Leader Highlighting Screenshots on Casters Realm (http://eq.crgaming.com/viewarticle.asp?Article=5303)

Looks kind of neat I am concerned those of us who have hardware TnL forceably disabled by EQ (Certain ATI Cards) will be able to use them. The DX9 update on test has not helped any, but I have heard rumors the problem is fixed on the Beta server. We can hope.

In any case, it looks pretty neat. I wonder if the leader can specify a different color or some other distinction for each mob.

Edit: Oops thought I was in the Expansion Forum, sorry, please move :)

Targetting ring still doesnt work for me :(. I am using a Radeon Mobility 9200 video card to play EQ, guess none of the leadership stuff will work too. Grats on a fabulous engine Sony!

At best, it's a slight facilitator. The kinda thing that should be made a feature, but not something I would xp for... Unless I really had nothing else to do in game

I'd have to agree. In a group of 36-72 people, that ring is going to be buried under the masses. Even if you can see it, I fail to see what real advantages it gives me over not having it. Then again, I feel that about all the leadership skills really. Plus, I just can't wait to see all the bitching over who gets to lead groups (raids are easy, stfu or I'll /guildremove your ass:) )

-Chanters could use it to mark mez orders
-Can be used to seperate mobs that need to be killed from those that get mezzed (ie: like in time trials, time saryn/tt fights)
-The MA's target ring will let off healers target the other mob that is inc that's more likely to not be be taunted off any enchanters/debuffers/healers.
-Would let offtanks grab them quicker as well.
-Marking mobs so they can be distinguished from ea. other if they look the same and different debuffers or tanks can be much more easily assigned to them (time tz fight comes to mind as being a big benefactor there).

There's a bunch of ways the system could be adapted to be useful. And the rings are in all likely hood editable like the regular target rings if visibility is a problem but it also shows the number by the mobs name (should probably be /feedbacked to change the colour of the mobs name as well though).

The targeting rings annoyed me so I turned them off. I'd hate to have turn them on to raid.
