Icons--small pet peeveFollow

#1 Nov 21 2004 at 4:47 PM Rating: Decent
Who else is getting tired of looking at many different weapons and seeing the same icon over and over. I know its a minor detail but its just annoying knowing this game is so great so far but a tiny issue that like can be annoying. Im sure its not a lot of work to create a different icon for each different weapon. It would be so much cooler that way.

Feel free to agree with me or tell me to shut up and stop ***********

Because the actual item that shows on yourself is better?!

i know it wont change the actual item but seeing the same icon for multiple items makes it seem to me as if they didnt put as much work into this game and just recycled icons from WC3

Actually they could make the icon for each item just a different colored bubble with text as far as I am concerned. Icon's are just for use as an inventory mechanism.

As long as they look different equipped I am happy.

If you could appreciate the massive scope of the game and the amount of detail they have put into environments and crafting the storyline behind the quests... I'm sure you can let them get lazy with icons.

There just ain't no pleasing people, y'know.

i really love this game and im extremely impressed with it. like it said in the title its a small pet peeve and i just wanted to see what other people thought about the topic. The detail is great and the enviornments are even better. I hope they come out with expansion packs later on and not a WOW2 like stupid everquest did. I plan on playing this game for a while!

Come on now, EQ brought out 8 expansions before deciding to move on with an EQ2... and apparently they still plan at least another expansion for EQ1.

Back to your icon question though, i never really noticed. I suppose they were a bit repetitive now that i think about it, but it doesnt really matter and is easily fixed via patches if they wish.

Not to mention, it only took them close to 6 years to make a sequel. If WoW2 was in 2010, right after the release of Diablo 4, would you complain?

I'm fine with the icons so long as I can tell what slot they're for. Some slight indication to what they look like is nice, but icons are just icons. As long as there's more than 3 for a given slot/armor-type combo, I'm fine with that.

You never played FFXI did you?

All the stuff looked alike, icons and on the body. At least in WoW it looks different on the body, which is more important.

The day WoW makes expansion like SOEs expansions, is the day Blizzard lets me down.

only problem i had with it was when i looted 4 of the same knife while slaughtering boars by the loch. sold em at the excavation site but sold my skinning knife by mistake since they all looked the same. lucky they added the buyback feature

Looking back on Blizzard's past expansions for its other games(Lord of Destruction, Brood Wars and the Frozen Throne), I'm safe to say the WoW expansion will be very, very exciting. Still too early, though...

i ahve ALOT of hopes for the expansion, and i havnt even been able to hit 20th in the OB.
so im getting ahead of myself.
but yes blizz expansions are often great,.. i just didnt agree with the game engine "showdown" between arathas and ilidan, it looked horrible, if they done it like their usaul wonderfully renderd FMVs i would of drolled over it.
so far in all the games and expansions thats been my only peeve
