Disable tool tips during combat

Recommended Posts

It doesn't really matter whether people like to play by clicking or like to play by key presses or which one is more efficient for whom, yadda yadda: as long as the option to play by clicking **exists** (and it needs to exist, for accommodation), then those who have to use it for whatever reason should not be further handicapped by having skill descriptions pop up over the field of play.

 

A toggle would be great. So would putting a delay on it. So would making it not happen while in combat. Whatever works best for your spaghetti code.

I am in support of this!!! For the longest time I was so annoyed by there being no option to make smaller/turn off damage numbers. Can barely see the combat if you do a ton of attacks and condis. I used ARCdps and they have an option to turn off the numbers! Changed my feelings for this game for the better! I wonder if a third party will just have to modify this again for our QOL request?

or you could start pressing keys on keyboard instead of click them with mouse mate.

Did you ever stop to think why some people what an option to click?

I have early arthritis that is only going to get worse. Being able to click is alot easer and less painful to do than "pressing keys on keyboard".

 

Think of others before you act all high and mighty! That goes for Anet as well, not everyone that plays might be able to use keyboard propley due to medical conditions.

 

 

Edit : oh, and before you going about typing this out on a keyboard, big diffrence with 15mins slow typing here vs 1h+ in game.

A mouse with lots of buttons on the side can be painful to use with arthritis, and we may be less able to switch between the buttons.

So would it not hurt to move the mouse around alot as well then? instead of having a hand resting on the keys on the keyboard?

Nope, at least for me it's the clicking with my thumb.

I'm ambidextrous and press the key or click the skill depending on which hand is free (left or right).

 

There's many reasons players click skills including:

- Bad keyboard without good key feedback

- Compact keyboard, especially laptop keyboards without even F# keys

- Having small hands, or too large a keyboard

- Being faster with their mouse hand

- Generic mouse with only a few buttons

- Struggling to press other keys than WASD while moving around

- Various issues with arthritis or RSI, including limited movement from joints

 

Please stop harassing players for how they play. If they didn't tell you about it, you probably wouldn't even notice, because even those who play exclusively using the keyboard and mousebinds make mistakes.

 

I recommend learning what ableism is and why its so harmful. "You can do it because I can" isn't how life works.

A hand on a mouse is rather still, only use two fingers to click. Mouse is not "moved aroud alot" as it's set to high sensitivity. Other hand never really moves from WASD. Also why should I get a new key-pad or mouse to play a game?

In this age of accounting for all disabilities Anet has left out a big one. By the end of this year or the start of 2022 I won't be able to play this game but I can still play WoW and LOTRO because those games do have a 'Tool Tip' timer delay or you turn it off altogether.

Hell even GW1 had it !

Wow people are still commenting on this post! My guess is that this quality of life change is more difficult than it appears as it wouldn't hurt anyone who didn't want to use the option. To Anet, if this is a difficult problem to solve just know it would be worth the effort for a number of your fans. My offer to buy a few gems if you can make the pop up text go away in combat stands! :)

It should not be a difficult thing to add at all otherwise any other changes would be hopeless in comparison.

 

The priority is probably just too low.
