Still too hard to see, not enough contrast or is too small.

Too easy to see, is too bright and out of place.

0.9.2b includes a new cursor! What do you think of the visibility of this cursor?

Voted option two (too small).

My main complaint is not the visibility though, but that it does not fit the game. I'd expect to see this kind of mouse cursor in a futuristic game, a simulator or an RTS.

On my wishlist: each class gets its own, distinct cursor.

I don't like the new cursor at all, both the size (too tiny!) and color (unnatural greyish, neither fits the theme nor makes it any more visible at least for me :P)

My dream cursor would fatter and darker.. (either black or dark gold) that would be both more distinct and fitting?


oh.. and repeating a plea for fairy winged cursor sprinkling dust on zombies.. (could we have this second one in microtransaction store? <3)

I love the aesthetic of the cursor and the contrast used to allow it to be seen in dark and light areas respectively, but I also feel like it could be a touch larger to be easier to find in hectic situations and places with less contrast [desert/certain areas of the forest], but not so large as to feel like I'm playing a fisher-price arpg.

As long as nothing dumb happens like changing the cursor to be bright neon or something, I'll be happy. The sizing is really the only issue here.

Post-patch edit: Perfect!!

Having just got into the beta in this latest patch I can't compare it to the old cursor.

I will say that on the highest resolution on a 17" laptop monitor the cursor did seem to be a tad small. On the other hand I never lost track of it when I was fighting.

I voted 2, although I don't really have an issue with the cursor. It's just kind of... boring, right now. I wish you'd spice it up a bit.

option 2, too small

i preffer a mouse like a hand, something more like this:





but with more dark effects, i dont know if i explain correctly, i hope yes :)


I dig the new Cursor so i voted option one, but I do have a couple things to say about it.

1- It 'could' be just a little bit bigger. I think its safer to be small than large with a game like this, because you don't want to cover up the action, but it could stand a small size boost.

2- Its rather nitpicky, but it would be nice if it was a little more themed. Its a good looking cursor, but nothing about it says PoE. It's definitely not a must, but it would be nice.
Fine art but too small. It's tiny.

I like its minimalism but if it makes the cursors difficult to see during a big fight, it's just disadvantageous.

agree on both i also think its to small

you could add the option of customizing the curent cursor so if ppl want a huge neon red one they can have it and they wont bother anyone else
