AndreaColombo Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Hi, quick question for the devs: Is it possible to bring back per-pixel occlusion on selection circles in the form of a toggable option? I understand the reason why it was removed, as occlusion hid selection circles underneath tall grass, spell fx, etc. and that was absolutely a legitimate concern. However, there are places where having selection circles on top of everything else looks kinda funky, like in this caption I took from Shevek's youtube playthrough of the the backer beta: Plus I like the idea of selection circles rippling underwater That said, I do realize this is super minor and I do not advocate that much time be spent on it, if at all. If it is something that can be easily and quickly turned into a toggable option, that would be rad. If not, that's also totally kewl.

Sensuki Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would like the selection circle blurring removed that was added in v364. Also light blue for NPCs please and a selection circle slider to control when they are displayed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YunikoYokai5 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Personally, I'm a fan of the BG (EE one, I don't know if the original did this) coloured circles for each team member (based on your primary colour). it makes it easier - for me at least - to tell which of my characters are which. Although with the current contrast issues with the background I'm not sure that is a good idea yet. My Blind Journey through the Beta.

AndreaColombo Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Although with the current contrast issues with the background I'm not sure that is a good idea yet. I recall there being issues with characters that were almost transparent in the first few builds of the backer beta but that doesn't seem to be the case any longer. What issues are left with contrast? Things look pretty good to me now. "Time is not your enemy.
