ElectricKnight Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM Posted Tuesday at 08:09 PM (edited) Since the dawn of mankind... well, actually, since I first started playing this game - one big wish of mine was for a setting option to hide the symbols and floating FX that fade in and out around characters when they use inspirations, have active powers that grant similar buffs (Leadership Pool, power drone thingies from the START vendor, Against All Odds, and from debuffs like when getting shot by Council and others - just as a few examples). You know, those red blood drop symbols, the purple shield symbols, the yellow reticle symbols, et cetera. I recall discussions on the live forums about how those FX weren't separated to make the task of implementing such a user setting as a feasible option. However I've wondered if 1) if anyone from the team ever took it upon themselves to try and accomplish this or 2) if anyone ever worked on a MOD to possibly make this happen (client-side). If I recall correctly, discussions I had in the past indicated that maybe we could go pigg diving, locate each of those FX elements, and replace them with invisible or blank elements. All these years later, and I'm just checking... anyone else ever look into this? Has anything ever been accomplished towards that? I could go into some detail as to WHY anyone would want this, but is it really necessary? Some of us would prefer to be able to turn such things off and some wouldn't. And that's fine. 😊 The status icons under my health bar are enough for me and I prefer the purity of the in-world elements and FX to be the only things necessary to display on the characters (players and NPCs). Just my wish! At the very least, I think most people can relate to screenshots being "ruined" by one or more of those types of 2D-ish FX on a character or more. Zap Zap!

DoctorDitko Posted Tuesday at 09:21 PM Posted Tuesday at 09:21 PM Are these made of particles? Many translucent sfx are. Of course, /noparticles 1 hides other things as well. Many ghosts become fully invisible. Never procrastinate when you can perendinate! Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from Doctor Ditko. Also, not a physicist.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
