Mouse pointer

Noticed that there was an ingame mouse pointer after the patch.
Actually it was perfect before , you could use whatever pointer you wanted. I had a bright withe/blue arrowhead , big and clearly visible . The difference now is that you cant change it. But I guess its not final , but to dont have an ingame pointer is really the best. Everybody can choose size,looks,color of their pointers.Download or make their own.

I use a very dark cursor, and I don't want to change that so I can see it in the game. The one they added is far better for me, though it could stand to be a little bigger.

A lot of games include an option to disable mouse acceleration, which disables the in-game cursor artwork. I've never wanted or needed to use that option, but I don't see any reason why PoE can't have it.

Personally, I like the cursor art but it still doesn't stand out well enough. It needs to be larger, and scaled so it's the same size regardless of screen resolution. It could also use a gem or some other kind of brightly-colored detail that contrasts with the color scheme of the game.

I just started the beta yesterday and I have to say that I find the mouse pointer a little small.

I don't know if it's because of my resolution (1920x1080), but in about 4-5 hours of playing I've probably lost the cursor mid-combat about 10-15 times.

The new Cursor is not so optimal sometimes i search him on screen , thats on Herectic situations not Good ;)
The Old one was to small, so me and Deathtiny use the Windows Aero Big SystemTheme version and it was Perfect

I'd love to have another cursor, more graphically visible, but definitely one that is build in game, made by our praised devs.
I don't want to use any other cursor than default on my entire system, or changing them manually any time I log out of the game.
Proud Beta tester.
The cursor should be larger and should be a different colour - sometimes I find it hard to distinguish it from the level background or the things I'm targeting with it. This is felt especially when I'm using Ice Spear with my witch, because it requires good aiming and sometimes I wonder why I missed a shot, only to find out that the mouse cursor was two inches away from the target.
In all games I always play as a warrior, guess it's in my blood or something. For all the lonely warriors out there, unite under my banner! Let us dominate over the other classes! To arms!

The cursor in today's update is a bit larger. We probably can add functionality that lets you override it with your own.

Thx for the cursor update in 0.9.2c (though it wasn't an issue for me).

I can't wait for people running low resolution to say how large it is... I kinda feel like I'm playing asteroids. LOL

On a related note, it would be awesome if there was a way to get a user controlled UI scaling slider in the option menu.

The scaling is being worked on.
