Is anyone else sick of "Tool Tips" yet? |
I've logged in twice since the patch and already hate these things. All I want to see when I move my mouse over my buffs is how much time remains on them. Instead I see what they do, how much power they cost, their delve duration... way too much info, can't find how long they last usually within half a second. All I want to know is how much time is left on them so I know if I need to recast them.
If you turn tooltips off, you don't see anything when you place your mouse over these buffs.
Is there any way to fix this? I like the concept but it's far too much information to be of any use when actively playing.

They would be great if they didn't show up when checking buffs/debuffs/timers (3 votes)

They need to be adjustable so that a player can select the amount of info, etc. . . . Then they would be almost perfect.

Should add one more option to the Tooltip Delay dropdown list: Show only Name and Re-cast time.
Ie. Purge V, 1:12 remaining.
Like it used to be... And in the case of no re-cast timer than just a name, also like it used to be.

How about they add a Tooltip window, just big enough to display the information. When you mouse over something, it displays it in the window instead of the tooltip? Have 2 settings, mimimal and full. That way you can drag the new window to a corner out of the way and it will only display the information when you mouse over something. I hate having information I need to see covered up by the tooltip, although I like seeing the tooltip info when I want it.

As a returning player I do find the tooltips quite useful so I can determine which spell to use and what it does. Granted after a while you learn these things.
Something I have stated before is that the information in the tooltips is far too much, in some cases only the description is needed, with some information about casting time and mana perhaps (done in warhammer).
I also agree that there should be the description tooltips for the new players, and an option for name/cooldown time for the ones who are familiar with it.

I agree. I find the new ones handy for new classes I've not played before. However, for my main classes I already know what everything does.
