Damask_Rose Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 How do we disable the giant flashing vendor and mail box icons? Did I miss an option in preferences? Turning off friendly npc nameplates leaves the garish icons. I tried control U and they are still there. A lot of screenshots are going to be ruined if we can't disable those monstrosities.

I don’t mind them personally, but you are right. This actually would be a good option to have. Same as we can turn off and on player names and symbols, guild, etc. Screenshots are a great example for why we would need this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darev Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 There needs to be an option put in nameplates that allows us to turn them off. And no matter what, they shouldn't show up when the UI is disabled via CTL+U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlameYOL Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Agreed, having it an option to disable would be good for screenshots. I don't mind them being up during my normal playthrough but if I have to take a screenshot I don't want the icons photo-bombing the damn thing.

Damask_Rose Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 The UI is *disabled* by Ctrl+U, but what's more interesting is that it's *hidden* (for screenie purposes) by Alt+Z. Unfortunately they still show with Alt-Z as well. I assume this has to be a bug so I'm going to post it on the bug portion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Finally! I thought i'm the only one who is bothered by those animated icons over every vendor. Please give us the option to turn the icons off, or link them to nameplate visibility, If it's too complicated to do this, don't add the icons until you can add an option to turn them off.

Mubrak Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Friendly bump, waiting for a dev response... I'm already researching ways to make the icons go away on my side. There's something wrong with a new feature when players are looking for 3rd party options to get rid of it before it is even released on live.

Banthabreeder Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Yes, please. Give us the ability to turn it off. Not sure who requested this but pretty sure the majority of players don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recalcitrantIre Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yes, please. Give us the ability to turn it off. Not sure who requested this but pretty sure the majority of players don't want it. pretty sure this is true for their new tooltips as well, especially since they've flat-out removed information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IoNonSoEVero Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Friendly reminder to the devs that flashing/blinking lights can set off epilepsy and other seizure disorders. The ones on Odessen don't look so bright but on places like the fleet where there are a lot of vendors in a dark space that could be an issue for some players. There should be a way to disable the blinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) It also applies to vendor decorations. Please don't put silly icons on our Jawas or give us free replacements that are not vendors. Or, well... Just don't add any intrusive UI features without also adding a way to turn them off. Edited August 28, 2019 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please add an option to TURN OFF ALL ICONS (includes vendors, mailboxes etc). I do not want to see this mess (imgur link) when videoing or screen-shotting my strongholds (or anywhere else for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 (edited) Still no way to turn off the new vendor icons in the current build. Do not release it like this! Edited September 6, 2019 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwer Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Mmm, can we sue BW if you get an epileptic seizure because of that? Just thrown in the round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Still no way to turn off the new vendor icons. And they are still shown with disabled UI. Do we really need to use 3rd party tools to fix that bug by injecting invisble textures? Don't let it go live like this. Add an option to turn the icons off and fix the bug where they're not disabled when we press Alt+Z. Edited October 4, 2019 by Mubrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambril Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 +1 for the ability to turn off the new icons. They are completely unnecessary. Sambril - able to find mailboxes and vendors since 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urdnot_Karth Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 *bump* I'd love a hide option for those icons too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elssha Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Agreed; it would be nice to have an option to revert to the old icons or hide them entirely... or like others have said to hide the icons in SH. We KNOW what's a vendor in our SH, and if not/visitors can see it on the mini and regular maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
