Feedback: Tanking with numbers

    I was tank in a dungeon for the first time today and really struggled because my screen looked like a fireworks display crossed with an excel spreadsheet!!!

    There were explosions and numbers flying everywhere, to the point where it was really hard to seen the mob or work out what it was doing, let alone find a different mob if there was more than one.

    In the end I just moved its nameplate somewhere clean and stared at that to see when I needed to interrupt or move positions.

    Please could you put in an option to clean up the screen and not see any of the numbers flying upwards, pet names etc., so it's a bit easier for the tanks to know what's going on.

    Cheers

    You're not the first person to have that issue. Many people would like the option to turn down or off the ability effects in various situations.

    While it won't happen soon, VR has stated in the past that the UI will have a major overhaul before release that will include much more player control of the various features locations and intensities.

    Further to my suggestion: I've noticed this is only an issue in confined spaces (like Halnir's Caverns), where you cant zoom out far enough to have your camera not in the middle of all the numbers... so one fix might be to make the font a LOT smaller when the camera is very close to the monster. The explosions and stuff I can deal with.
