Is there a way to disable the ugly new banker/merchant icons?

They look terrible. I have NPC names turned off for immersion, yet those ugly icons remain there. Please let us turn them off. :(

I don't understand why we even needed those- we have the icons on the map.

    What are you talking about? Are you talking about the NPCs themselves or..?

    I'm talking about these new icons over certain NPCs.

    Its nice for utility npc's to have visible icons for those who need more obvious signs but not allowing people to turn it off is really immersion breaking and unpleasant, please.
  • MeningitisMeningitis ✭✭✭✭
    Yeah, when I'm around these NPCs now all I can focus on is the glaringly bright sign. I really wish these would go away when you disabled NPC names or something.

    Some people are helpless; "banker", "merchant", etc are not enough to comprehend what the npcs do. : ^ )

    On the other hand, is easier to distinguish between, let's say, actual npc merchant who sell stuff vs npc merchant for decoration, but the size of the icons are uh... such eyesore.

    Well some ppl might need it, but it would be nice to have an option to turn it off lol
    Not everyone likes everything, i personally think those things on their head looks nice but i can understand someone who doesnt.

    Or we could stop being politically correct and call both the creators and consumers of this .... "idea" .... more directly.

    Kind of makes you sad, that they waste time for this fluff, when CD popup bar has been more or less subtly broken for over a year by now.

    Priorities ...

    I can't even count how many NPC "merchants" don't actually sell anything...:angry:

    Sure, it's easy enough to find the ones who do from the mini-map, but it still kind of irks me when you have an NPC literally labeled as a MERCHANT, but they DON'T SELL ANYTHING. Talk about immersion breaking.

    Anyway. Rant aside. I agree that people should be able to turn this stuff off if they don't want it. Helpful for some, annoying for others. This stuff should be optional and customizable. Ideally, anyway.

    It's a little silly to complain about something breaking immersion in Tera. BHS/Enmasse doesn't care in the slightest bit for immersion, as much as anyone would like it to (I.E The car mounts, those stupid sushi cat mounts, Elins in general, etc).

    That said, I do find the icons a little unsightly and intrusive as well and would like to see an option to remove them. I believe the game does enough hand-holding as is, I don't think people found it too difficult to locate a service NPC.

    I find them more of a sore in terms of resource hogging. More of this kind of icon in game might mean less FPS for computers, and more cpu used(because on a cpu dependent game, what better for BHS to add than another cpu dependent icon?). So yeah. See why I don't like em much.
