Can not see the miniboss aura

#1 Post by Tom »

Hi!

Im 50+. My eyes start to loose their shape from my youth.
I have now lost several promising characters due to the fact that I realise to late that this ant or spider or easy prey is a mini boss.
*smack smack* and Im dead just due to the fact I did not see it was a mini boss.

Is there a way to make their aura a little flashier than it is now?

Can you explain it in depth a little bit more?

I think most people play with the tileset/graphics on so it's pretty easy to tell when you mouseover.

It has to do with size.
If I play 64 x 64 all is fine.
If I play 32 x 32 I can not see the violet edge of the miniboss very well.
If I mouse over I see everything clear.

Its just with 32 x 32 I see the miniboss aura to late.
I just rush into a room towards my prey when I to late realise he is a bit dangerous.

Idunno what might be a good fix other then playing at a lower/higher resolution.

You could slow down and just look at every creature to see it's ranking if it's elite or boss or not ;P

You could make an addon to replace the frame image with something more noticeable. The files in question are in data/general/gfx/shockbolt/. The one for rares is tactical_enemy_strong.png.
