Console "Cursor" Suggestion
Hello,
The controller game play is quite good. However it does seem that sometimes spells are wasted because targeting or facing is unclear in the heat of the moment. I have two ideas that I think would be very nice functions to have in game. That being said if these features already exist please direct me to them! I have looked through the settings and can't find anything that I specifically need. 1. Sticky Targeting Button: I see that there is an option to have sticky targeting that can be cycled with right stick. I am unclear on how this ability works, but I will still define my desire. What I would like is to allow you to maintain regular targeting however during a boss fight you can CLICK on the right/left stick and in settings have a select box option between a) auto sticky target the boss on click (sticky targets the boss no matter what) b) sticky target selected target on click (sticky targets whatever you have highlighted) A second click of the stick would un-sticky target the ... target. 2. Console Cursor: PC players have the visual advantage of a cursor on screen. Obviously this is inherent for a mouse. It is a visual advantage because it is distinct and not apart of the world and allows you to extrapolate lines between your character and the cursor . I DO NOT want a free floating cursor. What I would like is a cursor that is linked to some adjustable radius around the character that also gives us the advantage of extrapolating between our character and the cursor. Also please give us some options. Edit: Forgot to mention that the cursor and line would always be tied to your facing. a) Allow the cursor to fade in on activation of right/left stick, with a timed fade out b) Allow constant on cursor c) Allow line of adjustable width and color (style?) to be drawn between character and cursor d) Allow line to fade in and out independently of cursor on activation of right/left stick e) set radius distance for cursor How I see these working in game: 1. Boss fight: I run into room, boss spawns I right click my stick and it automatically targets the boss and I can start casting spells. Adds spawn so I right click stick to de-target boss and I kill adds. Right click stick after adds to start wailing on boss again. 2. I am fighting 20 mobs all scattered around me I am using regular targeting so I am casting spells on whatever is highlighted red. Something pops up from behind me, I use my right stick to change facing as I am walking the opposite directions. I have Cursor always on with line set to fade. As I activate my right stick the line pops into view so that I can verify that the directional AOE spell I am about to cast is actually overlaying the mob I want to hit. I successfully hit my target. 0.75s after I let go of right stick the line fades out. No more blasting Unearth into a random direction because my current facing was not in the direction I thought it was.
