell.
I get it though. No doubt folks are dying on the regular just because there’s 9 million AOE effects on the ground. DK’s Blood crap is arguably the worst.
With spell density turned down as low as possible to essential, I still see a mess of BDK’s ground crap, mage’s shifting power, pally’s consecrate, all of the caster stuff still going off, yada yada and then boss mechanics on top of it all.
It’s a total disaster and it’s frustrating when the difficulty of something is significantly increased by animation and graphical effects overload.
There are addons that do this. Download one for the win!
Addons are an intentional part of wow. Sometimes they are so good they get added directly into the game but the developers very much assume the play will use and/or create addons for the particular customization they want.
Addons are a core element of the game. Embrace it.
You think this is bad? You haven’t lived until you’ve played FF14 with all effects turned on with a bunch of White Mages spamming Holy. That crap will blind you! And heck, throw a Red Mage Limit Break 3 in for good measure. They don’t call it the Flashbang LB3 for nothing!
