Agro "Kins"

Postby jordancoles » Tue Jul 23, 2013 9:03 am

It would be helpful to have some sort of icon to appear above agro'd players depending on where they are in your agro bar

Example:

I have 10 people agro'd on me with 10 images on the side of my screen

The 7th person down on my bar is currently right beside me and I want to use sting/dash/charge etc on him but my screen is zoomed out/I don't want to risk spam clicking in his general direction because if I click twice the move will que, I will click again and I will then run in some random direction into the enemies. It is nearly impossible to decipher who it is I should be clicking the portrait of because late game every character looks the same. (Merch robe + d helm)

If a player is un-kinned and agro'd to me, it would be helpful if they were given an "agro username" above their heads (simply a number will do)

Main agro'd person = 1
2nd down in the list has a 2 over his head
3rd down has a 3 and so on

When I switch targets, their number will switch to 1

Yes, this is an awesome suggestion! Also useful when agro'd by thousands of ants ;_;
Hope you have a great day

You already get a name on top of the top most person your aggroed to. Because of it it means that you could make this change client side. Just needs a bit of tinkering and it could work.

Not if you do not have them kinned you do not get the name and if you quickly memo they're just ???

In a group you'll likely not be renaming your ???s

You wont get there name if they are not kinned to you but that name and image indicates that the avatar portrait is linked to a player. You could use the already available data in the client to make indicators of show who each portrait links to.

What I mean is that this could be done client side so your in luck, just need to either edit your own client or find help to get it done.

Uni started for me so I have very little time unfortunately. But I'll gladly share it in the wizards tower and link here when I get around to it.
