Arctander Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 When the sky is filled with particularly light clouds because of rain, it is nearly impossible for me to see the white swords icon to find a mission. Just adding a black border to the icon will help it to stand out no matter if the sky is light or dark. And I'd appreciate it, because sailing back and forth over where the icon "should" be for 45 minutes just isn't any fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Loe Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This was requested many times. I do hope they added it to the list for September UI patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwis Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It's normal that you can't see during rain or tempest, i hope this will not be added... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctander Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Pugwis, there's a balance between realism and fun. Floating white swords in the sky are there for fun. The rain is there for realism. Finding the balance is important... but yesterday after sailing back and forth for 45 mins I just gave up and quit playing. I'm not saying that they should be neon glow with lighting bolts flying out of them... but they really should improve the visibility. FWIW, this morning when I logged in, I was nearly on top of the swords, but yesterday I quit playing yesterday because I could not see them. http://forum.game-labs.net/index.php?/gallery/image/2484-i-logged-out-bc-i-could-not-see-this-mission-location-in-the-rain/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Take inspiration on the wrecks. Replace swords with a similar asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sella Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Like Hethwill said, replace it with a small animation of two ships fighting maybe or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 swords should be green or red to contrast against background environment. green would be most perceivable probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
