    Damn. I missed the previous thread. Saw the name but thought I'd read it later and now it's gone :( What all happened there?

    Also yes. Remove that thing please and thank you, who even asked for it? Like seriously, I really don't think I've ever seen someone complain "my gosh it's so hard to understand when I'm pressing my rmb down, I really could use an ingame indicator for that".

    Thanks for the feedback.

    We were just introducing ourselves here don't worry its ok.

    I was hoping ZM would respond to this thread? This is what customer services stated? ZM that would be brilliant because I cannot find any official response as to why you haven't made this a toggle option?

    You allow addons which I'm sure many players appreciate greatly so wouldn't an option be best for all players?

    I personally like how the block effect looks, but I can see how others would like not always having the block graphic on.. I view this like having a hide helmet toggle so I do not think this would be bad change unless I am missing something.

    I hated them back on the PTS months ago, I hated them when they went live and weren't toggleable, and now... well, I haven't logged in in a couple weeks, so they aren't affecting me at the moment.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I believe from the research done this icon cannot be edited through any addon? This is what I don't understand?

    The default crosshair couldn't be turned off but that was solved by the brilliant combat reticle. So you would think a simple addon would solve this?

    Well they spent time on changing the indicators if this is bottom of the list. If they had so much to alter why bother editing the icons in the first place?

    I do think it would be nice to be able to turn the block effect off, I'm not sure I understand the distress over it. I barely notice them in the heat of combat.

    In the heat of battle, its hard to recognize friend from foe when I see 20+ massive shield icons I'm diving out the way from a friend blocking, massive shield icons in view I literally have to see ''through'' the icon to distinguish friend or foe.

    This is the problem, ZM shouldn't have changed the parameters. Why change this?

    I would like a toggle for the block icon to be turned off. Low priority... mainly for taking screenshots.

    I didn't see the previous thread but I think I know why they closed it :)

    Tip of the day: How to toggle the block icon off and on
    During battle ( repeat several times ) close your eyes, open them, close your eyes, open them. This will make the block icon toggle off and on.



    If you want a friend, get a dog.

    I understand what you are saying, I just don't see the issue myself is all. I can see everything just fine.

    Are you playing in first person?

    Indeed. Even in 3rd person view its the same issue.

    There was a thread regarding block icons on this forum I'm trying to find it now, its not just me who's requesting ZM to change back the parameter, the thread had multiple pages.

    Exactly thankyou, this should take no longer than ten minutes to correct back to how it was.

    This game is art. A true masterpiece please stop sugar coating the game with massive icons.

    Make it more immersive and gory. Its an 18 already.

    That was sarcasm right? I believe in ZM and also if that was the case what would be the point of this forum?

    ZM do listen to their playerbase. I'll stand to that.

    The Devs themselves aren't going to come in her and personally tell your their consideration. The most you're going to get is a Mod coming in and editing/removing a post if there's any rule breaking in it. That's all the community interaction we get.

    Thanks for the input.

    So how does this work exactly? I was told by ESO customer service staff that I had to create an account for a response?

    Do the ESO devs read this forum? Does this information even get sent anywhere? How can you contact the devs?

    Sounds like they were misleading. Keeping an on-going discussion on a topic will get their attention yes, but there's no way the devs could respond to every opinion on the forums. (Even if they *were* good at talking to us /cough) We are good at complaining and have dozens of good and bad things to say all day every day. :D At best you'll catch a community manager's attention. Especially for something that's a feature and not a bug/break.

    So best advice would be to work on your argument and keep a good debate going. (Doesn't hurt if you're extra charismatic I guess ;)) -- And try not to do it while breaking the community rules. Mods here won't really bother you otherwise. But give them a reason and they're persistent.
